MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-USING FLASH Use Manual page 312

To set general publish settings for a Flash document:
Open the Publish Settings dialog box. Do one of the following:
1.
Select File > Publish Settings.
In the Property inspector for the document (which is available when no object is selected),
click the Settings button.
Note: To create a publish profile for the publish settings that you specify, see
profiles" on page
In the Publish Settings dialog box, select the option for each file format you want to create.
2.
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.
In the File text box for each selected format, either accept the default filename, which
3.
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).
Decide where to publish the files. By default, the files are published in the same location as the
4.
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.
To create a stand-alone projector file, select Windows Projector or Macintosh Projector.
5.
Note: 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.
Click the tab for the format options you want to change. Specify publish settings for each
6.
format, as described in the following sections.
When you have finished setting options, do one of the following:
7.
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).
Setting publish options for the Flash SWF file format
When publishing a Flash document, you can set image and sound compression options, and an
option to protect your SWF file from being imported. You use the controls in the Flash panel of
the Publish Settings dialog box to change the settings.
