This book has an accompanying Web site (www.wiley.com/go/flashcatalystbible) with the files needed to complete the exercises throughout the chapters, particularly those in the hands-on tutorials in Part V. The site contains a set of Zip files, the purposes of which are each described in the Tables in this appendix.
All of the files should be extracted to your computer's hard drive. With the exception of the ColdFusion files (See Table C.1), they can be extracted to any location on your hard drive.
The ColdFusion files must be extracted into ColdFusion's Web root directory. See the readMe.txt file included with each archive that includes ColdFusion files for details.
