1.6. The Flash 8 Test Drive

For the tutorials in this section, you need a Flash animation to practice on. There's one ready and waiting for you on the "Missing CD" page of the Missing Manuals Web site.

Tip: Much of the time, you'll be working with files that already existeither because you've created them yourself or because you want to incorporate into your Flash animation picture, sound, or movie files you've found on the Web. To avoid the agony of downloading a file and not being able to find it later, create a folder called, say, Downloads in the My Documents (Windows) or Home Documents (Mac) folder and keep them there. You can even set your Web browsers Preferences to stash all downloads in that folder automatically.
