drawing preferences.
Bitmaps on Clipboard (Windows only) Places a bitmapped
version of your drawing on the Clipboard, in addition to the
standard Windows Metafile information, when you choose Edit >
Copy. This is useful when pasting information into an
application that works best with bitmapped drawings. You can
choose a bitmapped format and resolution, as well as enable
anti-aliasing.
Size limit (Windows only) Limits the amount of RAM that
is used when putting a bitmapped image on the Clipboard. Increase
this value when working with large or high-resolution bitmapped
images. If your computer has limited memory, choose None.
Gradients on Clipboard Controls the quality of gradient
fills placed in the Windows Metafile that is generated each time
you copy elements to the Clipboard. Because of limitations of the
Windows Metafile format, generating these gradients can be slow.
If you are only pasting back into Flash, choose None to speed
copying. Flash always keeps the full gradient quality with its
native Clipboard data.
Printing Options (Windows only) Disables PostScript
output when printing to a PostScript printer. By default, this box
is not checked. Select it only if you have problems printing to a
PostScript printer. Printing to a PostScript printer can be much
slower when Flash's PostScript is disabled.
PICT Settings for Clipboard (Macintosh only) Controls
the type of PICT information that is generated when you use Edit
> Copy. Choose Object to keep your drawing information in a
vector format or choose one of the various bitmap formats. These
options are similar to the options available with the PICT Export
dialog box. The default is Objects at a resolution of 300 dpi with
PostScript Included.
Gradients (Macintosh only) Controls the quality of
gradients placed in the PICT that is generated each time you copy
elements to the Clipboard. Because of limitations of the PICT
format, generating these gradients can be slow. If you are only
pasting back into Flash, choose None to speed copying. Flash
always keeps the full gradient quality with it's native Clipboard
data.
Undo Levels Sets the number of undo/redo levels (up to
200). Undo levels require memory; the more undo levels you use,
the more system memory is taken up. Setting a large number of
levels of undo can increase the amount of memory Flash requires.
Shift Select Controls how Flash handles selection of
multiple elements. With Shift Select off, clicking additional
elements adds them to the current selection. With Shift Select on,
clicking additional element deselects other elements unless you
hold down the Shift key.
Show Tooltips Displays Tooltips when the pointer pauses
over a window emblem. Deselect this option if you don't want to
see the Tooltips.
Disable Timeline Docking Keeps the Timeline from
attaching itself to the application window once its been separated
into its own window. See also Using
the Timeline.
