A Movie is a sequence of Scenes. A Movie contains all the Scenes, objects, Effects, Events, and Actions that comprise the final animation.
Properties of a Movie (including size, Frame Rate and background color) can be edited on the Movie Panel.
A new Movie can be created by pressing the 'New' button on the Standard Toolbar, or by selecting New from the File Menu. Scenes can be added to a Movie by pressing the 'Insert Scene' button on the Insert Toolbar, or by selecting Scene from the Insert Menu.
Movies can be saved to disk (as a .swi file) by pressing the 'Save' button on the Standard Toolbar, or by selecting Save from the File Menu. Existing Movies can be read from disk by pressing the 'Open' button on the Standard Toolbar, or by selecting Open from the File Menu.
Movies can be exported to the Shockwave Flash format (.swf) or Video format (.avi) by pressing the 'Export to SWF' or 'Export to AVI' buttons on the Export Toolbar, or by selecting Export from the File Menu. You can also export to projector (.exe) by selecting 'In Player' from the Test sub-menu of the File Menu, then using File | Create Projector in the Flash Player.
Note: SWiSH v2 cannot read or write .fla files because .fla is a proprietary format owned by Macromedia
