Select the target screen in the tree control. Click Relative to use a relative target path, or
Absolute to use an absolute target path, and click OK. (For information on target paths, see

This specifies the event that triggers the behavior—for example, a user clicking a button, a
movie clip loading, or a screen receiving focus. The list of available events depends on the type

Adding transitions to screens using behaviors (Flash Professional only)
Screen transition behaviors let you add animated transitions between screens, fade a screen in or
out, rotate a screen as it appears or disappears, have a screen fly in from the edge of a document,
and create other effects. To add a transition using a behavior, you attach the behavior directly to a
screen.
You can select the direction of a transition: In, which plays the animation as the screen first
appears in the document; or Out, which plays the animation as the screen disappears from the
document. You can also specify the duration in seconds.
Easing options let you modify the transition to achieve different effects. For example, the Bounce
easing option makes the screen appear to bounce as the transition completes.
Some transitions have additional parameters that you can modify. Parameters appear in the
Transitions dialog box when you select the transition.
Follow these guidelines when adding transitions:

•

Select the screen to which you want to apply the behavior.

you select for the transition in the following steps.
