To move a child screen on the Stage:

for slide screens), deselect the option.
2. Select the screen's parent in the Screen Outline pane, and select the child screen on the
Stage.
3. Select Window > Properties.

Specifying the ActionScript class and registration
point of a screen (Flash Professional only)
You can specify the ActionScript class of the screen and its registration point on the Properties
tab of the Property inspector:
The ActionScript class specifies what class to which the screen belongs. The class
determines what methods and properties are available for the screen. By default, slide
screens are assigned to the
mx.screens.Form
The registration point grid indicates the position of the screen registration point in
relation to its content. By default, the registration point of a slide screen is in the center
and Auto Snap is on. The registration point of a form screen is in the upper left corner and
Auto Snap is off by default. You can change the registration point using the grid. You can
use the Auto Snap option to keep the registration point in the same position in relation to
screen contents, even when you add, remove, or reposition the screen contents.
Remember that the height and width of a screen are determined by its content. Therefore, the
center of a screen cannot be the center of the Stage.
If you have changed the coordinate grid setting in the Info panel in another Flash
document, the coordinate grid for the screen registration point can reflect that change.
To check the Info panel coordinate grid setting, open a Flash document (a non-screen-
based document) or select something on the Stage that is not a screen, and select
Window > Design Panels > Info. To change settings in the Info panel while working in a
screen-based document, deselect all screens before you open the panel.
