Saving & Using Your Own Movie

Saving

Saving your movie is very simple. Simply select your SWF settings, click "save as", and choose a filename. If you have selected "export HTML" you can also choose a filename for your html file.

Before you save your SWF animation, you should preview it, using the preview button.

Deploying

SWfX includes over 250 installed effects: 87 Flash 3 effects (non-highlighted) and 164 Flash 4 only (highlighted) effects. Macromedia Flash 4.0 can not import Flash 4 specific SWFs into the program, only Flash 3 compatible SWFs. This is an issue with Macromedia Flash 4.

You can import the Flash 3 effects created by SWfX directly into Macromedia Flash. However, to use the Flash 4 only output in your own movies, you should use the "Load Movie" ActionScript command. For more information on Load Movie check out our load movie tutorials at:

You can also check out sample .FLAs with basic commands to load and control a separate swf:

We have also posted Load Movie "Smart Clips" which can be used to automate the Load Movie action in Flash 5. They are available at:
