# Exporting from Captivate

From within Captivate, you can select the FLA export option to export a Captivate movie into Flash.

Note: You must save your Captivate movie before exporting. (The easiest method is to click Save on the toolbar.)

#### To export a Captivate movie into Flash:

1. Open Captivate by double-clicking the Captivate icon on the desktop.

2. Open the Captivate movie you want to export.

3. From the File menu, select Export.

4. Select the FLA icon and then click Next.

Macromedia Flash opens and the RD file is exported into an open Flash project.

5. Now you can begin editing your movie.

6. When you are finished, save the new Flash project (FLA file).

Note: The RD file imports into Flash as a movie clip in a new layer. When placed in the new layer, the first screen is blank if the fade-in effect is on.
