Properties panel (Flash) Indicates what settings are being used for objects and allows you to change those settings

Object Any item placed on a frame that has not been converted to a graphic, button, or movie clip

Graphics These are objects that have been converted so that you can use the same image a number of times in a movie.  You can also use this to do fade effects, rotation effects, and flip effects

Button These are objects that have been designed to be a interactive object.  You create buttons so that action scripts can be used to control others or events in the movie.

Movie Clip This is an animation within a movie that contains it’s own timeline (a movie within a movie). They can be used repeatedly within the main movie.

Action Script A programming language inside Flash that allows you to take your movie to the next level. They are used to control the flow of the movie, control events in a movie, and allow for user interaction with your movie.
