Active Shape is an extension combines parts of Active Objects, Active Picture Objects, and Quick Backdrops, for creating basic shapes that can be changed at runtime. Active Shape objects support various border and fill options, and basic text display. They support collisions, and can be used interchangeably with Active Objects in some extensions.

Runtimes
Flash Runtime
A Flash runtime version of Active Shape was created and is maintained by Lukas Meller (Looki). Limitations include some text rendering problems, and collision mask is not supported, but otherwise supports all the features present in the standard runtime. The Flash runtime version can be found in its release topic.
Usage
Active Shapes will mostly be configured at edit-time, and most interaction with Active Shapes will be the same actions and expressions used with Active Objects, but all visual aspects of the Active Shape can be changed at runtime as well.
