Customizing your slide presentation
If you want to change the colors in the template, select Modify > Movie, and change the
background color. The presentation background changes to the newly selected color.
Additionally, many templates come with alternate backgrounds. Show and hide the additional
background layers to expose alternate designs.
You can match the background to your company's color scheme, or you can select something
bright and eye-catching to capture your audience's attention.
Using the screen presentation templates (Flash Professional only)
The screen presentation templates included with Flash MX Professional 2004 use screens to
make it easy for you to create a professional-looking slide presentation. You can add new slides to
the outline and place text, graphics, imported media, and components on those slides to add
to content.
After adding slides, you can use the Behaviors panel to add transitions between slides. Flash
provides some sample slides with transitions to help you get started.
After you've customized your presentation, preview it by selecting Control > Test Movie from the
application menu.
Slides have built-in navigation. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard or the navigation buttons
that are part of the template's design to move forward and backward through your presentation.
