Actions panel.

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an item.
Accessibility in the Flash authoring environment
Accessibility support in the Flash authoring environment provides keyboard shortcuts for
navigating and using interface controls, including panels, the Property inspector, dialog boxes, the
Stage, and objects on the Stage, so that you can work with these interface elements without using
the mouse.
Note: Certain keyboard controls are available only in Windows. See “About Flash authoring
accessibility on the Macintosh” on page 44 .
You can customize the keyboard shortcuts for accessibility in the authoring environment using
the Workspace Accessibility Commands section of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. See
“Customizing keyboard shortcuts” on page 42 .
Some authoring environment accessibility features are unavailable on the Macintosh. See the
following section.
