Just a question on targeting SWF’s, if i have some SWF’s that are kept in the same folder on the hard disc,do i have to import them into the libary to load them, or can i target them another way? i.e from the folder were they are…Thanks for your time

yes you can load them from the directory, they dont need to be imported into the library first.
