Making A Simple Flash Document - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-GETTING STARTED WITH FLASH Getting Started

8 Introduction
To build a Flash application, you typically perform the following
basic steps:
1.
Decide which basic tasks the application will perform.
2. Create and import media elements, such as images, video, sound, text,
and so on.
3.
Arrange the media elements on the Stage and in the Timeline to define
when and how they appear in your application.
4. Apply special effects to media elements as you see fit.
5. Write ActionScript code to control how the media elements behave,
including how the elements respond to user interactions.
6.
Test your application to determine if it is working as planned and find
any bugs in its construction. Test your application throughout the
creation process.
7.
Publish your FLA file as a SWF file that can be displayed in a web page
and played back with Flash Player.
Depending on your project and your working style, you may use these
steps in a different order. As you become familiar with Flash and its
workflows, you will discover a style of working that suits you best.
