About using components with screens (Flash Professional only)

You can use components with screens to create complex, structured applications in Flash.
Components are especially useful with forms, to create structured applications that show data and
enable nonlinear user interactivity. For example, you can use forms to populate a container
component.
When you use components with screens, you can use the Focus Manager to create custom
navigation between components. The Focus Manager specifies the order in which components
receive focus when a user presses the Tab key to navigate in an application. For example, you can
customize a form application so that a user can press Tab to navigate fields and press Return
(Macintosh) or Enter (Windows) to submit the form.
For information on the Focus Manager, see "Creating custom focus navigation" and
"FocusManager class" in Using Components.
You can also create a tab order using the Accessibility panel. For more information, see
and creating tab order and reading order" on page
Accessibility in the Flash screens authoring environment
(Flash Professional only)
Accessibility support is available for screen-based documents in the Flash authoring environment.
Using keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, users can navigate a document and use interface
elements, including screens, panels, the Property inspector, dialog boxes, the Stage, and objects
on the Stage.
Accessibility support for screen-based documents is similar to support for other documents, with
one exception: when keyboard shortcuts are used to navigate panels (Control+Alt+Tab in
Windows or Command+Option+Tab on the Macintosh), the Screen Outline pane receives
focus the first time the keyboard shortcut is used. (For other documents, the Timeline receives
focus first.)
To cycle through individual screens in the Screen Outline pane, you use the arrow keys.
The Screen Outline pane receives focus only the first time you cycle through the panels. That is, if
you come to the last panel and press the keyboard shortcut again, the Screen Outline pane is
skipped, and the next panel receives focus.
For complete information on accessibility in the Flash authoring environment, see
"Creating Accessible Content," on page
in Flash ActionScript Language Reference.
