1. Select File > Publish Settings, and click the HTML Wrapper category in the left column.
2. Select one of the Flash Only templates or the Flash HTTPS template from the Template pop-up menu. These templates support the single-
page HTML detection kit. Any of these templates enable the Detect Flash Version check box and the version number text fields.
3. Select the Detect Flash Version check box. Your SWF file is embedded in a web page that includes Flash Player detection code. If the
detection code finds an acceptable version of Flash Player installed on the end user’s computer, the SWF file plays as designed.
4. (Optional) To specify precise revisions of Flash Player, use the Major Revision and Minor Revision text fields. For example, specify Flash
Player version 10.1.2 if it provides a feature specific to displaying your SWF file.
When you publish your SWF file, Flash Pro creates a single HTML page in which to embed the SWF file and the Flash Player detection
code. If an end user does not have the version of Flash Pro you’ve specified to view the SWF file, an HTML page appears with a link to
download the latest version of Flash Player.
Specify publish settings for GIF files
Use GIF files to export drawings and simple animations from Flash Pro for use in web pages. Standard GIF files are compressed bitmaps.
An animated GIF file (sometimes referred to as a GIF89a) offers a simple way to export short animation sequences. Flash Pro optimizes an
animated GIF file, storing only frame-to-frame changes.
Flash Pro exports the first frame in the SWF file as a GIF file, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the #Static frame label
in the Property inspector. Flash Pro exports all the frames in the current SWF file to an animated GIF file unless you specify a range of frames for
export by entering the #First and #Last frame labels in the appropriate keyframes.
Flash Pro can generate an image map for a GIF file to maintain URL links for buttons in the original document. Use the Property inspector to place
the frame label #Map in the keyframe in which to create the image map. If you don’t create a frame label, Flash Pro creates an image map using
the buttons in the last frame of the SWF file. Create an image map only if the $IM template variable is present in the template you select.
1. Select File > Publish Settings, and click GIF Image in the left column of the dialog box.
2. For the GIF filename, use the default filename or enter a new filename with the .gif extension.
3. Select options for the GIF file:
Select Match Movie to make the GIF the same size as the SWF file and maintain the aspect ratio of your original image or enter
values for width and height in pixels for the exported bitmap image.
Determines whether Flash Pro creates a still (Static) image or an animated GIF (Animation). If you select Animation, select Loop
Continuously or enter the number of repetitions.
4. To specify additional appearance settings for the exported GIF file, expand the Colors section and select one of the following options:
Removes any unused colors from a GIF file’s color table. This
option reduces the file size without affecting image quality, but slightly increases the memory requirements. This option has no effect on an
adaptive palette. (An adaptive palette analyzes the colors in the image and creates a unique color table for the selected GIF file.)
Incrementally shows the exported GIF file in a browser as it downloads.
Lets the user see basic graphic content before the file completely downloads and can download the file faster over a slow network
connection. Do not interlace an animated GIF image.
Applies anti-aliasing to an exported bitmap to produce a higher-quality bitmap image and improve text display quality. However,
