Using panels and the Property inspector
Flash offers many ways to customize the workspace to your needs. Using
panels and the Property inspector, you can view, organize, and change
media and other assets and their attributes. You can show, hide, and resize
panels. You can also group panels together and save custom panel sets to
make the workspace match your personal preferences. The Property
inspector changes to reflect the tool or asset you are working with, giving
you quick access to frequently used features.
About the Property inspector
The Property inspector simplifies document creation by making it easy to
access the most commonly used attributes of the current selection, either
on the Stage or in the Timeline. You can make changes to the object or
document attributes in the Property inspector without accessing the menus
or panels that also control these attributes.
