Hi all,

Im quite new to flash so please bear with me if this is noob.

Im reading as many tutorials etc as possible, and this seems like a good forum to park my bum 🙂

Once i save swf files to create the different sections of my website, how do i edit them if i want to change somthing.

Do i have to save it as a .fla first and then just edit that?

Its a bit confusing
