To create a template file, you can either modify the template files, or create your own class template. To change the default class templates, open
the Panel Preferences and browse to the correct template file. Flash Professional then uses this template file for all your projects.
The Project Properties dialog contains a similar tab that allows you to set template files on a per-project basis.
The templates specified in the Panel Preferences are only used when creating new projects. To change a template path for a project, set it in the
Project Properties. Template paths in the Project Properties and Panel Preferences must be absolute paths. Relative paths are not supported.
Compiling FLA files
To test, publish or export a project FLA file, right-click (Windows) or command-click (Macintosh) on any FLA file in the project tree and select
the appropriate action from the context menu.
To test a project, click the Test Project button.
Flash compiles the FLA file specified as the project default document and opens the resulting SWF file. You can change the default
document at any time by right-clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Macintosh) on any FLA file and choosing Make Default Document
from the context menu.
The Project panel allows you to create a publish list. This is a list of FLA files that can be batch-compiled at any time.
To add or remove files from the publish list, select the checkbox to the right of each FLA file in the project list.
To publish the files in the publish list, click Publish Project in the Project panel Options menu.
If one of the FLA files has errors when compiling, the Project panel stops compiling the list and displays the error in the Output panel.
