Finding handlers and text in scripts
The Find command in the Edit menu is useful for finding handlers and for finding and editing
text and handlers.
To find handlers in scripts:

The Find Handler dialog box appears.
The leftmost column in the Find Handler dialog box displays the name of each handler in the
movie. The middle column displays the number of the cast member associated with the
handler’s script. The rightmost column lists the cast that the cast member is in.
2 Select the handler that you want to find.
3 Click Find.
The handler appears in the Script window.
The title bar at the top of the Script window indicates the script’s type.
To find text in scripts:
1 Make the Script window active.
2 Select Edit > Find > Text.

search purposes.

To start the search over from the beginning after the search reaches the end:
• Select the Wrap-Around option.
