shape.isGroup

#### Availability

Flash MX 2004.

#### Usage

shape.isGroup

#### Description

Read-only property; if true, the shape is a group. A group can contain different types of elements, such as text elements and symbols. However, the group itself is considered a shape, and you can use the shape.isGroup property no matter what types of elements the group contains.

#### Example

The following example stores the first selected object in the sel variable and then uses the element.elementType (../Element_object/element1.md) and
shape.isGroup properties to determine if the selected item is a group:

javascript
var sel = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0];
var shapeGroup = (sel.elementType == "shape") && sel.isGroup; 
fl.trace(shapeGroup);
