Use the Navigation panel

Use the Navigation panel to create or edit Flash actions associated with FreeHand objects.

When you play the resulting Flash movie, you can print by clicking on the screen of the handheld organizer.

2	Click the Event pop-up menu and select On (Over).
	In the resulting Flash movie, the handheld organizer will now respond to the mouse pointer when it moves over the screen.

3	In the Tools panel, select the Pointer tool.
4	Click the screen object on page 2 to select it.
5	Click the Action pop-up menu and select Go To and Stop.
	An action proton appears at the lower right corner of the screen object.
