Menu Bar
The Menu Bar is aimed to make easier
the access to different program
features. The main submenus are as
follows:
File: It allows creating, opening and saving archives, etc. Import has exceptional power; it
inserts to the current movie nearly all types of archives (sounds, videos, images and even Flash
movies) or the Publication Settings option from which you can modify the characteristics of the
publications. It also enables to configure the printing pages, print them, etc.
Edit: It is a classic menu that allows you to Cut, Copy and Paste objects or as well images or
frames; it also allows you to customise some of the most common options of the program.
View: Apart from, typical zooms; it allows you to move the frames and scenes. It also includes
the possibility to create a grid and some guides. These ones can be selected from submenu Grid
and Guides from where you can configure its options.
Insert: It permits you to insert objects into the movie, as well as new frames, layers, actions,
scenes, etc.
Modify: This option transform permits one to modify the graphics existing in the movie, and
the option Draw Bitmap allows to modify current graphics in vector maps (this theme will be
studied further). Other options allow you to modify characteristics of the animation elements
Smooth, Optimize or of the same movie (Layer, Scene…).
Text: Its contents affect the edition of text.
Commands: Allows administrating the Commands (group of saved sentences that allows to
emulate what user can introduce to the edition environment) that we had saved in our
animation, to obtain other news from the Macromedia page or execute what we already have.
Control: From here you modify the properties of the movie reproduction Play, Rewind, Test
Movie, etc.
Window: In addition to the classical options of distributing the windows, this menu includes
shortcuts to all the Panels.
Help: From here we can access to all the help that Macromedia offers to us, from the current
manual up to the Action Script, going through tutorials, etc.
