Slide class (Flash
Professional only)
The Slide class corresponds to a node in a hierarchical slide presentation. In Flash Professional
8, you can create slide presentations using the Screen Outline pane. For an overview of
working with screens, see Chapter 14, "Working with Screens (Flash Professional Only)," in
Using Flash.
The Slide class extends the Screen class (see "Screen class (Flash Professional only)"
on page 1071), and provides built-in navigation and sequencing capabilities between slides, as
well as the ability to easily attach transitions between slides using behaviors. Slides maintain
"state," so that when a user advances to an adjacent slide, the previous slide is hidden.
Note that you can only navigate to ("stop on") slides that don't contain any child slides ("leaf "
slides). For example, consider the following illustration, which shows the contents of the
Screen Outline pane for a sample slide presentation:
When this presentation starts, it will, by default, "stop" on the slide named Finance, which is
the first slide in the presentation that doesn't contain any child slides.
