Slide class (Flash Professional only) 717
Description
Property; determines whether child slides of mySlide remain visible when navigating from one
child slide to the next. When this property is
true, the previous slide remains visible when
control passes to its next sibling slide; when this property is
false, the previous slide is invisible
when control passes to its next sibling slide.
Setting this property to
true is useful, for example, when a given slide contains several child
“bullet point” slides that are revealed separately (using transitions, perhaps), but all need to
remain visible as new bullet points appear.
Note: This property applies only to the immediate descendants of mySlide, not to all (nested)
child slides.
Example
The Intro_bullets slide in the following illustration contains three child slides (Finance,
Human_resources, and Operations) that each display a separate bullet point. By setting
Intro_bullets.overlayChildren to true, each bullet slide remains on the Stage as the other
bullet points appear.
