SlideShowPro for Flash and SlideShowPro ThumbGrid install some handy JSFL scripts to the "Commands" menu of the Flash IDE that aid with a number of repetitive tasks, including adding the component to the Stage, adjusting dimensions, and importing / exporting component parameters. We'll walk through each of these commands in alphabetical order.
This script adds SlideShowPro Flash to the Stage of your FLA. Select it from the Commands menu, and the component will be added to your Stage and aligned to the top-left corner. SlideShowPro will automatically receive an instance name of "my_ssp".
SlideShowPro for Flash comes with a pair of component parameter export / import scripts that allow you to migrate the settings of one component instance to another. This comes in especially handy when upgrading from an older version of the component to a newer one. See the Updating chapter for instructions on how to use them.
Another common task is exporting a SWF that contains nothing but SlideShowPro in it. To save you the time and hassle of modifying the width, height and position of the component instance after changing your Stage size (through the Properties panel), this script changes the dimensions of your component instance so they're the same as the Stage and aligns it to to the top-left corner.
This script is nearly the same as "Fit SSP to Stage" except it uses the Stage as the target dimension for your component instance.
This script adds SlideShowPro ThumbGrid to the Stage of your FLA. Select it from the Commands menu, and the component will be added to your Stage and aligned to the top-left corner. ThumbGrid will automatically receive an instance name of "my_tg".
If you have specific image dimensions you need to use with ThumbGrid (version 1), this script helps create a layout using those dimensions. Select the script from the Commands menu, and follow the prompts by entering your target image dimensions, plus values for spacing, padding, columns and rows. When complete your ThumbGrid instance will resize with your custom settings.
