When you work on a merge-drawing shape (in other words, one created without
object-drawing mode toggled on), you can use the Selection tool to select specific
pieces of objects:
• Clicking a stroke selects the line segment between the nearest two anchor points.
• Clicking a fill selects the entire area of the color you click.

• Double-clicking a merge-drawing shape selects the entire stroke and fill.
• Double-clicking the stroke of a merge-drawing shape selects the entire stroke.
• Clicking and dragging a marquee selects only the pixels inside the marquee area.

This behavior enables a type of destructive editing that is unique to Animate
drawing tools. You can select and move or delete certain pieces of an object without
affecting other pieces of the same object.
1. With corvette.fla open, click the Body layer icon in the Timeline panel to
select the layer.
When you select a layer, all objects on the layer become selected. In this case, the layer
only contains one object — the shape of the car’s body.

Clicking a layer icon in
the Timeline panel selects
all objects on that layer.
