Open the starting file
Now you're ready to create your own version of the tutorial movie.
1 |
Choose File > Open. |
2 |
In the Flash MX application folder, browse to Tutorials/ActionScript/My_Puzzle and open mypuzzle.fla. |
3 |
If you receive a font substitution message, click Use Default. |
You see a partially completed tutorial movie. The movie may look finished because all the symbols are in place on the Stage. However, you'll still need to add quite a few scripts to make the movie interactive. |
|
4 |
Choose File > Save As and save the file with a new and sequential name, such as mypuzzle2.fla, in the same folder as mypuzzle.fla. |
Making a copy of the file allows you or another user to complete the tutorial again using the original mypuzzle.fla file. Additionally, if you regularly save your file with a new and sequential name, you can revert to an earlier file if you make an error that you're not able to resolve in your current file. |
