Flash Tools: Tool Bar

Video Transcript

"And now that we have our time line, our canvas laid out, we want to take a look at the most important tool. Or the most commonly used tool in Flash, which is the most common interface, which is the tool bar. Right here you can see the tool bar. Now you can either dock the tool bar into the entire palate of, of different layers. Or you can click on these arrows and pull, sorry, click and drag right here and pull it out of the, what's called the dock. It's kind of like if you want all of your tools to be, you know, in one place you simply drag it across to the side of the window and it becomes embedded within the dock. If you want to bring it out simply click and drag right above the Flash logo. And you can pull it out. Another nice thing is you see these two arrows right here. Well you can click to make it a double wide as opposed to a single, which obviously we want to do in this case because we have a, a small screen and our tool bar is going off the bottom of the page. So if we double or if we single click on these two arrows we're able to see the entire interface here. So I'm going to put mine back over my dock and you can see it's retained the double wide format. So what we're going to do now is in each of these next videos we're going to go through each one of these tools. So by the end you should have a pretty good understanding."
