FLASH: dissecting fla files

[Helen Triolo]

Does anyone have any good suggestions or utilities to use to document

the contents of a fla file?  I spent a couple hours yesterday going over

the very clever but very complicated listbox example from Pipey's site,

looking at (and documenting) the base objects first and working up to

the highest level objects (lots of mc's inside other mc's, etc).  The

file is organized beautifully, with objects in appropriate folders and

lots of empty frames so labels show up clearly, and yet I had a hard

time gathering all the info into a logical collection.  I'm not

complaining about the time spent (as a programmer, I actually like

digging around in someone else's code, especially when it's so well

done)--just wondered if there are any tried-n-true ways people have

found to organize/document flash projects that involve a lot of

actionscript.


Thanks for any ideas,

Helen
