Using document tabs for multiple documents (Windows only)

When you open multiple documents in Windows, tabs at the top of the Document window
identify the open documents and let you easily navigate among them. Tabs appear only when
documents are maximized in the Document window.
To make a document active, you click its tab. By default, tabs appear in the order in which the
documents were created. You cannot drag tabs to change their order.
To view a document when multiple documents are open:
•
Click the document tab.

Saving Flash documents

You can save a Flash FLA document using its current name and location or save the document
using a different name or location. You can revert to the last saved version of a document. You can
also save Flash MX 2004 content as a Flash MX document.
When a document contains unsaved changes, an asterisk (*) appears after the document name in
the document title bar, the application title bar, and the document tab (Windows only). When
you save the document, the asterisk is removed.
You can save a document as a template, which lets you use the document as the starting point for
a new Flash document (this is similar to how you would use templates in word-processing or web
page–editing applications). For information on using templates to create new documents, see
"Creating or opening a document and setting properties" on page
When you save a document using the Save command, Flash performs a quick save, which
appends new information to the existing file. When you save using the Save As command, Flash
arranges the new information into the file, creating a smaller file on disk.
If you quit Flash while one or more documents with unsaved changes are open, Flash prompts
you to save the document or documents with the changes.
When you delete items from a document by undoing commands, you can permanently remove
the items from the document and reduce the document file size, using the
File > Save and Compact command. See
