Test the document

As you author a document, you should save and test it frequently to ensure
the Flash content plays as expected. When you test the SWF file, click
the video control buttons to see if the video stops, plays, and rewinds
as expected.
1.
Save the document (File > Save) and select Control > Test Movie.
The Flash content plays in a SWF file window. Although .fla is the
extension for documents in the authoring environment, .swf is the
extension for tested, exported, and published Flash content.
2.
When you finish viewing the SWF content, close the SWF file window
to return to the authoring environment.
