Use this menu to cut, copy, paste and change items that you've selected on Flash's stage.

Undo

Windows: Ctrl+Z

Mac: ⌘-Z

This command undoes the last command you applied. So, if you accidentally deleted a drawing from your stage, the Undo command brings it back like magic. Remember the Undo command for those moments when you smack your forehead and say, "Oh no! Why'd I do that?" For extensive undoing, consider using the History panel: Window → Other Panels → History (Windows: Ctrl+F10; Mac: ⌘-F10).

Repeat/Redo

Windows: Ctrl+Y

Mac: ⌘-Y

Repeats the last command you used. So, if the last thing you did was paste a circle on the stage, Repeat will paste another circle on the stage. If you've just used the Undo command, Redo restores the change. Thus, you can use Undo to step backward through your recent commands and Redo to step forward again.

Cut

Windows: Ctrl+X

Mac: ⌘-X

Removes the selected object from the stage and places a copy of it on the clip-board. Once it's on the clipboard, you can paste it to a new location or a new document.

Copy

Windows: Ctrl+C

Mac: ⌘-C

Makes a copy of any selected objects and places the copy on the clipboard. The original objects remain on the stage. Once you've copied an object or group of objects to the clipboard, you can paste them to a new location or a new document.

Paste in Center

Windows: Ctrl+V

Mac: ⌘-V

Tells Flash to paste the cut (or copied) object right smack in the middle of the Stage's visible area, on top of any other image that happens to be there.
