Undo, redo, and history
Undo, Redo, and Repeat commands
To undo or redo actions on individual objects, or all objects within the current document, specify either object-level
or document-level Undo and Redo commands (Edit > Undo or Edit Redo). The default behavior is document-level
Undo and Redo.
You cannot undo some actions when using object-level Undo. Among these are entering and exiting Edit mode;
selecting, editing, and moving library items; and creating, deleting, and moving scenes.
To remove deleted items from a document after using the Undo command, use the Save And Compact command.
To reapply a step to the same object or to a different object, use the Repeat command. For example, if you move a
shape named shape_A, select Edit > Repeat to move the shape again, or 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. Select the number of undo and redo
levels, from 2 to 9999, in Flash Preferences.
