Not quite everything I would guess. This method is used to launch any  
object from a parts bin, e.g. the supplies/widgets/tools flaps and the  
object catalog, not just morphs. It typically is sent to a class but  
could very well be used with other objects too. So moving is seems  
inappropriate.
