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 when creating Flash documents. The Stage in the
Flash authoring environment represents the rectangular space in
Macromedia Flash Player or in a web browser window where your Flash
document appears 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. For more information, see
on page
69.
Zooming
To view the entire Stage on the screen, or to view 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%.
