A SWF file (that with a swf extension) is a compiled, viewable only, flash file. You would use this format by way of means of presenting through the web. You can export this file along with the HTML file in Flash MX if you have the .fla file. By placing the .swf files and .html files in the root directory of your server, it will become your website!

A FLA file (that with a .fla extension) is the source, or editable version of the flash template. From here you can modify your template and produce FLA files for presentation via the web. With the FLA file, you can export the SWF files.

First you should start by identifying the place on the Timeline that you wish to “goto” when a user presses the Skip Intro button. Then add a button somewhere on the stage. Then, select the new button and open the Actions panel. After that, add a gotoAndPlay() function call within the on(release) button event. Pass the frame number (or scene) you would like the movie to jump to. Alternatively, check out this URL:

Yes. Please following these steps to change it:
1. Open the library (press f11).
2. Find the background graphic (the file name varies, depending on the
different template)
3. Double click that graphic file, in the timeline click each key frame and
replace the background picture to whatever you want (import another
background picture).

Press Ctrl+L on your keyboard to open the Library dialog box. In the Library, select the bitmap you would like to change. Double-click the small icon next to the bitmap name. This will bring up the Bitmap Properties dialog box. Click the Import button and select your picture(*.jpg). Click OK to import the file.

Open the library (press f11)
- Find the background sound file (the file name varies in different templates).
- Delete the file (however be sure to write down the file name).
- Import another audio file (e.g. MP3 file).
- Rename the new file to the former one.

It is usually far easier to locate the content by opening the library window
(F11 or Window Library) and selecting each item until you find the content
needed, double click on the icon associated to the left and Flash will kindly
bring up the element for you to edit.

Simply select the text that you wish to change using the pointer tool and
double click on the text area in order to change the text. Here you can alter
the text size and font as well using the properties window (Ctrl+F3). We also highly recommend the find and replace function.
