1 Using Code Snippets and Navigating the Flash Timeline

The project for this lesson has not changed in any significant way when using Flash CS5.5. What has significantly improved is the Code Snippets panel. Adobe has made some enhancements to the way the panel works and has greatly increased the number and types of code snippets that ship with the program.

Following the steps found in the book for using the Code Snippets panel will still work in Flash CS5.5, but there is a new and alternate technique for adding code snippets that you could use as a substitute for steps 1–6 that begin on page 18. Following these steps will introduce you to some of the new features in the Code Snippets panel in Flash CS5.5.
