Slide presentations and form applications (Flash
Professional only)
You can create screen-based documents of two types. The type of document you select
determines the type of default screen in the document.
A Flash Slide Presentation uses the slide screen as the default screen type. A slide screen
has functionality designed for a sequential presentation.
A Flash Form Application uses the form screen as the default screen type. A form screen
has functionality designed for a nonlinear, form-based application.
Although each document has a default screen type, you can include both slide screens and
form screens in any screen-based document. For information on slide and form screens, see
"Slide screens and form screens (Flash Professional only)" on page
Document structure and hierarchy (Flash
Professional only)
Each document has a master screen at the top level. In a Flash Slide Presentation, the top-level
screen is called Presentation by default. In a Flash Form Application, the top-level screen is
called Application by default.
The top-level screen is the container for everything that you add to the document, including
other screens. You can place content on the top-level screen. You cannot delete or move the
top-level screen.
