Lecture 7 - Menu explanation
1. File Menu (File Menu)

1. New: produces a new stage.
2. Open: fetches file to stage.
3. Open as Library: in Flash you can share Library in other files. When you select *.fla file in dialog box, Library box will appear onto the stage. You can make an insertion of Library by dragging one to the present stage.
What you must pat attention to is that if the name of Library to be fetched and that of the present Library on the stage are same, you will find it difficult to distinguish one from the other for a copy file is produced, so, always take care not to make duplicated names when you open any Library.
4. Close: closes the present file at work, Save means saving, and Save As means saving in other name.
5. Revert: restores to the latest saving status.
6. Import: brings on the present stage picture file, Swf file, or work file made in other application program. You can bring all files with serial number in one stage.
7. Publish Settings: publishes Flash movie in Html, Mov, Gif, Jpg, or Exe file. This function varies much according to detailed option. I will explain in the relevant dialog box.

You can learn Formats and Flash option at a glance.

It is HTML that matters.
Setting Template in Default value will cause no problem.
Designate horizontal and vertical Percent by 100% in Dimensions to fill the screen.

You can set popup menu turning up on the right click of mouse in Display Menu. Loop function repeats Flash movie.

Spoid tool is used when you extract information such as color, gradation effect, font or font size to apply to other object. When you click the line with spoid, the shape of toolbar will be automatically changed to Ink Toolbar in which you can change the line color.
I do not use Eraser tool much. I am not telling that it is useless, but I find it much convenient for me to use Del key to erase the parts I selected.
There is detailed option, of course, but using option tool you can erase any part without a bit of problem.
Hand shape tool is used to move the location of stage. I hardly put this tool to frequent use.
Holding down spacebar and dragging with mouse, you can move it wherever you want.
Double click on magnifier will make 100% automatically. Make the best use of this. Show All and Show Frame in Toolbar tool will make your work more enjoyable.

Especially those who want to view their work result in window full screen are required to reduce their work to 25% and magnify moving animation form at the end of the screen. Just skip this part if you fail to understand this time. You will have another chance to master this function.
There are two formats in gradient, one is Linear and the other, Radial, in which you can draw a sphere. The rest are same as before. We will review Line option again.

Line thickness indicates the thickness of line. You can create your own line thickness by writing numbers in Custom.
Line style represents the shape of line. One thing I feel regretful about this is that you cannot select various kinds of line shape for the lack of pattern form as supported in illustration.

But you can easily fetch bundle especially requiring pattern from illustration work.

Now push the button on the right to type in text.

Then you will see option. There are buttons for font change, font size, font color, thick, Italic style, font arrangement, and blank setting, and at the bottom lies the button for constructing shopping mall or dialog room by using parameter through inputting dialog text box
If you want to install a font, copy it to Windows/Fonts directory and reboot to retrieve your font.

You will instantly get to know that the next button is for drawing circle and rectangle.
There are buttons for Line color and Fill color for circle and rectangle, and the other options are same as before. I wish you practiced much on drawing 3D shape, using gradation.
At the bottom of rectangular tool comes Round Rectangle Radius, which you push in order to turn up a round cornered rectangle. Putting this button will turn up a round cornered rectangle, the value of which radius is given by the number in the dialog box. It is also called rounding treatment in CAD or other program.
