Working Faster

You can quickly access the relevant set of commands for many elements in Director by using a context menu.

To display a context menu:

• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) an object, such as a sprite, or an interface element, such as a Director window (Figure 1.65), to display a context menu containing the most relevant commands.

  Many Director commands have a keyboard equivalent called a keyboard shortcut. To the right of most commands under the main menus, you find the keyboard-shortcut equivalents (Figure 1.66). See the tear-out reference card for a list of keyboard shortcuts.
