#### Availability

Flash MX 2004.

#### Description

The drawingLayer object is accessible from JavaScript as a child of the flash object. The drawingLayer object is used for extensible tools when the user wants to temporarily draw while dragging—for example, when creating a selection marquee. You should call drawingLayer.beginFrame() (../drawingLayer_object/drawingLaye1.md) before you call any other drawingLayer methods.
