Downloading and installing Flash elements
To use Flash elements in your web pages, you must first add the elements to Dreamweaver using the Adobe®
Extension Manager. The Extension Manager is a separate application that lets you install and manage extensions in
Adobe applications. Start the Extension Manager from Dreamweaver by selecting Commands > Manage Extensions.
