Some may but I don't because I realize that items imported into Flash

usually have multiple nested groupings that usually require multiple

brealing aparts (or ungroupings) before you get to the drawn color. If

you don't want all the separate groups to be flattened then you should

separate those items by layers before completely breaking everything

apart. Note, you should break apart all imported items as the first step

in optimizing imported graphics.
