About using the Movie Explorer with
screens (Flash Professional only)
You can use the Movie Explorer to view and organize the contents of a document containing
screens. The Movie Explorer handles documents that contain screens much as it handles those
that do not contain screens, with the following exceptions:
The Movie Explorer shows the contents of the current screen (the screen selected in the
Screens Outline pane) only.
You cannot view scenes in the Movie Explorer because a document with screens cannot
contain scenes.

About using Timelines with screens
(Flash Professional only)
Each screen has its own Timeline. The Timeline is collapsed by default. You must expand it to
work with frames or layers.
You cannot view or modify the main Timeline of a screen-based document.
You can add frames, keyframes, and layers, and manipulate content on a screen's Timeline.
For information on working with the Timeline, see
In the Timeline, nested screens work much as nested movie clips do, with some exceptions.
For more information, see
on page
359.
About using ActionScript with screens
(Flash Professional only)
You can use ActionScript to control screens in a document. You can insert, remove, rename,
or change the order of screens, and perform other operations.
ActionScript uses the screen instance name, class name, and registration point when
controlling screens. For more information, see
