Accessibility in the Flash screens authoring environment

Using keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, users can navigate a document and use interface elements,
including screens, panels, the Property inspector, dialog boxes, the Stage, and objects on the Stage.

Accessibility support for screen-based documents is similar to support for other documents, except that when
keyboard shortcuts are used to navigate panels (Control+F6 in Windows or Command+F6 in Mac OS), the Screen
Outline pane receives focus the first time the keyboard shortcut is used. For other documents, the Timeline receives
focus first).

The Screen Outline pane receives focus only the first time you cycle through the panels. That is, if you arrive at the
last panel and press the keyboard shortcut again, the Screen Outline pane is skipped, and the next panel receives
focus.

To cycle through individual screens in the Screen Outline pane, you use the arrow keys.

Adding content to screens

Adding media content to screens

Add media content to the screen that is currently selected in the Screen Outline pane.

Set properties and parameters for a screen

To set properties and parameters for individual screens, use the Property inspector. On the left side of the Property
inspector, you can view the instance name, width, height, and x and y coordinates of a screen.

The instance name is a unique name assigned to a screen, used when you target the screen in ActionScript. Each
screen is assigned a default instance name, based on its default name in the Screen Outline pane. The instance
name and default screen name are also identical to the linkage identifier for the screen. If you update the instance
name, the default screen name and the linkage identifier are also updated.
