Unless otherwise specified, methods affect the current focus or selection. For example, the following script doubles the
size of the current selection because no particular object is specified:

fl.getDocumentDOM().scaleSelection(2, 2);

In some cases, you might want an action to specifically target the currently selected item in the Flash document. To do
this, use the array that the

document.selection

property contains (see

document.selection

). The first element in

the array represents the currently selected item, as shown in the following example:

var accDescription = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].description;

The following script doubles the size of the first element on the Stage that is stored in the element array, instead of the
current selection:

var element = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0];

if (element) {

element.width = element.width*2;

element.height = element.height*2;

}

You can also do something such as loop through all the elements on the Stage and increase the width and height by a
specified amount, as shown in the following example:

var elementArray =

fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements;

for (var i=0; i < elementArray.length; i++) {

var offset = 10;

elementArray[i].width += offset;

elementArray[i].height += offset;

}

Summary of the DOM structure

The following list displays the DOM structure in outline format. Numbers at the beginning of each line represent the
level of an object. For example, an object preceded by “03” is a child of next highest “02” object, which, in turn, is a
child of the next highest “01” object.
