Glossary

Shape & Image: Computers display graphics in either vector or bitmap format. Flash lets users create and animate compact vector graphics. It also supports users to import and manipulate bitmap graphics that have been created in other applications.

Shape: the vector graphics used in flash (*.swf file). Vector graphics describe images using lines and curves -- "vectors", which also include color and position properties. You can move, re-size, reshape, and change the color of a vector graphic without changing the quality of its appearance.
Image: graphics in bitmap format. Bitmap graphics describe images using colored dots -- "pixels", which are arranged within a grid. Bitmap graphics are resolution-dependent because the data describing the image is fixed to a grid of a particular size. Editing a bitmap graphic can change the quality of its appearance.
Morph Shape: refers the shapes in shape tween.
