MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-USING FLASH Use Manual page 460

To set general publish settings for a Flash document:
1. Open the Publish Settings dialog box. Do one of the following:
Select File > Publish Settings.
In the Property inspector for the document (which is available when no object is
selected), click the Settings button.
To create a publish profile for the publish settings that you specify, see
publish profiles" on page
2. In the Publish Settings dialog box, select the option for each file format you want to create.
The Flash SWF format is selected by default. The HTML format is also selected by
default because you need an HTML file for a SWF file to appear in a browser. Tabs
corresponding to the selected file formats appear above the current panel in the dialog box
(except for Windows or Macintosh projector formats, which have no settings). For more
information on publish settings for individual file formats, see the following sections.
3. In the File text box for each selected format, either accept the default filename, which
corresponds to the name of the document, or enter a new filename with the appropriate
extension (such as .gif for a GIF file and .jpg for a JPEG file).
4.
Decide where to publish the files. By default, the files are published in the same location as
the FLA file. To change where files are published, click the folder beside the filename and
browse to a different location in which to publish the file.
5.
To create a stand-alone projector file, select Windows Projector or Macintosh Projector.
The Windows version of Flash adds the .hqx extension to the filename of a
Macintosh projector file. You can create a Macintosh projector using the Windows
versions of Flash, but you must use a file translator such as BinHex to make the
resulting file appear as an application file in the Macintosh Finder.
6. Click the tab for the format options you want to change. Specify publish settings for each
format, as described in the following sections.
7. When you have finished setting options, do one of the following:
To generate all the specified files, click Publish.
To save the settings with the FLA file and close the dialog box without publishing,
click OK.
To publish a Flash document without selecting new publish settings:
Select File > Publish to create the files in the formats and location specified in the
Publish Settings dialog box (either the default settings, the settings you selected previously,
or the selected publish profile).
