var numLibItems = MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items.length");
var message = numLibItems + " items in library";
MMExecute('fl.trace("' + message + '");');
Save the FLA file in the WindowSWF directory that is located in your Configuration
directory, and then select File > Publish (or save it elsewhere and either publish the SWF
