Updating imported files in the Library panel

If you use an external editor to modify files that you have imported into Flash, such as bitmaps or sound files, you can update the files in Flash without reimporting them. You can also update symbols that you have imported from external Flash documents. Updating an imported file replaces its contents with the contents of the external file.

To update an imported file:

Select the imported file in the Library panel and choose Update from the Library options menu.
