To create a frame label or comment:

1 Select a frame.

2 If the Property inspector is not visible, choose Window > Properties.
3 In the Property inspector, enter the frame label or comment in the Frame Label text box. To make the text a comment, enter two slashes (//) at the beginning of each line of the text. Using named anchors

Named anchors simplify navigation in Flash movies by letting viewers use the Forward and Back buttons in a browser to jump from frame to frame or scene to scene. Named anchor keyframes are indicated in the Timeline by an anchor icon. If you prefer to have Flash automatically make the first keyframe of each scene a named anchor, see “Setting preferences in Flash” on page 22.
A named anchor keyframe in Scene 1

To take advantage of named anchor keyframes in your final Flash movie, select the Flash w/
Named Anchors option in the Template pop-up menu on the HTML tab of the Publish Settings
dialog box. For more information on the Publish Settings dialog box, see “Choosing publish
settings Flash movie format” on page 370.

To use Flash movies with named anchors, you must be running Flash Player 6 on your browser.
Note: If you save a document with named anchor keyframes as a Flash 5 document, the named anchor keyframes
are converted to regular labeled frames.

To make a selected keyframe a named anchor:

1 If the Property inspector is not visible, choose Window > Properties.
2 Type a name for the keyframe in the text box in the Property inspector.
3 Select the Named Anchor option.

To make a named anchor keyframe to a regular keyframe:
1 Select the named anchor keyframe in the Timeline.
2 Deselect the Named Anchor option in the Property inspector.
Using layers

Layers are like transparent sheets of acetate stacked on top of each other. Layers help you organize
the artwork in your document. You can draw and edit objects on one layer without affecting objects
on another layer. Where there is nothing on a layer, you can see through it to the layers below.
To draw, paint, or otherwise modify a layer or folder, you select the layer to make it active. A
pencil icon next to a layer or folder name indicates that the layer or folder is active. Only one layer
can be active at a time (although more than one layer can be selected at a time).
