i have download a flash templates.. and have edit the fla files with flash mx 2004 ..but how to make it work .. how to make the fla files change to be swf file or its gotta other way to work ?

You may export it as .swf, .exe or html file. Menu File->Export (or maybe Publish) ... Smth like that

andrew_johns is right, but even me after I do that I have flash editor and it still won't work after I do that, please send me a private message if you know what I might be doing wrong. I am trying to learn flash on my own but it isn't really working out, tutorials are useless. Can anyone explain to make a flash .swf file in Notepad?
