The tutorial in this chapter follows the order of a typical workflow for
creating a Flash application. Other workflows are also possible.
The tutorial workflow includes the following tasks:
"Examine the completed FLA file" on page 211
the completed Flash document.
"Open the starter document" on page 213
with a FLA file (a Flash file with the .fla extension) that has the
elements to which you'll use Script Assist mode to add ActionScript.
"Add a script to a button by using Script Assist mode" on page 213
shows you how to use Script Assist mode to add a script directly to a
button object on the Stage.
"Add frame scripts to the Timeline by using Script Assist mode"
on page 218 shows you how to use Script Assist mode to place scripts
on a frame in the Timeline that affect buttons on the Stage. Placing
code in a frame on the Timeline instead of placing code directly on
objects on the Stage is a better approach to organizing ActionScript
within your Flash applications.
