Script window overview
The Script window lets you create external script files that you import into your application. These scripts can be
ActionScript, Flash Communication, or Flash JavaScript files. The Add (+) menu lists the language elements available
for the type of script you create.
Script window
If you have more than one external file open, filenames are displayed on tabs across the top of the Script window.
In the Script window, you can use the following features: the Add (+) menu (which is like the Actions toolbox), find
and replace, syntax checking, syntax coloring, auto format, code hinting, code commenting, code collapse, debug
options (ActionScript files only), and word wrap. The Script window also lets you display line numbers and hidden
characters.
The Script window does not include code-assistance features such as the Script navigator, Script Assist mode, and
behaviors. These features are useful only in the context of creating a FLA file, not an external script file.
