Director, or you can modify them with the Publish Settings dialog box.
For the tutorial movie, you will publish the movie using the Detect Shockwave HTML page
which, in addition to including
correctly in a browser, includes JavaScript that detects if your user has the correct version of
Shockwave Player. If necessary, a message appears that advises your user to update the Shockwave
Player installation.
