Sample implementations
Several sample JSFL implementations are included with Flash 8. You can review and install
these files to familiarize yourself with the JavaScript API. The samples are installed in a folder
named Samples/ExtendingFlash within the folder in which you installed Flash. For example,
if you installed Flash using the default setting, the samples are placed in the following
location:
■ In Windows: boot drive\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and
Tutorials\Samples\ExtendingFlash
■ On the Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia/Flash 8/Samples and
Tutorials/Samples/ExtendingFlash
Sample Shape command
A sample JavaScript API script named Shape.jsfl is located in the ExtendingFlash/Shape folder
(see “Sample implementations” above). This script displays information about the contours of
the shape in the Output panel.
To install and run the Shape script:
1. Copy the Shape.jsfl file to the Configuration/Commands folder (see “Saving JSFL files”
on page 7).
2. In a Flash document (FLA file), select a shape object.
3. Select Commands > Shape to run the script.
