Applying a theme to a document

To apply a new theme to a document, open a theme FLA as an external library, and drag the theme folder from the external library to the document library. The following steps explain the process in detail.

To apply a theme to a document:

  1. Select File > Open and open the document that uses v2 components in Flash, or select File > New and create a new document that uses v2 components.
  2. Select File > Save and choose a unique name such as ThemeApply.fla.
  3. Select File > Import > Open External Library and select the FLA file of the theme you want to apply to your document.

    If you haven't created a new theme, you can use the Sample theme, located in the Flash 2004/en/Configuration/SampleFLA folder.

  4. In the theme's Library panel, select Flash UI Components 2 > Themes > MMDefault and drag the Assets folder of any component(s) in your document to the ThemeApply.fla library.

    If you're unsure about which components are in the documents, you can drag the entire Themes folder to the Stage. The skins inside the Themes folder in the library are automatically assigned to components in the document.

    Note: The Live Preview of the components on the Stage will not reflect the new theme.

  5. Select Control > Test Movie to see the document with the new theme applied.
