Find the Flash Movie

Right now, we need to get the complete file name of the Flash movie, including the path to the file.

Back in Step 2, you had created a folder and copied your Flash file to that folder.

  1. Using My Computer, locate the folder containing the Flash movie file. The extension SWF on the end of the file name, indicates to your computer that this is a Flash movie.
    • The term path, with reference to a file name, means the complete folder structure that contains the file, as well as the file name.

  2. Note - DO NOT click on the movie file in the list of file names. That will cause the movie to open, which is not what we are interested in. We only need to know the file name and its location right now.
