Edit Flash elements

You edit Flash element attributes using the Tag and Property inspectors.

The Tag inspector and the Property inspector both allow you to view and edit a Flash component’s attributes. The Tag inspector enables you to view and edit customizable attributes (parameters) associated with a given component. The Property inspector lets you modify the height, width, and SRC attributes of a Flash element, as well as a way to preview the Flash element in Design view.

  1. Do one of the following in the Document window:

    • In Design view, select the Flash element.

    • In Code view, click anywhere in a Flash component’s name or in its contents.

  2. If it is not already displayed, open the Tag inspector (Window > Tag inspector).
  3. Edit the Flash element attributes using the Tag inspector and the Property inspector.

    • Type a new value for the attribute in the attribute-value column, to the right of the attribute name.

    • To change an attribute value, select the value and edit it.

    • To add a value for an attribute with no value, click in the attribute-value column to the right of the attribute and add a value (see the next procedure).

    • If the attribute takes a URL value, enter the URL.

    • If the attribute takes pre-defined values, select a value from the pop‑up menu (or the color picker) to the right of the attribute-value column.

    • If the attribute takes a value from a source of dynamic content (such as a database), click the Dynamic Data button to the right of the attribute-value column. Then select a source.

  4. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh), or click elsewhere in the Tag inspector, to update the tag in your document.
