Flash ActionScript basics: Keeping focus on your script

Flash takes the focus off your current ActionScript whenever you click on a different symbol or frame. You can easily lock the ActionScript frame to keep the focus from changing when working in a project with multiple symbols.

At the bottom of the actions panel there is a tab that indicates where the current ActionScript is being applied.

Directly to the right is the “pin active script” icon:

Activate it and you focus will no longer navigate away from that current script location. This is true even if you click on other objects or frames with embedded script.
