You can also create a motion guide layer to control the movement of objects in a motion tweened
animation. See “Tweening motion along a path” on page 176.
Note: Dragging a normal layer onto a guide layer converts the guide layer to a motion guide layer. To prevent
accidentally converting a guide layer, place all guide layers at the bottom of the layer order.
To designate a layer as a guide layer:
Select the layer and right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and select Guide from
the context menu. Select Guide again to change the layer back to a normal layer.
Previewing and testing movies
As you create a movie, you’ll need to play it back to preview animation and test interactive
controls. You can preview and test movies within the Flash authoring environment, in a separate
test window in Flash, or in a Web browser.
Previewing movies in the authoring environment
To preview movies, you use commands in the Control menu, buttons on the Controller, or
keyboard commands.
To preview the current scene, do one of the following:
• Choose Control > Play.
• Choose Window > Toolbars > Controller (Windows) or Window > Controller (Macintosh)
and click Play.
• Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh). The animation sequence plays at the frame rate
you specified for the document.
• To step through the frames of the animation, use the Step Forward and Step Backward buttons
on the Controller, or choose those commands from the Control menu. You can also press the <
and > keys on the keyboard.
• To jump to the first or last frame in a movie using the Controller, use the First Frame or Last
Frame button.
Note: You can also drag the playhead to view frames in a document. See “Moving the playhead” on page 29.
You can modify movie playback using commands in the Control menu. When using the
following commands, you must also choose Control > Play to preview the movie.
To play the movie in a continuous loop:
Choose Control > Loop Playback.
To play all the scenes in a movie:
Choose Control > Play All Scenes.
To play a movie without sound:
Choose Control > Mute Sounds.
To enable frame actions or button actions:
Choose Control > Enable Simple Frame Actions or Enable Simple Buttons.
Previewing movies with the Test Movie command
Although Flash can play movies in the authoring environment, many animation and interactive
functions cannot work unless the document is exported to its final Flash movie format. Using
commands in the Control menu, you can export the current document as a Flash movie and
immediately play it using the Test Movie command. The exported movie uses the options set in
the Publish Settings dialog box. You can also use the Test Movie command to test downloading
performance. See “Testing movie download performance” under Help > Using Flash.
