Adobe Animate "collect for output"

[simonb61272824]

Apologies for the noob question, but extensive googling hasn't helped on this. I've been asked to hand over an Adobe Animate job to a colleague in another country so they can localise it. My file has the suffix .fla. Is there an equivalent to InDesign's "collect" function that will gather up all the image assets in the Library or is it sufficient to simply hand over the .fla file?

In other words does the .fla file contain everything it needs to run?

Thanks for any advice!

the fla is everything neeed UNLESS you are loading local assets like bitmaps, videos and sounds.  in that case, send the loaded assets too.

Thanks for that. If I want to send what you're calling the "loaded assets" as well, is there an automated way to do that or do they have to be gathered manually?

[kglad]

you gather manually.  

typically when creating your project, you create a folder for your end-product and add all needed assets there. then load using local paths.  

sending then simply involves zipping the end-product folder and sending that zip file.

I understand. Thanks for taking the time to help 🙂

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
