Creating and managing projects (Flash
Professional only)
You use the Flash Project panel to create and manage projects.The panel displays the contents
of a Flash Project in a collapsible tree structure. The panel title bar displays the project name.
If a project file is missing (not in its specified location), a Missing File icon appears next to the
filename. You can search for a missing file or delete the file from the project.
When you publish a project, each FLA file in the project is published with the publish profile
specified for that file. You should specify the publish profiles in the Project Settings dialog box
before you publish a project.
Only one project can be open at one time. If a project is open and you open or create another
project, Flash automatically saves and closes the first file.
