PE 4 - Flash | Merge drawing vs. Object drawing

The first thing I learned in flash is the difference between the two drawing modes within flash.

Object drawing mode allows you to move objects around on different layers. If an object overlaps another object, each individual object is left unaffected.

Merge drawing mode uses a shape’s o

utline as a way to sort of "smart erase” the object behind it. In other words, if I placed a circle over a square in merge drawing mode, a circle shape would be eliminated from the square if I moved the circle away from the square.
