Using Preview Mode

Preview mode lets you use Frame Editor to view an action set on an object. This prevents you from having to build movie output just to see how an action looks when it is executed. In other words, if you set a shape to turn green when it is clicked, you can use the Preview mode to see that action as soon as you set it up, without ever leaving the Frame Editor.

How to Use the Preview Mode Feature

1. Open a movie that has an object to which an action has been applied.

2. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

   • Ribbon Select Home> .
   • Right-Click Right-click anywhere in the Frame Editor, and from the context menu, select Preview Mode.
3. In the Frame Editor, perform the event that causes the action to take place (e.g., click on the object, double-click the object, move the mouse over the object).
