Understanding screen-based documents
and the screen authoring
environment (Flash Professional only)
The authoring environment for screen-based documents provides several ways for you to
work with these documents. The next sections present information on the types of documents
you can create with screens, ways to organize and navigating screens, and ways to use
ActionScript, components, or Flash accessibility features with screens.
Workflow for authoring screen-based documents
(Flash Professional only)
To author a screen-based document, you first create a new Slide Presentation or Form
Application document. Then you add screens, configure the screens and add content, and add
behaviors to create controls and transitions for the screens.
