Flash 5 has a built-in set of Libraries that include buttons , graphics, Learning Interactions, movie clips, Smart Clips, and sounds (Window > Common Libraries). In addition to these Libraries, you can create your own custom Libraries. If you have a set of graphics that you use all the time, it might be helpful for you to place these in a custom Permanent Library. A custom Permanent Library is added to the list of common Libraries and accessed the same way. It becomes part of your local Flash installation. Creating a custom Permanent Library couldn't be easier. All you have to do is the following:
The next time you select Window > Common Libraries, you'll see your new Library listed. To get rid of a custom Library, browse to the Libraries folder in your application folder and delete the FLA you no longer want to use as a custom Library. Obviously, because custom Libraries are really just Flash files, they can be shared among members of your team. |
