How do you change where the files go when you publish them. The default is just c\
macromedia\flash5. I want to make it like c\ animations of something like that
Thanks

Inside Flash, goto; File/Save file As
A box will come up, and you can then choose where to save it or to make a new folder at your whim.

yup… it saves the published swf in the same folder as the fla is saved in. If the fla is not saved, it defaults to the Flash directory.

Interestingly enough… if you save something in your Flash directory, that FLA will show up in “common libraries” in your
“window” menu options.
