Printing From The Flash Authoring Tool - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-USING FLASH Use Manual

If necessary, adjust the view of the graph by taking one of the following actions:
6.
Select View > Streaming Graph to show which frames cause pauses.
This default view displays alternating light and dark gray blocks that represent each frame.
The side of each block indicates its relative byte size. The first frame stores a symbol's
contents, so it is often larger than other frames.
Select View > Frame by Frame Graph to display the size of each frame.
This view helps you see which frames contribute to streaming delays. If any frame block
extends above the red line in the graph, Flash Player stops playback until the entire frame
downloads.
Close the test window to return to the authoring environment.
7.
After you set up a test environment using the Bandwidth Profiler, you can open any SWF file
directly in test mode. The file opens in a Flash Player window, using the Bandwidth Profiler and
other selected viewing options.
For more information on debugging your documents, see Chapter 4, "Writing and Debugging
Scripts" in Using ActionScript in Flash.
To generate a report listing the amount of data in the final Flash Player file:
Select File > Publish Settings, and click the Flash tab.
1.
Select Generate Size Report.
2.
Click Publish.
3.
Flash generates a text file with the extension .txt. (If the document file is myMovie.fla, the text
file is myMovie Report.txt.) The report lists the size of each frame, shape, text, sound, video
and ActionScript script by frame.

Printing from the Flash authoring tool

You can print frames from Flash documents as you work, to preview and edit your documents.
You can also specify frames to be printable from Flash Player by a viewer that shows the Flash
document. See Chapter 18, "Printing from SWF Files," on page
When printing frames from a Flash document, you use the Print dialog box to specify the range
of scenes or frames you want to print as well as the number of copies. In Windows, the Page Setup
dialog box specifies paper size, orientation, and various print options—including margin settings
and whether all frames are to be printed for each page. On the Macintosh, these options are
divided between the Page Setup and the Print Margins dialog boxes.
The Print and Page Setup dialog boxes are standard within either operating system, and their
appearance depends on the selected printer driver.
