password in the Password text box. If you add a password, others must enter the password before

Using ActionScript in Flash.

Lower image quality produces smaller files; higher image quality produces larger files. Try

Compression, Bit Rate, and Quality in the Sound Settings dialog box. Click OK when you

To save the settings with the current file, click OK.
Setting the classpath
To use an ActionScript class that you've defined, Flash must locate the external ActionScript 2.0
files that contain the class definition. The list of folders in which Flash searches for class
definitions is called the classpath. Classpaths exist at the global/application level and at the
document level. For more information about classpaths, see "Understanding the classpath" in
Using ActionScript in Flash.
