Great bodies of work ”art, music, literature, drama, and so on ”are not created in a bubble. It's impossible to accomplish creative goals without some kind of outside input, and creating in Flash is certainly no exception. Up to this point in the book, you have read, studied, and practiced many different aspects of creative work you can do with Flash. Sometimes, however, it's important to step away and consider the bigger picture. Flash is an excellent and versatile application, yes. But it cannot do it all.
Depending on your creative goals, it's likely that you won't be able to do everything you want to do or dream of doing in Flash alone.

Not only can you bring your Flash creations into other authoring environments, but you can bring many foreign file types and media into Flash.
