Setting properties and parameters for a screen
(Flash Professional only)
You use the Property inspector to set properties and parameters for individual screens. On the left
side of the Property inspector, you can view the instance name, width, height, and x and y
coordinates of a screen:
•
The instance name is a unique name assigned to a screen, used when you target the screen in
ActionScript. Each screen is assigned a default instance name, based on its default name in the
Screen Outline pane. The instance name and default screen name are also identical to the
linkage identifier for the screen. If you update the instance name, the default screen name and
the linkage identifier are also updated.
•
Width and height are specified in pixels. The values in the W and H fields are read-only.
Width and height are determined by the screen contents. You can use the Auto Snap option to
make sure the registration point stays in the same relative position when the screen width and
height change. For more information, see

The x and y coordinates of a screen are specified in pixels. You can move a child screen on the
