Using the History panel 55
To remove deleted items from a document after using the Undo command, you use the Save
and Compact command. See
“Saving documents when you undo steps” on page 58 .
You can use the Repeat command to reapply a step to the same object or to a different object.
For example, if you move a shape named shape_A, you can select Edit > Repeat to move the
shape again, or you can select another shape, shape_B, and select Edit > Repeat to move the
second shape by the same amount.
By default, Flash supports 100 levels of undo for the Undo menu command. You can select
the number of undo and redo levels, from 2 to 9999, in Flash Preferences. For more
information, see “Setting preferences in Flash” in
Getting Started with Flash .

Using the History panel
The History panel shows a list of the steps you’ve performed in the active document since you
created or opened that document, up to a specified maximum number of steps. (The History
panel doesn’t show steps you’ve performed in other documents.) The slider in the History
panel initially points to the last step that you performed.
You can use the History panel to undo or redo individual steps or multiple steps at once. You
can apply steps from the History panel to the same object or to a different object in the
document. However, you cannot rearrange the order of steps in the History panel. The
History panel is a record of steps in the order in which they were performed.
To remove deleted items from a document after you undo a step in the History panel, you use
the Save and Compact command. For more information, see
“Saving documents when you
undo steps” on page 58 .
By default, Flash supports 100 levels of undo for the History panel. You can select the number
of undo and redo levels, from 2 to 9999, in Flash Preferences. For more information, see
