Run the completed application
To better understand the type of application you'll create as you work
through this tutorial, you can look at a completed FLA file version of the
application in the Flash authoring tool. FLA files are the type of files you
work on in Flash. You can also play the SWF version of the file in Flash
Player. The SWF version is the version of the file that you would publish in
a web page.
To play the SWF version of the file in Flash Player:
1.
In Flash, select File > Open.
2.
Browse to the completed file using one of the following paths:
Browse to the local_sites\cafe_townsend\completed files\flash
folder that you copied to your local disk in Chapter 4, "Tutorial:
Setting Up Your Site and Project Files" and double-click
flash_fma_finished.swf.
The completed application runs in Flash Player. Click Next to watch
the images of food change with the animation.
