Is it possible to edit the defaults when opening up a new document, for example framerate, scene size and background color. Also interested in knowing if it is possible to make rulers and grid default.

In Flash 8 you would bring up the document properties by pressing Ctrl+J and there is a button there that says “Make Default” I can’t tell you if it’s the same for CS3 since I don’t have it, but I wouldn’t expect them to change that.

Thanks a lot mate, it worked fine.

Follow up question: Is it possible to make rulers default? I love them 😛
