Where are you wanting to save it?

On a more fundamental level, it looks like you're just starting out learning 
Authorware.  Are you aware that there will never be another version of 
Authorware, and the current version is several years old?  The possibility 
is that Authorware may not work with whatever the next version of Windows 
is.  I think it already does not work on the latest Mac version.  There is 
no guarantee of future browser compatibility.  So whatever effort you're 
putting in to learning Authorware is not going to help you in the years to 
come.

You may want to discuss with whoever asked you to build something in 
Authorware that whatever you are building may not have a long lifespan, and 
suggest that your time might be better spent learning a product that is 
better supported, like Captivate.
