Appendix A: Using the CD-ROM


Overview

This appendix provides information on the contents of the CD-ROM that accompanies this book, and the system requirements for using the sample files and trial applications that enhance the text content of the book.

Note 

For the latest version of this appendix, including any late-breaking updates, please refer to the ReadMe file located in the root directory of the CD-ROM.

Caution 

If your CD-ROM is missing from the book when you purchase it, return it to the store where you bought it and get a copy of the book that has a CD-ROM included. If you lose or damage your CD or it gets stolen, your best option is to contact the publisher (Wiley) and tell them your story — they may be able to help you, but there are no guarantees that you'll get a free replacement. The phone and e-mail contact info for Wiley Publishing is provided at the end of this appendix. Please do not contact the authors with your missing CD-ROM stories — although they have been entertaining at times and we would like to help, we just don't happen to have a warehouse full of extra CD-ROM disks!

Here is what you will find on the CD-ROM:

  • System requirements

  • Example .swf and .fla files

  • Reusable ActionScript

  • Tips for installing and using plug-ins and applications

  • A listing of relevant applications and software trials

  • Bonus content from Part X, "Expanding Flash" and two bonus appendixes as PDF files.
