Select And Move Slides; Add Content To A New Slide; Add Transition Behaviors - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-LEARNING FLASH Manual

Select and move slides

You can copy, cut, paste, and drag screens in the Screen Outline pane to change their order in the
presentation. You'll select three screens, cut them, and paste them so that they're nested as
children of the features slide.
In the Screen Outline pane, select the performance slide. Press Shift and click the safety and
1.
handling slides to add them to the selection.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the selected slides and select Cut from the
2.
context menu.
In the Screen Outline pane, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the features
3.
slide and select Paste Nested Screen from the context menu.
The three slides now appear as children of the features slide.

Add content to a new slide

The features slide, as a child of the presentation slide, inherits properties from that slide.
Additionally, because the features slide is a parent to the three slides that you copied and pasted,
content that you add to that slide appears on the three children slides.
In the Screen Outline pane, select the features thumbnail. From the Library panel, drag the
1.
Features Content symbol to anywhere in the Document window.
In the Property inspector, give the instance of Features Content an instance name of
2.
features_mc.
In the Property inspector, enter -275 in the X text box and -130 in the Y text box to place
3.
the instance.

Add transition behaviors

Although your presentation is fairly complete, you'll add transition behaviors to make the
presentation more interesting. Specifically, you'll add behaviors that make content fade and
appear to fly off the Document window.
In the Screen Outline pane, select the features slide. In the Behaviors panel, click the Add (+)
1.
button and select Screen > Transition from the menu.
In the Transitions dialog box, select Fade from the list of transitions and view the preview in the
2.
lower left side of the dialog box. Verify that 2 seconds is selected as the duration and that In is
selected as the direction, and click OK.
In the Behaviors panel, click Reveal in the Event column to open the pop-up menu and select
3.
revealChild. The revealChild option specifies that the behavior will reveal the next child screen.
