Now you have two shapes.
Let's start with the shadow. Select one of the shapes, if none is already selected.
Go
to Modify > Shape > Soften
fill edges...
I choose
Distance: 9 px
Number of steps: 11
Direction: Inset
This shape is now really many different shapes. When you've just finished the
softening, all the new shapes are selected.
Convert them to a symbol:
Insert > Convert to Symbol... (F8).
I name mine "shadow".
Now it's in your library, and you can delete the instance from
the stage. (The original remains in the library.)

| theCaramella started out as an artist, pencils and brushes. Then she bought her first computer, and then there were only computing. Now she's a full time student at the University of Oslo, Informatics of course, while giving some classes at rare occasions. (Who in this business' got money today?) :) |
