Open the starting file

Now you're ready to create your own version of the tutorial movie.

1 | Choose File > Open.
2 | In the Flash MX application folder, browse to Tutorials/ActionScript/My_Puzzle and open mypuzzle.fla.
3 | If you receive a font substitution message, click Use Default.
| You see a partially completed tutorial movie. The movie may look finished because all the symbols are in place on the Stage. However, you'll still need to add quite a few scripts to make the movie interactive.
4 | Choose File > Save As and save the file with a new and sequential name, such as mypuzzle2.fla, in the same folder as mypuzzle.fla.
| Making a copy of the file allows you or another user to complete the tutorial again using the original mypuzzle.fla file. Additionally, if you regularly save your file with a new and sequential name, you can revert to an earlier file if you make an error that you're not able to resolve in your current file.
