Working with objects overview

In Flash, objects are items on the Stage. Flash lets you move, copy, delete, transform, stack, align, and group objects. You can also link an object to a URL. Note that modifying lines and shapes can alter other lines and shapes on the same layer. See Drawing overview.

Note: The term object is used in the ActionScript programming language with a different meaning. Be careful not to confuse the two uses of the term. Refer to ActionScript Help for more on objects in the programming language.
