This is something I’ve known about for a while but never really investigated further and therefore have missed a great tool when coding in the Flash environment.
Shortcuts are a real timesaver in any application and Flash Actionscript has no shortage of them. How many times have you ever had to type the stop(); action? Well there is a better way…
Firstly you need to choose to diplay the shortcuts by making sure you have this option selected in the actions panel group menu. See example below.
Then you can go over to the actions toolbox and you see all the shortcut keys available. See example below.
As you’ll see in the Actions tool box you’ll find that you can now quickly do a stop action by hitting the escape key and then typing st or the unload move command by typing esc-um.
Pretty cool hey and will save you heaps of time. Hope you enjoy it.. I know I will.
2 Feb 08 UPDATE: Unfortunately the shortcuts aren’t available if your using AS3.
As an avid Adobe Flash fan I’m always on the lookout for sites where you can learn and talk to others who have the same interests. Well a cool new site from master animator Chis Georgenes from Mudbubble has started a Flash forum at his blog site Keyframer. So no matter if your a Flash guru, designer, or gun actionscript coder… this is the place to make some new friends and learn something new along the way.
