About scripting with Flash SWF files
With Flash, you can create SWF movies that contain JavaScript code. These movies can be used
as Fireworks commands, accessible from the Commands menu in Fireworks.
You can even create a SWF movie and use it as a Fireworks panel, accessible from the Window
menu. The Align panel in Fireworks is an example of a Flash movie imported as a panel.
SWF movies that are used as commands are stored in the Commands folder on your hard disk,
and SWF movies that are used as panels are stored in the Command Panels folder.
Note: The exact location of these folders varies from system to system and depends on whether you
want the command or panel to be available just to your user profile or to all users. Commands and
Command Panels folders are located in the Configuration folder in the Fireworks application folder
and also in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For more information, see
with configuration files" on page
For more detailed instructions about creating commands or panels from Flash SWF movies, see
Extending Fireworks.
