Working with common libraries

You can use the sample common libraries included with Flash to add buttons or sounds to your documents. You can also create your own common libraries, which you can then use with any documents that you create.

To use an item from a common library in a document:

  1. Select Window > Other Panels > Common Libraries, and select a library from the submenu.
  2. Drag an item from the common library into the library for the current document.

To create a common library for your Flash application:

  1. Create a Flash file with a library containing the symbols that you want to include in the permanent library.
  2. Place the Flash file in the Libraries folder located in the Flash application folder on your hard disk.
