Indicate whether the current selection, all pages in the document, or a page range is included. Choosing Selection is especially useful if
you want to save the exported SWF file for use in an exported PDF file. If you select Range, specify a page range, such as 1-7, 9 to print pages
1 through 7 and 9. See Specifying pages to print.
Select this option to generate an HTML page that plays back the SWF file. This option is especially useful for quickly
previewing the SWF file in your web browser.
Select this option to play back the SWF file in your default web browser. This option is available only if you generate
an HTML file.
Specify whether the SWF file is scaled by a percentage, fit to a monitor size you specify, or sized according to the width and height
you specify.
Specify whether the background of your SWF is transparent or if it uses the current Paper color from the Swatches panel. Selecting
Transparent disables the Page Transitions and Interactive Page Curl options.
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, buttons, and animations to be interactive in the exported SWF file. Select
Appearance Only to include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements. If Appearance Only is selected, animations
export as they appear in the layout at the time of export. Appearance Only is selected if you choose Flatten Transparency in the Advanced panel.
Specify one page transition to apply to all pages during export. If you use the Page Transitions panel to specify transitions,
choose the From Document option to use those settings.
If this option is selected, users playing the SWF file can drag a corner of the page to turn it, giving the appearance
of turning the page in a real book.
Higher frame rates create smoother animations but may increase the file size. Changing the frame rate does not affect playback
duration.
Specify how InDesign text is output. Choose Flash Classic Text to output searchable text that results in the smallest file size. Choose
Convert To Outlines to output the text as a series of smooth straight lines, like converting text to outlines. Choose Convert To Pixels to output the
text in a bitmap image. Text converted to pixels may appear jagged when zoomed in on.
This option converts all InDesign page items to bitmap. Selecting this option results in a larger SWF file, and page items may
appear jagged when zoomed in on.
This option removes live transparency from the SWF and preserves the transparency appearance. However, all
interactivity is removed from the exported SWF file if this option is selected.
Choose Automatic to let InDesign determine the best quality for color and grayscale images. For most files, this option produces
satisfactory results. Choosing JPEG (Lossy) is suitable for grayscale or color images. JPEG compression is lossy, which means that it removes
image data and possibly reduces image quality. However, it attempts to reduce file size with a minimal loss of information. Because JPEG
compression eliminates data, it can achieve much smaller files sizes. Choosing PNG (Lossless) exports the file without lossy compression.
If you notice a loss of image quality in transparent images when you export to SWF, choose PNG (Lossless) to improve the quality.
Specifies the amount of detail in the exported image. The higher the quality, the larger the file size. This option is dimmed if you
choose PNG (Lossless) for Compression.
Specify the resolution of bitmap images in the exported SWF. Choosing a high resolution is especially important to allow viewers to
zoom in on pixel-based content within your exported SWF. Choosing a high resolution can significantly increase the file size.
