Using ActionScript with screens

Screens, Slides, and Forms are not available in Flash CS3. They are available if you open an existing project file created in Flash 8, but you cannot create a new Screen, Slide, or Form application in Flash CS3, in either ActionScript 2.0 or ActionScript 3.0.

To control screens in a document, use ActionScript to insert, remove, rename, or change the order of screens, and perform other operations.

ActionScript uses the screen instance name, class name, and registration point when controlling screens. For more information, see Screen instance names, class names, and registration points. ActionScript also uses the screen parameters. For more information, see "Setting parameters for a screen" in Using Flash.

NOTE

Screens and movie clips interact with ActionScript in similar ways, but with some important differences. For more information, see How screens interact with ActionScript.

For more information, see "Screen class", "Form class", and "Slide class", in the ActionScript 2.0 Components Language Reference.
