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
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.
Screens are similar to nested movie clips in some ways: Child screens inherit the behavior of their
parents, and you use target paths in ActionScript to send messages from one screen to another.
However, screens do not appear in the library, and you cannot create multiple instances of a
screen. For information on using ActionScript with screens, see
screens (Flash Professional only)" on page
