I am learning flash 8 by my self and I am stucked.
I bought flash template that come with psd and flash format files. I can
update only index file and can not get to the reste of the pages. why the
template come with the psd file (which I can edit very well in photoshop but
not in flash)

How do I get to the other pages when I open the document in flash?

Probably a good question for the company that provides the template for how it
works and why the various files are provided.

As far as Flash is concerned, using external loaded JPEG, GIF and PNG files
from the Flash movie is fully supported in Flash 8 and JPEG for most versions
back. Embedded images can be loaded from a wider variety of formats including
PSD but not necessarily the current version.

Finally the index file you are probably talking about is an HTML file. To
change the template you need the FLA file (Flash Document File) and Flash IDE
to make changes. A Flash template usually implies you are getting the FLA file
however it is possible to deliver only the Swf (Flash Movie) and have you
provide the inputs from an external file like a XML file to feed it and
configure it.
