If the flash file is ready, you can install using Dreamweaver also and if you knwo HTML codes, you can write the code in notepad alsoQuote:

no, not modify it. Let's assume that I get a flash template for free, then I want to implement it on my site.
I know that normal install like installing script is not working.
Honestly, I didn't know and never install any flash template.
But I heard that we should convert something into .fla file using macromedia flash.
So, you need macromedia flash software for sure
Okay, so how do I exactly install flash template to my site?
I don't think I just need to upload the fla files to my site.
I think I need to activate it, but don't know how.
You first have to open this fla file in flash and then going to public settings you got to alter the file extension to swf and save it again and now this swf file can be added into your website by Dreamweaver directlyQuote:

You may then creates a blank html page, and input this swf flash file inside. Then later go for traditional way to host the html file with the flash. It will works fine.Quote:

Actually, without learning Flash, it's really difficult to edit ita nd it's not that easy and its better you learn flash and then go for flash templates editing
Friends, sorry for my ignorance, exactly I wonder what fla files and swf files. I guess files that are created in macromedia flash player or dreamwaver have the extension swf, and the files that are created in flash player is fla files. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
friend, fla files is the project files saved in macromedia flash. With fla files you can edit and add in new action scripts to the flash file, while the swf files is already compiled in executeable file. With swf file, we can't edit it in macromedia flash or dreamweaver. It is only compiled to run on website.Quote:

well , VLC can play flash file like swf, so I think it's normal if VLC can read .fla file too.Quote:

Any file with .fla cannot be played anywhere except Flash and you can edit it by taking the file to Flash and then again save it as .swfQuote:

Friend, now I have got one question. Do you mean we cannot use .fla files in websites?Quote:

Yes, fla extensions cannot be played in websites and to play fla files directly, you need players like VCL and fla files are saved as .swf and then put into websites
