Before you begin, it is important to know the difference between a Flash authoring file (. FLA) and a Shockwave Flash file (.swf). When you start working in Flash, you will work in a document. Fla. However, in order to display your latest work in Flash Player, you will need to "publish" the file as a. swf. (To do this, see step VI of this document). * If you do not have Flash Player installed on your computer, get a free download here: http://www.adobe.com/. Select "Get Adobe Flash Player".
I. TO GET STARTED:
or to start a new Flash file, go to File New > (+ N).
or select the default option "FlashFile (ActionScript 3.0)" and click OK.
or you should now see the instrument panel, timeline and "Stadium".
II. MODIFY THE DOCUMENT:
or to create settings for the new Flash document, go to Edit document > (+ J).
or enter a title and a description (i.e., "My Flash Movie").
or choose a background color for the drop-down box.
and then decide if you want to change the "Frame rate" by default (12 fps). * Note that "fps" stands for "frames per second" so the higher the number, the faster playback speed.
or click OK. You should now see your "stage", reflecting the background color you've chosen.
