To speed up the document display, use commands in the View menu to turn off rendering-quality features that require extra computing and slow down document display.
None of these commands have any effect on how Flash exports a document. To specify the display quality of Flash documents in a web browser, use the object and embed parameters. The Publish command can do this for you automatically.
Select View > Preview Mode, and select
from the following options:
| Outlines |
Displays only the outlines of the shapes in your scene and causes all lines to appear as thin lines. This makes it easier to reshape your graphic elements and to display complex scenes quickly. |
| Fast |
Turns off anti-aliasing and displays all the colors and line styles of your drawing. |
| Antialias |
Turns on anti-aliasing for lines, shapes, and bitmaps and displays shapes and lines so that their edges appear smoother on the screen. Draws more slowly than the Fast option. Anti-aliasing works best on video cards that provide thousands (16‑bit) or millions (24‑bit) of colors. In 16‑ or 256‑color mode, black lines are smoothed, but colors might look better in Fast mode. |
| Antialias Text |
Smooths the edges of any text. Works best with large font sizes and can be slow with large amounts of text. This is the most common mode in which to work. |
| Full |
Renders all content on the Stage fully. Might slow down display. |
