Preview the file in the Flash Player window

To test the button navigation that you created, you can preview your document in a Flash Playback window that opens directly in FreeHand. The Movie Settings dialog box lets you specify how you want the Flash movie to play.

1

If the Controller is not visible, choose Window > Toolbars > Controller.

2

Click the Movie Settings button on the Controller.

3

In the Frames section, select From and verify that 1 appears in the From text box. Type 2 in the To text box.

4

In the Animation pop-up menu, select None, then click OK.

5

In the Controller, click the Test Movie button.

FreeHand creates a temporary SWF of your document. Page 1 appears in a Flash Playback window, similar to how it will appear if you export the file as a SWF using the current movie settings.

6

Move the pointer to the Next button. The pointer changes to a pointing finger, which indicates the button is navigable. Click the button to go to page 2 of your document.

7

Click the Back button to return to the first page.
