After this we had to do the drawing lessons in the program for to get familiar with the tools.
Last part of the week was to create our own fla files.

How to save:

When you are done with the picture you can save as .fla file on any place you like. A .fla file can always be opened in Flash and you can work on it and change it if you want to do.

Flash will automatically generate a .swf file, when you choose Control/Test Movie. The .swf file is what is used to display your movie on the Web.
