There are numerous ActionScript-based sample files available that install with Flash. These sample files show you how code works in a FLA file; this is often a useful learning tool. The chapters in this manual often reference these files, but we recommend that you also check out the sample files folder on your hard disk.

The sample files include application FLA files that use common Flash functionality installed with Flash. These applications were designed to introduce new Flash developers to the capabilities of Flash applications, as well as show advanced developers how Flash features work in context.

For samples of ActionScript-focused sample source files, see the Flash Samples page at www.adobe.com/go/learn_fl_samples. Download and decompress the Samples zip file and navigate to the ActionScript2.0 folder to access the samples. For components-focused sample files, navigate to the ComponentsAS2 folder.
