Specify the settings

1

Select File > Publish Settings and click Formats. The HTML file type is selected by default.

2

Use the default filename, which matches the name of your document, or enter a unique name, including the .html

extension.

3

To show HTML settings and select an installed template to use from the Template pop-up menu, click HTML. To

show a description of the selected template, click Info. The default selection is Flash Only.

4

If you selected an HTML template other than Image Map or QuickTime, and on the Flash tab you set the Version

to Flash Player 4 or later, select Flash Version Detection.

Note: Flash Version Detection configures your document to detect the version of Flash Player that the user has and sends
the user to an alternative HTML page if the user does not have the targeted player.

5

Select a Dimensions option to set the values of the

width

and

height

attributes in the

object

and

embed

tags:

Match Movie

(Default) Uses the size of the SWF file.

Pixels

Enters the number of pixels for the width and height.

Percent

Specifies the percentage of the browser window that the SWF file occupies.

6

To control the SWF file’s playback and features, select Playback options:

Paused At Start

Pauses the SWF file until a user clicks a button or selects Play from the shortcut menu. (Default) The

option is deselected and the content begins to play as soon as it is loaded (the

PLAY

parameter is set to

true)

.

Loop

Repeats the content when it reaches the last frame. Deselect this option to stop the content when it reaches the

last frame. (Default) The

LOOP

parameter is on.

Display Menu

Shows a shortcut menu when users Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the SWF file.

To show only About Flash in the shortcut menu, deselect this option. By default, this option is selected (the

MENU

parameter is set to

true).

Device Font

(Windows only) Substitutes anti-aliased (smooth-edged) system fonts for fonts not installed on the

user’s system. Using device fonts increases the legibility of type at small sizes and can decrease the SWF file’s size.
This option affects only SWF files that contain static text (text that you create when authoring a SWF file and that
does not change when the content appears) set to display with device fonts.

7

To determine the trade-off between processing time and appearance, as described in the following list, select

Quality options. These options set the

QUALITY

parameter’s value in the

object

and

embed

tags.

Low

Favors playback speed over appearance and does not use anti-aliasing.

Auto Low

Emphasizes speed at first but improves appearance whenever possible. Playback begins with anti-aliasing

turned off. If Flash Player detects that the processor can handle it, anti-aliasing is automatically turned on.
