Object drawing Mode in Flash CS4

Lets draw a circle on stage and similarly with another color chosen from the color panel box draw another circle on stage, you will find flash CS4 different from Flash Professional, in the sense both the circles are on drawing object mode and you can change the color of each the way you want, unlike flash professional, the second object drawn on stage will be considered as a grouped object and you cannot change the color, if you want to change the color you can by clicking on the grouped object, but in Flash CS4 you can change the color, use a stroke, change the color of stroke etc.,

Let’s draw one circle first and draw the second one overlapping on the first circle.

and then moving it away from the first one, see what happens.

You can avoid this by selecting on each circle and clicking on the group option under the modify menu on the main menu here.

Once you group each object, you can separate them even if there are overlapped on each other by not cutting them.

You can use the object drawing mode switched on which is found on the options panel on the main menu on the extreme right bar and draw,
then flash CS4 will treat circle a separate drawing.
