Re: FLASH: Mac and file types

[Michael Penne]

In your file exchange control panel, set flash as the handler for files

with an .fla extension.


This works fine for me with both unixen and pc files (can double click

or open from flash normally), though for some reason I can't get it to

put the flash icon on the file...(it does put the proper icon on .swfs,

though).
