Collapse sections of code
To make your code more readable and easier to navigate during programming and debugging, collapse sections of

Adding ActionScript with shortcut keys
To add elements to a script, use Escape shortcut keys (pressing the Escape key, and then two other keys). For example,
if you are working in the Script pane and press d+o, the following code is placed in your script:
do {
} while ();
The insertion point is placed after the word
while
, so you can begin typing your condition. Similarly, if you press
c+h, the following code is placed in your script, and the insertion point is placed between the parentheses
(), so you can begin typing your condition:
catch () {
}
To learn which commands have Escape shortcut keys, display them in the Actions toolbox by selecting Escape
Shortcut Keys from the Actions Panel menu.
