Creating a new screen-based document (Flash Professional only) 343
Using the screens context menu (Flash
Professional only)
The screens context menu contains many commands for working with screens. You can
insert screens, cut, copy and paste screens, and perform other operations with the context
menu commands.
To view the context menu for a screen:
■
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a screen thumbnail in the Screen
Outline pane.
Creating a new screen-based document
(Flash Professional only)
You can create a new screen-based document using one of two screen types:
■
A Flash Slide Presentation uses the slide screen as the default screen type.
■
A Flash Form Application uses the form screen as the default screen type.
For more information, see “Slide screens and form screens (Flash Professional only)”
on page 339 .
When you create a new screen-based document, it contains a top-level container screen and a
single screen of the default type. Keep in mind that a screen-based document can be published
only Flash Player 6 format or later, with ActionScript 2.0. You cannot save a screen-based
document in any earlier Flash Player format.
You can create a new screen-based document from the Start page or from the New Document
dialog box. For information on the New Document dialog box, see
“Creating or opening a
document and setting properties” on page 22 .
