flash (macromedia): Lasso works with the raw art (vectors) so edit the symbol.

Actually you might want to turn it off, since you need to "edit in place"
or ungroup to edit a drawing object. Try drawing a circle with object
drawing mode turned on and off (via the tools panel) to see the
difference. -Tom Unger

If I have drawn, say, a circle and filled it in using gradient filling.
Now I wanted to brake it into several pieces using lasso, but lasso does not
work on that drawing. I converted it into a graphic symbol - no joy.
How shal I make lasso to work in this context?

As I said, I converted it into a graphic symbol and tried to use lasso on
that symbol.
It allows editing like free transform? but not lasso.
How else shall I edit it?
