About the Actions Panel

You use the Actions panel to create ActionScript in a Flash document (a FLA file). The
Actions panel consists of three panes, each of which supports you in creating and managing scripts.

Actions toolbox Use the Actions toolbox to browse a categorical list of ActionScript language elements (functions, classes, types, and so on) and then insert them into the Script pane. You can insert a script element into the Script pane either by double-clicking or dragging it directly into the Script pane. You can also add language elements to your scripts by using the Add (+) button on the Actions panel toolbar Script navigator The Script navigator displays a hierarchical list of Flash elements (movie clips, frames, and buttons) that contain scripts. Use the Script navigator to move quickly between all the scripts in your Flash document. If you click an item in the Script navigator, the script associated with that item appears in the Script pane and the playhead moves to that position on the timeline. If you doubleclick an item in the Script navigator, the script gets pinned (locked in place).
