Title:
Flash website update all files?
I'm currently building a website entirely in Flash (although it is published in Dreamweaver with a few HTML parts). Is there a way of sharing content between Flash files automatically so if I modify the template, all the instances where it appears will be changed too?
P.S. Does AskMeFlash do Adobe Dreamweaver as well? If not, is there a similar website for Dreamweaver?
Thanks

if you have created swf files using flash then you can use the concept of shared library . Shared library is another swf file which contain assets as movieclips which can be loaded to any of your swf files . The assets are loaded using the instance name . So if many of your swf files use some common graphic elements , you can put them into a shared library and this library will be downloaded once in the browser cache and shared by all swf files.

Accepted Answer: Thanks! I've found a tutorial for this. It's for Flash 8 but hopefully should be the same in CS3: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/shared_library.htm
This should be really useful as my website develops.
