Selecting objects
To modify an object, select it first. You can group individual objects to manipulate them as a single object. Modifying lines and shapes can alter other lines and shapes on the same layer. When you select objects or strokes, Flash highlights them with a marquee.
You can choose to select only an object’s strokes or only its fills. You can hide selection highlighting to edit objects without viewing highlighting.
When you select an object, the Property inspector displays the following:
-
The object’s stroke and fill, its pixel dimensions, and the x and y coordinates of the object’s transformation point
-
A mixed selection, if you select multiple items. The pixel dimensions and x and y coordinates of the selected set of items.
You can use a shape’s Property inspector to change that object’s stroke and fill.
To prevent a group or symbol from being selected and accidentally changed, lock the group or symbol.
