review answers
1 To edit the length of a sound clip, select the keyframe that contains it and click the
Pencil button in the Properties inspector. Then move the time slider in the Edit
Envelope dialog box to clip the sound from the front or from the end.
2 The skin is the combination of functionality and appearance of video controls, such
as Play, Fast Forward, and Pause buttons. You can choose from a wide array of
combinations with the buttons in different positions, and you can customize the skin
with a different color or level of transparency. If you don’t want viewers to be able to
control the video, apply None from the Skin menu.
3 Cue points are special markers that you can add to an external video with Adobe
Media Encoder or in the Cue Points section of the Properties inspector. You can
create event listeners in ActionScript that detect when a cue point is encountered
and respond accordingly, for example, by displaying graphics that are synchronized
with the video.
4 When you embed a video clip, it becomes part of the Flash document and is included
in the Timeline. Because embedded video clips significantly increase the size of the
document and produce audio synchronization issues, it’s best to embed video only if
it is very brief and contains no audio track.
