Flash glossary: Workspace
You create and manipulate your documents and files in Adobe Flash Professional using various user interface elements, such as panels, bars, and windows. Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace.
The workspaces of the Adobe Creative Suite applications share a similar user interface design so that you can move between them easily. You can also adapt each application to the way you work by selecting from several preset workspaces or by creating your own.
- The Application bar across the top contains a workspace switcher, menus (Windows only), and other application controls.
- The Tools panel contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork, page elements, and so on. Related tools are grouped together.
- The Property inspector displays options for the currently selected element or tool.
- The Stage displays the file you are working on and displays the objects that are placed on the keyframe that corresponds to the location of the playhead.
- Panels help you monitor and modify your work. Examples of panels in Flash include the Timeline, Actions panel, and Library. Panels can be grouped, stacked, or docked. The icon located in the top-right corner of panels allows you to access the panel's options menu.
To learn more about using the Flash workspace, watch the video titled Exploring the Flash interface and see the section titled Workspace overview in the Flash documentation.
