Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Workspace
Using the Stage
The Stage is the rectangular area where you place graphic content, including vector art, text boxes,
buttons, imported bitmap graphics or video clips, and so on. The Stage in the Flash authoring
environment represents the rectangular space in the Macromedia Flash Player where your Flash
document is displayed during playback. You can zoom in and out to change the view of the Stage
as you work.
The grid, guides, and rulers help you position content precisely on the Stage. See
“Using the grid,
guides, and rulers” on page 34
.
Zooming
To view the entire Stage on the screen, or to view just a particular area of your drawing at high
magnification, you can change the magnification level. The maximum magnification depends on
the resolution of your monitor and the document size. The minimum value for zooming out on
the Stage is 8%. The maximum value for zooming in on the Stage is 2000%.
To magnify or reduce your view of the Stage, do one of the following:
•
To zoom in on a certain element, select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel and click the
element. To switch the Zoom tool between zooming in or out, use the Enlarge or Reduce
modifiers (in the options area of the Tools panel when the Zoom tool is selected) or Alt-click
(Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh).
•
To zoom in on a specific area of your drawing, drag a rectangular selection marquee with the
Zoom tool. Flash sets the magnification level so that the specified rectangle fills the window.
•
To zoom in on or out of the entire Stage, select View > Zoom In or View > Zoom Out.
•
To zoom in or out by a specified percentage, select View > Magnification and select a
percentage from the submenu, or select a percentage from the Zoom control at the lower left
corner of the application window.
