3.
Select from the respective options as described in the procedures that
follow. For more information on ActionScript Editor preferences, see
“Using the ActionScript editor” in
Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Flash .
To set General preferences, select from the following options:
■
For On Launch options, select an option to specify which document
Flash opens when you start the application. Select Show Start Page to
display the Start Page. Select New Document to open a new, blank
document. Select Last Documents Open to open the documents that
were open when you last quit Flash. Select No Document to start Flash
without opening a document.
■
For Undo, enter a value from 2 to 300 to set the number of undo/redo
levels. Undo levels require memory; the more undo levels you use, the
more system memory is consumed. The default is 100. Next select
Document- or Object-level undo. Document-level undo maintains a
single list of all your actions for the entire Flash document. Object-level
undo maintains separate lists of your actions for each object in your
Flash document. Object-level undo gives you greater flexibility, since
you can undo an action on one object without having to also undo
actions on other objects that may have been modified more recently
than the target object.
■
For Printing Options (Windows only), select Disable PostScript if you
want to disable PostScript output when printing to a PostScript printer.
By default, this option is deselected. Select this option if you have
problems printing to a PostScript printer, but keep in mind that this
will slow down printing.
