Changing document properties 31
Around the Stage you see a variety of panels. The panel on the left is called
the Tools panel (see the following figure). This panel includes tools you can
use to create and modify documents, such as tools you use to draw and
make selections.
Use the Tools panel to draw and make selections. You use the Selection tool (the
black arrow) to make selections in these tutorials.
A panel near the bottom of the Flash application is titled Properties. (Select
Window > Properties > Properties if you don't see the panel.) This panel is
called the Property inspector (see the following figure). This panel lets you
change various properties of whatever is currently selected in your
document (such as an image or a frame), or set properties for the entire
SWF file (such as the frame rate or dimensions). For information on
controlling the frame rate of a document, see “Change the frames per
second speed” on page 159.
