Finding and replacing
About Find and Replace
The Find and Replace feature lets you do the following:
- Search for a text string, a font, a color, a symbol, a sound file, a video file, or an imported bitmap file.
- Replace the specified element with another element of the same type. Different options are available in the Find and Replace dialog box depending on the type of specified element.
- Find and replace elements in the current document or the current scene.
- Search for the next occurrence or all occurrences of an element, and replace the current occurrence or all occurrences.
Note: In a screen-based document, you can find and replace elements in the current document or the current screen, but you can’t use scenes.
The Live Edit option lets you edit the specified element directly on the Stage. If you use Live Edit when searching for a symbol, Flash opens the symbol in edit-in-place mode.
The Find and Replace Log at the bottom of the Find and Replace dialog box shows the location, name, and type of the elements for which you are searching.
