Setting Flash Properties

There are two kinds of Flash properties: object and frame (layer) properties.

Flash Object Properties

To add intelligence to objects for Flash, select the objects and use the Object Properties dialog box. The following properties can be set:

Field

Value

URL

Web address. See URL Property.

Target

HTML frame to open the URL in: "_blank" (new window), "_parent" (window which spawned the current window), "_self" (current window), "_top" (full body of current window), or a frame name.

Play

Set to "True" to play the animation.

Stop

Set to "True" to stop the animation.

OverColor

Highlight color during mouse over, as "R#G#B#." For example, enter "R255G0B0" for red.

DownColor

Color during mouse press, as "R#G#B#." For example, enter "R255G0B0" for red.

AsAnimation

Set to "True" to have Flash perform a blend animation.

Hide

Set to "True" to hide the blend at the end or until visible.

Sound

Path and name of a sound file. Example:

C:\sounds\mysound.wav


Flash Frame Property

There is only one frame property: Static. This keeps the frame visible after it appears in an animation. To set the frame property, right-click the layer tab at the bottom of the drawing area, then click Static.
