Creating controls and transitions for
screens with behaviors (Flash
Professional only)
You can create controls and transitions for screens using behaviors. Controls enable the flow
between screens—for example, you can go to another screen, hide a screen, or show a screen.
Transitions create visual animations that play as the Flash document display changes from one
screen to another.
Behaviors are built-in ActionScript scripts that you add to an object, such as a screen, to
control that object. Behaviors lets you add the power, control, and flexibility of ActionScript
coding to your document without having to create the ActionScript code yourself. Behaviors
are available for a variety of objects in Flash, including movie clips, text fields, and video and
sound files.
