MACROMEDIA FLASH
Publishing Flash movies
Use the Publish command to prepare all the required files for a
complete Flash application on the web. Publish prepares not only the Flash
movie itself for the web, but creates alternate images in a variety of
formats that display automatically if a Flash player is not available.
Publish creates the supporting HTML document required to display a movie
(or an alternate image) in a browser and control browser settings. Publish
can also create stand-alone projectors for both Windows and Macintosh
systems and QuickTime videos from Flash movies.
Before publishing, use the Publish Settings command to choose formats
and specify settings. Once you have entered all the necessary Publish
Settings options, you can repeatedly export to all selected formats at
once by simply choosing File > Publish. Flash stores the Publish
Setting you specify with the movie file, so each file can have its own
settings.
To publish a movie:
| 1 |
Choose File > Publish Settings. |
| 2 |
Select the option for each file format you want to create. |
|
When you select a format for which Flash offers
additional settings, a new tab appears above the current panel in
the dialog box. Note that Windows and Macintosh projector options
have no settings and therefore do not have their own tabs in the
Publish Setting dialog box. When you choose an image format such
as GIF, JPEG, or PNG, Flash automatically add the required HTML
code to display the image if the Flash player is not available. |
| 3 |
Enter a unique name for file, or select Use Default Name to
create each file using the Flash file's name with the extension
appropriate for that format. |
| 4 |
Click the tab for the format options you want to change. Specify
publish settings for each format as described in the following
sections. Click Publish to generate all the specified files when
you're done, or click OK to close the dialog box without
publishing. |
|
Flash generates the files as specified in Publish
Settings. Choose File > Publish to immediately publish files in
all specified formats using the current publish settings. |
