folders is as follows:
■ (Windows) C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and
Tutorials\Tutorial_assets\cafe_townsend
■ (Macintosh) /Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/Samples and
Tutorials/Tutorial_assets/cafe_townsend
3. Copy the cafe_townsend folder to your local_sites folder.
Create a new document
Now that you have seen the finished application you will create, it is time
to create your own Flash document.
If you haven’t already set up a working folder, you must do so before you
begin. For instructions, see “Create a working folder” on page 98.
To learn how to create an application in Flash, you’ll start with the very
first step in the process: creating a new file.

Now you’re ready to create your own version of the FMA.
To create a new document:
1. Select File > New.
2. In the New Document dialog box, select Flash Document and then
click OK.
3. Select File > Save.
4. Name the file flash_fma.fla and save the file in the cafe_townsend folder
you copied to the local_sites folder on your hard disk.
