350 Working with Screens (Flash Professional Only)
■ The parameter overlayChildren specifies whether child screens overlay one another on
the parent screen during playback. When
overlayChildren is set to true, child screens
overlay one another. For example, suppose you have two children, Child 1 and Child 2,
which are bullet points on the parent screen. If the user clicks a Next button and displays
Child 1, then clicks Next again and displays Child 2, Child 1 remains visible when Child
2 appears. When
overlayChildren is set to false (the default setting), Child 1 is
removed from the display when Child 2 appears. This parameter affects only the
immediate children of a slide, not nested descendants.
■ The parameter playHidden specifies whether a slide continues to play if it is hidden after
being shown. When
playHidden is set to true (the default setting), the slide continues to
play when the slide is hidden after being shown. When
playHidden is set to false, the
slide stops playing if it is hidden, and resumes playing at Frame 1 if it is shown again.
There is one parameter that is available only to form screens: The parameter
visible
indicates whether a screen is visible or hidden at runtime. When
visible is set to true, the
screen is visible at runtime. When
visible is set to false, the screen is hidden. This
property does not affect the visibility of the screen in the authoring environment.
The following parameters are available for slide and form screens:
■ The parameter autoload indicates whether the content should load automatically (true),
or wait to load until the
Loader.load() method is called (false). The default value is
true. This parameter is inherited from the Loader component.
■ The parameter contentPath is an absolute or relative URL indicating the file to load
when the
Loader.load() method is called. A relative path must point to the SWF file
loading the content. The URL must be in the same subdomain as the URL where the
Flash content currently resides. For use in Flash Player or with the Test Movie command,
all SWF files must be stored in the same folder, and the filenames cannot include folder or
disk drive specifications. The default value is undefined until the load starts. This
parameter is inherited from the Loader component.
To specify parameter settings for a screen:
1. Select a screen in the Screen Outline pane.
2. Select Window > Properties.
3. In the Property inspector, click the Parameters tab.
4. Click the setting for a parameter, and select a setting from the pop-up menu.
