Appendix A. Installation and Help

It's 2:00 a.m., you're this close to finishing your animation, and you run into a snag. If you can't find the answer to your question in the pages of this book, you have plenty of other possibilities. First of all, Flash has its own built-in help system, which may give you the answer you need on the spot. For more complex problems, you can seek technical support from the developer (now Adobe, as mentioned on Section A.3) or from fellow Flash fans via the Web. This appendix outlines all these options.

First, in case you need help getting Flash installed on your computer, some basic instructions follow.

Tip: While the Flash box lists minimum requirements, minimum's the operative word. You'll want at least 20 gigabytes free on your hard disknot just for the program installation, but to give you room to create and store your Flash masterpieces and import additional files (such as previously created images, sound files, and movies) from elsewhere.
