Example
In the following example, you can set b and c to -1 and 0, respectively; these settings skew the
object at a 45º vertical angle:
var mat = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].matrix;
mat.b = -1;
mat.c = 0;
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].matrix = mat;
To skew the object back to its original shape, you can set b and c to 0.
