I am very new to flash and I'm trying to learn how things work so I'm downloading various things and checking them out. Well, I started with the new flex sdk3 from adobe. Then I downloaded some examples. All the examples use ".fla" files but none of the tools in the sdk3 use fla files. The plugin to eclipse doesn't seem to understand what they are and the documentation has only one reference to fla files, saying that the compiler will not generate fla files. Yet, EVERT example I see uses these fla files and have what seem to be very important information in these fla files (information like classes, images, videos, etc). What is going on? I notice on this site too that there are no references to fla files also. My impression is that there is something so propietary about these files that merely mentioned that they exist is an infringement of some copyright law :-)
How can I look at (unarchive) an fla file? How can I create one? Why would I create one - every else is and does and seems to use them to pass information? _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
