Hello again

Sorry, that I create this topic right after another with Keyboard Shortcuts, but I thought that it would be best to separate them.

I am using Flash 8, and was never been able to find out, how to create hotkeys for following 2 features in Flash:


1) Lets say I go inside a symbol, and another symbol and the current status is; Scene1 > Symbol1 > Symbol 2. How can I, with a press of one keyboard button, go one step back?

I use a shortcut "Edit in Place" alot, so if I am in Scene1 > Symbol1 > Symbol 2, I want to be able to press one keyboard button to go back to Scene1 > Symbol1 and again, so I end up in Scene1 (main timeline)


2) When I am working with textures and surfaces of objects, I often change brush modes between Normal and Paint Selection. The annoying part is, that I have to mouse click Brush Mode dropdown button and then click on needed brush mode once again. In Flash MX I could press on the drop down button and with mousebutton still down, I could drag over a brush mode and release a mousebutton to select it.

In Flash8 you have to click 2 times now, which is ridiculous. (In my case, very annoying since I have an old hand injury, means the more I click, the more my hand suffers). It would be lovely if you could make a hotkey for each brush mode and swap that. For instance Ctrl + Alt + N (Paint Normal), Ctrl + Alt + S (Paint Selection). But how?



Are there any extensions of other ways, to make this possible? That would save tons of time! And my hand ;)
