MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-GETTING STARTED WITH FLASH Getting Started page 53

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 on the Stage 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 upper-right corner of
the Timeline.
To scale the Stage so it fits completely in the application window, select
View > Magnification > Fit in Window.
To display the contents of the current frame, select View >
Magnification > Show All, or select Show All from the Zoom control at
the upper-right side of the application window. If the scene is empty,
the entire Stage appears.
To display the entire Stage, select View > Magnification > Show Frame
or select Show Frame from the Zoom control at the upper-right corner
of the Timeline.
To display the workspace surrounding the Stage, select View > Work
Area. The work area is shown in light gray. Use the Work Area
command to view elements in a scene that are partly or completely
outside of the Stage area. For example, to have a bird fly into a frame,
you would initially position the bird outside of the Stage in the work
area and then animate it into the Stage area.
