Eraser Tool Faucet: Throw Out The Kitchen Sink

Eraser Tool FaucetWhen you are using the Eraser tool in Flash, there is an option that looks like a water faucet with a drip of water coming out of it. Using the Faucet option you can obliterate whole areas of similar color. It's like throwing out the whole kitchen sink. Using the Selection tool, instead of the Eraser, you can use another method to delete items quickly by holding down the delete key and then clicking on strokes or fills.
