Sorry if this post is in the wrong forum. I’m trying to learn more about flash, and have found a couple of useful sites. However, I’m having trouble working out how to use their source files, and wondered if anyone here might be able to help please. For example: This page: [http://www.everydayflash.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/16/five3d-first-impressions/](http://www.everydayflash.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/16/five3d-first-impressions/) I can’t work out how to compile it - I know I need the Five3D files ([http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/](http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/)), but even when I download that, and then create a .fla file in the same directory, nothing happens. I am probably missing something very obvious, but I can’t work out what to do. Same here on this page: [http://pixelwelders.com/blog/actionscript-3/2008/five3d-textcloud-as3-tutorial-and-source/](http://pixelwelders.com/blog/actionscript-3/2008/five3d-textcloud-as3-tutorial-and-source/) Even with the Five3D and TweenLite files in place, I can’t work out what to do. On files I have downloaded (e.g. from [http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/gallery/fluo/](http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/gallery/fluo/) There is a .fla file, but there is NOTHING in there that links to the .as file - there is no ActionScript at all I can see if the FLA file, that links to the .as file. Any advice / help much appreciated. Thanks
