Creating controls and transitions for screens with behaviors
(Flash Professional only)
You can create controls and transitions for screens using behaviors. Controls enable the flow
between screens—for example, you can go to another screen, hide a screen, or show a screen.
Transitions create visual animations that play as the Flash document display changes from one
screen to another.
Behaviors are built-in ActionScript scripts that you add to an object, such as a screen, to control
that object. Behaviors lets you add the power, control, and flexibility of ActionScript coding to
your document without having to create the ActionScript code yourself. Behaviors are available
for a variety of objects in Flash, including movie clips, text fields, and video and sound files.
Adding controls to screens using behaviors (Flash Professional only)
To add a control to a screen using a behavior, you attach the behavior to a trigger—a button,
movie clip, or screen—and target the screen that you want to affect by the behavior. You can
select the event that triggers the behavior.
You can add the following behaviors to control slide screens: Go to First Slide, Go to Last Slide,
Go to Next Slide, Go to Previous Slide, and Go to Slide (specify slide name).
Note: Go to Next Slide and Go to Previous Slide move to screens on the same level, not to parents or
children. For an explanation of parents and children, see
Professional only)" on page
You can add the following behaviors to control slide or form screens: Show a Specified Screen
(if the screen has previously been hidden) or Hide a Specified Screen (if the screen has previously
been shown).

Select the button, movie clip, or screen to trigger the behavior.
