How do I change .fla to .swf?

[HappyCustomer]

I think those are the right letters.

You start with an editting .fla, when you save, a twin .swf is made.
:.fla is for editting, .swf is for viewing.

Whilst working on the Fla. hit Ctrl+Enter. I think there are other ways you can use that allow you to cange some settings.

I'm saving but it's not making a .swf, at all.

It's not supposed to do this automatically. Jareddeitch apparantly doesn't know what he's talking about.
If you press control-enter, the fla is compiled to an swf, and this is viewed, but also saved in the same directory as the fla.
You can also use publish from the file menu.

Thank you trambamboline and gamesquid, I didn't know you had to ctrl+enter to make it a .swa. Thanks a lot.

Whoops, sorry, haven't used flash in a while :P

Or control-alt-p if you're working with a project.
