Adding screens to a document (Flash Professional only)

You can add a new screen at the same level as the currently selected screen. The new screen is a sibling screen of the selected screen. You can also add a nested screen one level below the currently selected screen. You can add a screen of the default screen type or select a screen type when you add a screen. You can view all screens in a document in the Screen Outline pane. See Using the Screen Outline pane (Flash Professional only).

When you add screens to a document, Flash exhibits certain default behaviors:

By default, Flash uses the screen type of the document (slide type for a Slide Presentation or form type for a Form Application) for the new screen. You can choose to insert a screen of another type, using the Insert Screen Type command in the screens context menu.
Flash inserts the first screen you add directly after the top-level screen, one level below it.
Flash inserts a new screen after the currently selected screen, at the same level. If the document contains nested screens below the currently selected screen, the new screen is added after the nested screens, at the same level as the selected screen.
Flash inserts a new nested screen directly after the currently selected screen, and nested one level down. If the document already contains a nested screen or screens below the currently selected screen, the new screen is inserted after all nested screens already in place, one level below the selected screen.

You can also use a template to add a new screen or a series of screens. Flash MX Professional 2004 includes screen templates in various categories.
