It's used for removing unwanted parts on an object. It differs from a similar tool found in standard graphics programs due to the fact that Flash is vector based.

The Erase Mode modifier changes the way the tool handles object components.

You can also select the shape and size of the Erase cursor using the drop down menu.

When the Eraser tool it used with the Faucet modifier , you can selectively delete an outline or a fill with a single click. The mouse cursor shape changes to when this modifier is activated.
