In Flash, graphic objects
are items on the Stage. Flash lets you move, copy, delete, transform,
stack, align, and group graphic objects.
Modifying lines and shapes can alter other lines and shapes on
the same layer.
Note: “Graphic objects” in Flash are different from “ActionScript
objects,” which are part of the ActionScript™ programming
language. Do not confuse the two uses of the term
“objects.”
