called at periodic intervals throughout the lifetime of a movie. See the entries for these functions
in the online ActionScript Dictionary in the Help menu.

SWF compression uses existing Z-lib compression code to improve download times for complex
Flash content. See Chapter 20, “Publishing,” on page 365.
Guide to instructional media
The Flash package contains a variety of media to help you learn the program quickly and become
proficient in creating your own Flash movies. These media include a printed manual, an
expanded electronic version of the manual, online help that appears in your Web browser, a
built-in ActionScript Reference panel, interactive lessons, and a regularly updated Web site. In
addition, there are many third-party resources available to Flash designers and developers.
About the printed and electronic manuals
Information that appears in the printed version of Using Flash is primarily intended for users who
are in their first three to six months of learning Flash. Online lessons and tutorials supplement
this information.
The electronic version of Using Flash contains all of the information in the printed version, as well
as additional chapters with instructions and information for using Flash tools and commands. It
also includes chapters on ActionScript, which explain how to write and create interactions with
the Flash scripting language.
Using Flash Help
Flash Help contains two main sections: Using Flash and the ActionScript Dictionary. For the best
experience with Flash Help, Macromedia strongly recommends that you use a browser with Java
player support, such as Internet Explorer 4.5 or later. Flash Help also supports Netscape
Navigator 6.1 or later on Windows and Macintosh. Running Flash and Flash Help
simultaneously on a Macintosh may require up to 32 MB of memory, depending on your
browser’s memory needs.
Note: The first time you access Flash Help when running Windows XP, you may be prompted to install the Java
player. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the Java player.
To use Flash Help:
1 Choose one of the help systems from the Help menu.
2 Navigate the help topics using any of these features:
• Contents organizes information by subject. Click top-level entries to view subtopics.
• Index organizes information like a traditional printed index. Click a term to jump to a
related topic.
