| 1 | In Flash, Choose File > Open, and then open the Tutorial Start.fla file. |
| 2 | Choose File > Save As and save the movie with a new file name so that you do not alter the Tutorial Start.fla file. |
| If you, or another user, want to use the tutorial again, it's important to keep the original Tutorial Start.fla file. | |
| 3 | Tutorial Start should open with the Library window displayed. If the Library window isn't open, choose Window > Library to open it. |
| Tutorial Start has no content in the main Timeline, but the Library window contains basic artwork you could have created with the skills you acquired doing the Flash lessons.
