View document properties

The Property inspector lets you view specifications for selected objects. The specifications depend on the type of object selected. If you select a text object, for example, settings to view and modify text attributes appear.

1 | If the Property inspector isn't open, choose Window > Properties.
2 | On the Stage, scroll down if necessary and select the rectangular block where descriptive text appeared in the finished SWF file. The text does not appear in the FLA file because it loads from an external TXT file into a dynamic text field.
| In the Property inspector, you can view the size, style, and color of the text, among other attributes.
| If the Property inspector is not fully expanded, click the white triangle in the lower right corner.
3 | On the Stage, select the car.
| Movie clip settings replace the text settings. Movie clips are symbols with their own independent Timelines. You can think of them as movies within movies.
