CHAPTER 8
Working with Graphic Objects
In Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004, graphic objects
are items on the Stage. Flash lets you move, copy, delete, transform, stack, align, and group
graphic objects. You can also link a graphic object to a URL. Keep in mind that modifying lines
and shapes can alter other lines and shapes on the same layer. See
Chapter 5, "Drawing," on
page
85.
Note: Graphic objects in Flash are different from ActionScript objects, which are part of the
ActionScript programming language. Be careful not to confuse the two uses of the term. For more
information on objects in the programming language, see "About data types" in Using ActionScript in
Flash.
