Test the movie

At any point during authoring, you can test how your movie will play as a SWF file.

1 | Save your movie and choose Control > Test Movie.
| Flash exports a SWF copy of your movie.
| In the SWF movie, the animation automatically plays in a continuous loop.
2 | When you finish viewing the movie, close the SWF file by clicking its close box. In your Flash document, choose Edit > Edit Document or click Scene 1 to return to the main Timeline.
