Saving JSFL files
You can have JSFL scripts available within the Flash authoring environment by storing them
in one of several folders within the Configuration folder. By default, the Configuration folder
is in the following location:
Windows 2000 or Windows XP:
boot drive\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\
Flash 8\language\Configuration\
Mac OS X:
Macintosh HD/Users/userName/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/
language/Configuration/
To determine the location of the Configuration folder, use
.
fl.configURI
Within the Configuration folder, the following folders can contain scripts that you can access
in the authoring environment: Behaviors, Commands (for scripts that appear on the
Commands menu), Effects (for timeline effects), JavaScript (for scripts used by Script Assist),
Tools (for extensible tools in the Tools panel), and WindowSWF (for panels that appear in the
Windows menu). This document focuses on scripts used for commands, effects, and tools.
If you edit a script in the Commands folder, the new script is immediately available in Flash.
If you edit a script for an effect or extensible tool, you have to close and restart Flash, or else
use the
fl.reloadEffects()
script to add an extensible tool to the Tools panel and you then edit the script, you must
either remove and then add the tool to the Tools panel again, or else close and restart Flash for
the revised tool to be available.
