How to work with Publish Setting

To work with Publish Setting

- Use the Publish Settings command to choose the file formats and specify the settings before publishing

- Choose File menu then click on publish setting

- Then this will display Publish Setting dialog box.

• Enter a unique name for file, or select Use Default Name to create each file, Use the Flash file's name with the extension appropriate for that format.

• Click the tab for the format options you want to change. Specify Publish Settings for each format as described in the following sections

Choose Flash tab

• Load Order Determines how layers are loaded for the first frame. Over a slow network or modem connection, Flash draws parts of the movie as they become available. Use this option to determine what will appear first when the movie downloads. Load Order affects only the first frame.

• Generate Size Report Produces a text file useful as a guide for minimizing the file size of the movie. This size report displays how many bytes in various parts of your movie used in the final Flash Player file. The report has the same name as the exported movie, but with a .txt extension.

• Protect From Import Prevents the Flash Player movie from being downloaded from the web and imported back into Flash.

• Omit Trace Actions Makes Flash ignore the Trace statement in the current movie. Trace causes Flash to open an output window to display certain content.

• JPEG Quality Determines the amount of JPEG file compression applied to any bitmaps contained in your file. Lower image quality produces smaller files, while higher image quality produces larger files. Experiment with different settings to determine the best trade- off between size and quality: 100 provide the highest quality and least compression. If the exported image contains no bitmaps, this setting has no effect.

• Audio Stream and Audio Event specify

• the rate and compression are for exported stream and event sounds

• Override Sound Settings Makes the settings in this dialog box override settings defined in the Sound Properties dialog box for individual sounds. This option is useful if you want to create a larger high fidelity audio movie for local use, and smaller low fidelity version for the web

• Version Specifies which version of the Flash Player the exported movie will play back on. Flash 5 features do not work in movies exported in earlier versions

Choose HTML tab

• Template Specifies which of the installed templates to use. All of the template files in the HTML folder in the Flash application folder appear on the pop- up menu. For a description of each template, select a template from the pop-up menu and click the Info button to the right. If you don't choose a template Flash, use a template named Default. Html.þIf Default. Html is not present; Flash uses the first template on the list.

• Dimensions Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes in the OBJECT.

• Playback Assigns values to the LOOP, PLAY, MENU, and DEVICE FONT parameters in the OBJECT and EMBED tags.

• Quality Sets the value of the QUALITY parameter in the OBJECT and EMBED tags and determines the level of anti-aliasing performed. Because anti-aliasing requires a faster processor to smoothen each frame of the movie before it is rendered on the viewer's screen, the QUALITY parameter assigns priorities to appearance and playback speed.

• Window Mode (Windows only) Sets the WMODE parameter of the OBJECT tag, which lets you take advantage of the transparent movie, absolute positioning, and layering capabilities available in Internet Explorer 4.0. This option works only in the Windows version of Internet Explorer with the Flash Active X control.

• Alignment Specifies the ALIGN attribute for the OBJECT, EMBED, and IMG tags and determines how the Flash movie window is positioned within the browser window.

• Scale Determines the value of the SCALE parameter in the OBJECT and EMBED tags and defines how the movie is placed within the boundaries you specify in the Width and Height fields. These settings apply only if you enter a width and height setting different from the movie's original size.

• Flash Alignment Sets the SALIGN parameter of the OBJECT and EMBED tags. The settings you choose from the Horizontal and Vertical pop-up menu determine how the movie is placed within the movie window and, if it must be cropped to fit that window, how it is cropped. Choose Left, Center or Right from the Horizontal pop- up menu; and Top, Center, or Bottom from the Vertical pop- up menu.

• Display Warning Messages Determines if Flash displays error messages warning of conflicts in tag settings. For example, with this option on an error message would appear if a template includes code referring to an alternate image that you have not specified
