Create an instance of a symbol 227
3. From the Library panel (Window > Library), drag map_skewed to the
black background area of the Stage.
Because guides don’t appear when you first drag an object from the
Library panel, you’ll release the object, and then drag it again.
4. Drag the map_skewed movie clip on the Stage again so that the align
guides appear. Use the guides to align the movie clip to the top and left
edges of the GPS screen.
5. With the instance of map_skewed selected on the Stage, type screen_mc
in the Instance Name text box of the Property inspector (Window >
Properties).
Flash is designed to present code hints when you name your instances
with the appropriate suffix:
■ When naming a movie clip instance, always give the instance a
suffix of _mc, as in screen_mc.
■ When naming a button, use the _btn suffix.
■ When naming a text field, use the _txt suffix.
NOTE
If you make an error in placement, either drag the movie clip again, or
press Control+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Macintosh) to undo your
changes.
NOTE
For more information about additional instance name suffixes that prompt
code hints, see “About triggering code hints” in Learning ActionScript 2.0
in Flash.
