Hello all, I'm new to web programming. The guy I paid to create my website did it in Flash. I committed to taking over the maintenance of it. I would like to know how to edit the website. I have Flash CS3, Cute FTP, and access to the hosting of the site. When I view the site files, I don't see the code. For example, none of the content is visible, I can see the tags and references to js, and swf files, but I can't figure out how to edit content, or even see it. Also, why don't I see a Doctype declaration like the one I learned in "Beginning Web Programming". All helpful comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have the .fla file?

And if there's no doctype declaration in your html file, it's not going to validate ;)

These are the files he gave me: .txt, .swf, favicon.ico, gdform.php, google...html, index.html, missing.html, Directory php_uploads, Directory stats, welcome.html
Is the .fla file the one that contains all the html?

.fla is the one that contains all the flash source code. If you're missing that one you're gonna be in trouble.

You can get the fla from the swf files by using some programs like (Sothink SWF Decompiler)
