You can access documentation at the LiveDocs website, in addition to accessing it from the Help panel. The LiveDocs website contains all of the Flash Help pages and might contain comments that clarify, update, or correct parts of the documentation. Click View Comments on LiveDocs at the bottom of a page in the Help panel to display the equivalent page on the LiveDocs website. Go to http://livedocs.macromedia.com to see a list of all of the available documentation in the LiveDocs format.

Technical writers monitor the LiveDocs website. One of the advantages of LiveDocs is seeing comments that clarify the documentation or correct any errata or issues that arise after a software release. LiveDocs is not the place to make help requests, such as asking questions about your code that doesn't work, comment on problems with software or installation, or ask how to create something with Flash. It is the correct place to provide feedback about the documentation (for example, you notice a sentence or paragraph that could be clarified).

When you click the button to add a comment on LiveDocs, there are several points about the kinds of comments that are acceptable on the system. Please read these guidelines closely, or your comment might be removed from the website.

If you have a question about Flash, please ask it on the Adobe web forums: www.adobe.com/support/forums/. The web forums are the best place to ask questions, because there are many Adobe employees, Team Adobe volunteers, Adobe user group managers and members, and even technical writers who monitor these forums.

Engineers do not monitor the LiveDocs system but do monitor the Flash wish list. If you think you have found a bug in the software, or you would like to request an enhancement to Flash, please fill out the wishform at www.adobe.com/go/wish. If you report your bug or enhancement request on LiveDocs, it will not be officially added to the bug database. You must use the wishform instead, if you want an engineer to see your bug or request.

Remember to be careful about special characters and line breaks when you paste from the web, including LiveDocs. Adobe has made every effort to remove all special characters from code samples, but if you have problems pasting code, see Copy and paste code.
