     What do you have to be careful about if you use SkinUnder___.swf?

Question: How many Keyframes does the Flash application have at
          this point?  (When you have finished the tasks up through
                        page 191 of Chapter 07 of Lowery book).
IMPORTING IMAGES

Position and Size for the imported IMG_01.jpg.

The book gives one method for positioning the image, by using
   the Property Inspector.  
      What is another approach that could be used, one that has been
      demonstrated several times class or in the lab?

What is the keyboard shortcut for seeing the Library contents?

WORKING WITH THE TIMELINE

   Default frame rate is 24 fps = 24 frames per second.

   Modify menu > Document shows that fps is 
                          a property of the Flash .fla document.

What is the keyboard shortcut for Modify > Convert to Symbol?

What are the 3 type choices for the Type: of Symbol in Flash?

How many choices are there for the Registration when you are using
    the Modify menu > Convert to Symbol command?

Insert menu > Motion Tween is only one type of Tween available 
                           on the Insert menu for Flash CS 4.

       What are the other two choices for Tweens?

  The following is quoted from page 197 of the Lowery textbook:

  #9. "In the timeline, select the Image 2 layer and place your
       cursor on frame 20.  Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac)
       and choose Insert Keyframe."

  What other command would achieve exactly the same result in this
  particular situation?  You will see this command on the RMB popup 
  menu, aka the RMB context-sensitive menu.

       Hint: Look very carefully at the exact output you see as a
             result of doing the above Insert Keyframe command.
             Then look at the RMB popup menu choices again.

             Ctrl-Z to undo so you can try it again and verify
             by experimental results that your answer is correct.

  Why is X set to 80 for the 2nd image, but 
      its set to 0 for the 1st image?

  Page 198 "When you're working with keyframes, motion tweens are 
            only initially applied to the keyframe itself."

           Therefore, its different this time dragging the motion 
           tween to extend it.  You must drag it from the keyframe
           it begins at: #20 --- to frame #60.

  Strange issue with Flash CS 4 - cannot set the Alpha of image 2
  in frame 60 to an even number, i.e. to 10%.  So we set it to 11%.

  See page 200 #13.  (A slight issue with Flash prevents you ... 
                      ... users won't be able to tell the difference.)

  Page 201 - File View Control Debug are the 4 menus 
                                       on the Test Movie window.

             Ctrl + Enter is the shortcut for Flash's 
                          Control menu > Test Movie command
