Creating a new screen-based document (Flash Professional only)

You can create a new screen-based document using one of two screen types:

A Flash Slide Presentation uses the slide screen as the default screen type.
A Flash Form Application uses the form screen as the default screen type.

For more information, see Slide screens and form screens (Flash Professional only).

When you create a new screen-based document, it contains a top-level container screen and a single screen of the default type. Keep in mind that a screen-based document can be published only Flash Player 6 format or later, with ActionScript 2.0. You cannot save a screen-based document in any earlier Flash Player format.
