Add controls to screens using behaviors

To add a control to a screen using a behavior, attach the behavior to a trigger—a button, movie clip, or screen—and target the screen to affect with the behavior. Select the event that triggers the behavior.

To control slide screens, add the following behaviors: Go to First Slide, Go to Last Slide, Go to Next Slide, Go to Previous Slide, and Go to Slide (specify slide name).

Note: Go to Next Slide and Go to Previous Slide move to screens on the same level, not to parents or children.

To control slide or form screens, add the following behaviors: Show a Specified Screen (if the screen was previously hidden) or Hide a Specified Screen (if the screen was previously shown).

  1. Select the button, movie clip, or screen that you want to trigger the behavior.
  2. In the Behaviors panel, click the Add (+) button.
  3. Select Screen, and select the desired control behavior from the submenu.
  4. If the behavior requires that you select a target screen, the Select Screen dialog box appears. Select the target screen in the tree control. Click Relative to use a relative target path, or Absolute to use an absolute target path, and click OK.
    Note: Some behaviors select a target screen by default; for example, the Go to First Slide screen automatically targets the first screen. These behaviors do not show the Select Screen dialog box.
  5. In the Event column, click in the row for the new behavior and select an event from the list. This specifies the event that triggers the behavior—for example, a user clicking a button, a movie clip loading, or a screen receiving focus. The list of available events depends on the type of object you use to trigger the behavior.
