Accessibility in the Flash screens authoring environment
Using keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, users can navigate a document and use interface elements, including
screens, panels, the Property inspector, dialog boxes, the Stage, and objects on the Stage.
Accessibility support for screen-based documents is similar to support for other documents, except that when
keyboard shortcuts are used to navigate panels (F6 in Windows or F6 in Mac
OS), the Screen
Outline pane receives focus the first time the keyboard shortcut is used. For other documents, the Timeline receives
focus first).
The Screen Outline pane receives focus only the first time you cycle through the panels. That is, if you arrive at the last
panel and press the keyboard shortcut again, the Screen Outline pane is skipped, and the next panel receives focus.
To cycle through individual screens in the Screen Outline pane, you use the arrow keys.

Adding content to screens
Set properties and parameters for a screen
To set properties and parameters for individual screens, use the Property inspector. On the left side of the Property
inspector, you can view the instance name, width, height, and
x
and
y
coordinates of a screen.
•
The instance name is a unique name assigned to a screen, used when you target the screen in ActionScript. Each
screen is assigned a default instance name, based on its default name in the Screen Outline pane. The instance name
and default screen name are also identical to the linkage identifier for the screen. If you update the instance name,
the default screen name and the linkage identifier are also updated.
•
Width and height are specified in pixels. The values in the W and H fields are read-only. Width and height are
determined by the screen contents. To make sure the registration point stays in the same relative position when the
screen width and height change, use the Auto Snap option.
