There are different ways you can use the JSFL scripts on this blog. I will list a few ways that you can get up and running.

1. Quick and dirty. If script is simple and doesn’t require XML (it will be only one AS file), this will work fine just to test it out.
- Create a new JSFL text file in Flash
- Paste in this code
- Save it to your harddrive
- Depending on the command you are trying to run, create the appropriate scenario that the script will be used for (ex: using the ‘Colorize Selected Layers’, you will need to create several layers and select the specified layers to be colorized)
- In the top menu go to Commands/Run Command, then navigate to the saved JSFL file and open it
- Done

2. Proper way. Stick the command file in the Flash Commands folder. This is helpful because the JSFL command will show up in the Commands drop down on the top menu and you won’t need to navigate to the file on your harddrive.
- Create a new JSFL text file in Flash
- Paste in this code
- Save it to or paste the file into the following directory on Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\”YOUR NAME”\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Commands
- Restart Flash
- Depending on the command you are trying to run, create the appropriate scenario that the script will be used for (ex: using the ‘Colorize Selected Layers’, you will need to create several layers and select the specified layers to be colorized)
- Click on the Commands tab in the top navigation and look for the appropriate Command in the dropdown.
- Done

These are the 2 basic ways of using JSFL. I may do a post about packaging JSFL into an MXP file for easy installation at a later date.
