How to Compile a Flash Movie
Flash files are usually worked on as FLA files. However, most websites and computers can't play FLA files directly, and no plugin exists to help. Therefore, Adobe Flash offers users the ability to compile and publish these FLA files into a variety of different formats, enabling you to create a version of the file that is acceptable for almost any media situation you will encounter.
