Using shorthand template variables
The
$PO
(for
object
tags) and
$PE
(for
embed
tags) template variables are useful shorthand elements. Each variable
causes Flash to insert into a template any nondefault values for some of the most common
object
and
embed
param-
eters, including
PLAY
(
$PL
),
QUALITY
(
$QU
),
SCALE
(
$SC
),
SALIGN
(
$SA
),
WMODE
(
$WM
),
DEVICEFONT
(
$DE
), and
BGCOLOR
(
$BG
).
Embedding search metadata
The
$TL
(SWF file title) and
$DC
(description metadata) template variables let you include search metadata in the
HTML. This ability can make the SWF file more visible to search engines, and provide meaningful search results.
Use the
$MD
template variable to include the search metadata as an XML string.
Sample HTML template
The following Default.HTML template file in Flash includes many of the commonly used template variables:
$TTFlash Only
$DS
Display Adobe Flash Movie in HTML.
$DF
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
$CS
$MU
$MT
Editing Flash HTML settings
About the HTML document
You need an HTML document to play a SWF file in a web browser and specify browser settings. To control a SWF
file, change or enter HTML parameters in an HTML editor or create custom HTML files.
Flash can create the HTML document automatically when you publish a SWF file.
