Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the
selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it.

Note: If the FLA file or SWF file is locked, check out the file in Dreamweaver.

3

In Flash, edit the FLA file. The Flash Document window indicates that you are modifying the file from within
Dreamweaver.

4

When you finish making edits, click Done.

Flash updates the FLA file, re-exports it as a SWF file, closes, and then returns the focus to the Dreamweaver
document.

Note: To update the SWF file and keep Flash open, in Flash select File > Update for Dreamweaver.

To view the updated file in the document, click Play in the Dreamweaver Property inspector or press F12 to preview
your page in a browser window.

About Adobe Bridge

Dreamweaver provides seamless integration with Adobe Bridge, the cross-platform file browser included with Adobe
Creative Suite 5 components. Adobe Bridge helps you locate, organize, and browse the assets you need to create print,
web, video, and mobile content. You can start Adobe Bridge from any Creative Suitecomponent (except Acrobat 9), and
use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset types.

From Adobe Bridge, you can:

• Preview, search, sort, and process files without opening individual Creative Suite applications. You can also edit

metadata for files and use Adobe Bridge to place files into your documents, projects, or compositions.

• Import and edit photos from a digital camera card, group related photos into stacks, and open and edit Camera Raw

files without starting Photoshop.

• Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.

• Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.

Start Adobe Bridge from Dreamweaver

You can start Adobe Bridge from Dreamweaver to view your files before placing them or dragging them in your page
layout.

You can start Adobe Bridge in several different ways:

• Select File > Browse In Bridge.

• Click the Browse In Bridge button in the Standard toolbar.

• Press the Browse In Bridge shortcut from the keyboard: Control+Alt+O (Windows) or Command+Option+O

(Macintosh).

Adobe Bridge opens in File Browser mode, showing the contents of the last-opened folder in Dreamweaver. If Adobe
Bridge was already open, it becomes the active window.
