Script window overview
The
Script window lets you create external script files that you import
into your application. These scripts can be ActionScript, Flash
Communication, or Flash JavaScript files. The Add (+) menu lists
the language elements available for the type of script you create.
If you have more than one external file open, filenames are displayed
on tabs across the top of the Script window.
In the Script window, you can use the following features: the
Add (+) menu (which is like the Actions toolbox), find and replace,
syntax checking, syntax coloring, auto format, code hinting, code
commenting, code collapse, debug options (ActionScript files only),
and word wrap. The Script window also lets you display line numbers
and hidden characters.
The Script window does not include code-assistance features such
as the Script navigator, Script Assist mode, and behaviors. These
features are useful only in the context of creating a FLA file,
not an external script file.
Create an external file in the Script window
- Select File > New.
- Select the type of external file you want to create (ActionScript
file, ActionScript Communication file, or Flash JavaScript file).
Edit an existing file in the Script window
To open an existing script, select
File > Open, and then open an existing AS file.
To edit a script that is already open, click the document
tab that shows the script’s name.
