Export
When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents.
Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio,
animation, and complex interactivity.
If you want to export the InDesign document directly to a format that can be opened directly in a web browser, use the SWF format instead of FLA.
