Flash Toolbars

Flash Toolbars

The menu bar at the top of the Flash application window displays menus with commands for controlling Flash functionality. The menus include File, Edit, View, Insert, Modify, Text, Commands, Control, Window, and Help.

The edit bar, at the top of the Timeline, contains controls and information for editing scenes and symbols, and for changing the magnification level of the Stage.

The tools in the Tools panel let you draw, paint, select, and modify artwork, as well as change the view of the Stage.

Additional important things to remember about movie clips:

• The tools area contains drawing, painting, and selection tools.

• The view area contains tools for zooming and panning in the application window.

• The colors area contains modifiers for stroke and fill colors.

• The options area displays modifiers for the currently selected tool. Modifiers affect the tool's painting or editing operations.
