Previewing the publishing format and settings

To preview your Flash SWF file with your specified publishing format and settings, you can use

Using the current Publish Settings values, Flash creates a file of the specified type(s) in the
same location as the FLA. This file remains in this location until you overwrite or delete it.

Using Flash Player

Flash Player plays Flash content in the same way as it appears in a web browser or an ActiveX host
application. The player is installed with Flash application. When you double-click Flash content,
the operating system starts Flash Player, which then plays the SWF file. You can use the player to
make Flash content viewable for users who aren't using a web browser or an ActiveX host
application.
You can control Flash content in Flash Player using menu commands and the
function. For example, to make Flash Player take over the entire screen, you assign
to a frame or button and select the
information, see "Sending messages to and from Flash Player" in Using ActionScript in Flash.
You can also print Flash content frames using the Flash Player context menu. For more
information, see
