Path

Computes a simple linear function of the three neighboring pixels (left, above, upper left), and selects the

neighboring pixel closest to the computed value as a predictor of the color.

Adaptive

Analyzes the colors in the image and creates a unique color table for the selected PNG file. Best for systems

showing thousands or millions of colors; it creates the most accurate color for the image but results in a file size larger
than a PNG created with the web 216-color palette. Reduce the size of a PNG created with an adaptive palette by
decreasing the number of colors in the palette.

Specify publish settings for QuickTime videos

The QuickTime Publish Settings option creates videos in the same QuickTime format installed on your computer.

The Flash document plays in the QuickTime video exactly as it does in Flash Player, retaining all its interactive
features. If the document also contains a QuickTime video, Flash copies it to its own track in the new QuickTime file.

The current version of QuickTime Player (as of this writing) supports Flash Player 5 SWF file playback. For best
results, Flash content that you export to the QuickTime format should contain only those features that Flash Player
5 supports.

If you try to export Flash Player 6 or later content to the QuickTime format, an error message appears, indicating
that the installed version of QuickTime does not support that version of Flash Player. To resolve this issue, select File
> Publish Settings > Flash, and select Flash Player 5 from the Version pop-up menu.

If a newer version of the QuickTime Player becomes available that supports Flash Player 6 and later versions, install
the updated QuickTime version and publish your document as QuickTime files that target those versions of Flash
Player.

Dimensions

the QuickTime video the same size as the Flash SWF file and keep its aspect ratio.

track.

Copy

Auto

Makes the Flash track transparent if it is on top of any other tracks, but opaque if it is the bottom or only track

in the SWF file.

Layer options:
