Flash uses built-in keyboard shortcuts
designed specifically for Flash. A complete list of the keyboard
shortcuts is available in the back of this book. The built-in keyboard
shortcuts are organized into sets, which you can duplicate and customize
to create your own personalized set. If you use other programs, such as
Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, and you are more comfortable
using their keyboard shortcuts for common commands, you can select a
built-in keyboard shortcut set from any of the graphics programs to use
in Flash.
