Managing media with the library

You can use the sample common libraries included with Flash to add buttons or sounds to your documents. You can also create custom common libraries, which you can then use with any documents that you create.
Use an item from a common library in a document1 Select Window > Common Libraries, and select a library from the submenu.
2 Drag an item from the common library into the library for the current document.
Create a common library for your Flash application1 Create a Flash file with a library containing the symbols that you want to include in the common library.
2 Place the Flash file in the user-level Libraries folder on your hard disk.
