Spunky, as dduran has shown - plenty of help is already available at TG.
As dduran has shown, a simple keyword search (in this case, flash + HTML) of the forums will often bring you an answer to the same FAQ's.
Ok sledger, I will try to utilize the search button more.
Problem regarding that thread though. I did what it said. But, I ran into a problem before that it seems. Cuz it didn't work. But I realized the flash in general doesn't seem to work. Like if I preview it in Xara it works just fine (or at least the flash does..not the GIF animation..), but if I double click the .swf file in the folder it doesnt do anything, just appears how it was last saved..Including showing any images I had off the white area (that slid into the white area for movement). Thing is though, I had previously created this same anumation..but forgot to actually save it and I only exported it. But it had worked no problem then..I think even the GIF animation preview worked..but the .swf file in my folder definetly worked cuz I was still able to show it to my friend. But now, I dont know what I did wrong..or different..I created it..made sure each picture was named so they could be tweened..and then exported as a .swf..right? Thats all there is to it? I just don't understand why the .swf file isn't working.
Spunky,
While I cannot be certain, I suspect that what you have done is saved your file as a static SWF. What this means is you have only saved the individual graphics and not the animation. If I am correct, you went to File|Export and selected SWF as a file type. What you should have done was go to File|Export Animation and selected Animated Flash (.swf) as your file type. While I hope that I am wrong (because you will have to start over from scratch if not), I don't think that I am.
I suppose you could look on the bright side and say that you have learned a valuable lesson about saving your work (.xar) files.

I'm never wrong. I thought I was wrong once but it turns out that I was mistaken.

As Eric says, always - ALWAYS - ALWAYS save the .xar files otherwise you have to start again every time you decide to make a change etc.

Ok, thank you thank you thank you Eric! I dont know why the first time I made the animation I would have selected "Export Animation" but not this time. But oh well now I know for sure, thank you!!
Yea ss-kalm, I had learned the hard way, fortunately it was a very simple animation and hadn't required much effort to make it.
