•
Image Compression optimizes your content for download over the Internet by letting you manage the file
size (versus the image quality) of a file. The default is set to JPEG, with a quality setting of 80. To further optimize
the size of your images, adjust the Image Compression setting of each individual bitmap.
Standard: Select Standard to apply the compression techniques used by Director. This setting is suitable for
simple graphics that contain few colors or non-photographic type images.
JPEG: Select JPEG and specify the image-quality setting by moving the slider to a value between 0 and 100
percent. A lower percentage results in increased compression, but produces a lower-quality image.
•
Audio Compression
Compression Enabled lets you compress the sound in your movie. Select this option and select the level of
compression from the kBits/second menu. For more information about sound compression, see
Compressing internal sounds with Shockwave
Convert Stereo to Mono lets you convert stereo audio to monaural. This option is available only if
