Your Flash Movie |
|
Finally, after you are made all appropriate
change to the flash animated header of your flash
resource and flash template, you should publish
and update it.
Maybe you want to modify publish settings to reduce
download time or increase image quality. To do that
chooses File/Publish Settings from top menu. In
Publish Settings window choose Flash tab. Main options
that have significant influence on published SWF
movie file size are Jpeg Quality, Audio Stream and
Audio Event.
To change jpeg image compression ratio move Jpeg
Quality slider or type it in the input box at the
right of it. Low quality (high compression) extremely
reduces download time by flash looses its professional
look. Try to experiment with quality to get optimal
size/quality balance.
Another way to affect movie size is to change Audio
Stream and Event options. Press Set button at the
right to change music quality options.
Actually you can publish your movie directly from
Publish Settings window, see Publish button at the
bottom. Or you can publish it from every point of
Macromedia Flash by pressing Shift+F12 hotkey.
Published SWF file will appear in the folder were
corresponding FLA file located.
Note: If some fonts
in your published SWF file differ from original
it means that you have not installed all appropriate
fonts. For instructions about it read Font Installation
section.
Replace old SWF file in HTML/Flash folder with a
new one. Now it’s time to check modifications
you are made. Go to the HTML folder of your web
design template and launch HTML file to see changes. |
