ActionScript to control screens. For more information, see "Screen class (Flash Professional
only)", "Form class (Flash Professional only)", and "Slide class (Flash Professional only)", in Using
Components.
Slide screens let you create Flash documents with sequential content, such as a slide show. The
default runtime behavior lets users navigate sequentially through slide screens, using the left and
right arrow keys. Sequential screens can overlay one another so that the previous screen remains
visible when the next slide is viewed. Screens can continue playing after they are hidden. Use slide
screens when you want the visibility of each screen to be managed automatically.
Form screens let you create structured form-based applications, such as online registration or
e-commerce forms. Form screens are simple containers that you use to structure a form-based
application. By default, to create the navigation structure with form screens, you must
write ActionScript. Use form screens when you want to manage the visibility of individual
screens yourself.
