Understanding screen-based documents and the screen
authoring environment (Flash Professional only)
The authoring environment for screen-based documents provides several ways for you to work
with these documents. The next sections present information on the types of documents you can
create with screens, ways to organize and navigating screens, and ways to use ActionScript,
components, or Flash accessibility features with screens.
Workflow for authoring screen-based documents (Flash Professional only)
To author a screen-based document, you first create a new Slide Presentation or Form Application
document. Then you add screens, configure the screens and add content, and add behaviors to
create controls and transitions for the screens.
