Authoring projects

Authors on a Flash project do not change the project root, directory structure of the project, or the site. This includes adding, removing, or changing subdirectory names, or adding additional subdirectories to the project on their local computer. If individual authors change the site or project structure, the local files are out of sync with those on the server. This causes problems in the application, such as class path and missing file errors, and so on. Individual authors can copy assets to the subdirectory files that the project’s administrator creates.

• Each author on a Flash project selects File > Open from Site, selects the name of the site, and then selects the project’s FLP file.

• The author updates the project with any missing files. This ensures that the author is working with the latest version of the site.

• When the author selects Yes, all the project files download to the author’s local computer, so the structure on the local computer matches the structure on the server.
