One of the advantages of LiveDocs is the ability to see comments that
clarify the documentation, or correct any errata or issues that arise after a
software release. LiveDocs is not the place to ask for help requests, such as
asking questions about your code that doesn’t work, or how to complete a
specific task. LiveDocs is the correct place to provide feedback about the
documentation (for example, if you notice a sentence or paragraph that
could be clarified).
When you click the link to add a comment on LiveDocs, you see several
points about the kinds of comments that are acceptable on the system.
Please read these guidelines closely, or your comment might be removed
from the website if it does not conform to the guidelines.
If you have a question about Flash, please ask it on the Macromedia Flash
web forums:
www.macromedia.com/go/flash_forums . The web forums are
the best place to ask questions, because many Macromedia employees,
Team Macromedia volunteers, Macromedia user group managers and
members, and even technical writers monitor these forums.
Controlling the appearance of the Help panel
You can control how the Help panel appears in Flash.
Arranging the Help panel in the Flash workspace
You can arrange the Help panel position in the workspace to optimize its
usability. You can easily control the size of the display area, and where and
when the Help panel is displayed. For more details about working with
panels, see
“Using panels and the Property inspector” on page 81 .
To arrange the Help panel in a docked position:
1. Dock the Help panel in the desired position.
2. Expand the Help panel if it is not already expanded.
3. Drag the split bar between the panel or panel group and the Document
window so you can see the Stage area.
4. Press F1 to collapse and expand the Help panel as needed.
