Hi - i have bought a XML Template (with source code) that also includes Flash docs.
Any 'Macromedia Flash Pro 8' users pls. tell me how to edit a sample Flash doc. see image
Any other appropriate tools advise also welcome.
I simply want to make 'Welcome' section bigger (highlighted in light blue box). The light blue box does'nt give me any option to make it bigger ?
If you want to resize that movieclip on the stage , you can either use the free transform tool from the flash ide, which looks like a dot connected rectangle with an arrow overlayed on it , or you can use the direct selection tool , the black arrow in the flash ide to select the movieclip , and then manaually enter a new height and width from the properties dialog. Assuming the clip has a instance name , you could target it with actionscript and size it at run time using the .width and .height properties of the stage object. With all that said , I would be surprised if just resizing the movieclip does what you think its going to. More realistically , expect to go into the code and reposition all of its internal elements to the new width and height.

Thank you Sir. I'll give it a try. Once i've changed the FLA, i would then have to re-generate corresponding SWF file for it. B'coz this is the file that gets loaded in webHost. How do i generate SWF file ?
In the flash ide , go to file -> publish settings and make sure flash(.swf) is checked. Close that dialog then do either shift + 12 to publish your project , or do cntrl ( command ) + enter to export just the .swf file.
