Publishing a Movie
Introduction
When you design a Flash movie, you're actually working with
two documents: a source document FLA, and a publish docu-
ment SWF. The source document is the working document
that the Flash application uses to edit the movie data. The
published document is the compressed player document
that, once created, can be inserted into an HTML document,
burned onto a CD, DVD, or DVS, or played directly from your
hard drive, external drive, or network drive.
You can publish a Flash document in one step, by clicking
the File menu, and then clicking Publish. However, before
publishing, it's a good idea to first check the publish settings
by clicking the File menu, and then clicking Publish Settings.
Using the Publish Settings dialog box, you can easily change
the way your file is published. For example, the default set-
tings for publishing a Flash document are to publish using
the latest Flash plug-in, and to create an HTML container doc-
ument to hold and play the published movie. Additional
options include the ability to generate a JPEG, GIF, or PNG
image of a selected frame in the Flash source document. You
can even create a self-running player document for
Macintosh or Windows. Publishing is not only necessary to
create a Flash movie; it can be used to test the movie using
different settings.
Once the correct publish settings are found, you can
export the settings into a separate file, and then use them on
new Flash documents. This not only makes the publishing
process fast, it gives you consistency between documents.

Chapter 20
Publishing a Flash movie is the last step in a
long journey from inception to the final
product. Along the publishing road, you’ll
encounter detours, and stoplights and even
get lost once in awhile. However, if you've

had the foresight to plan your project, then
the journey becomes one more of pleasure
than pain.
Planning a project requires knowledge of
where the final published document is
headed. You might be designing a Flash
movie, where the intended audience is the
Web, or it could be a project where the final
destination is a CD or DVD. It could be an
interactive form, or an animated cartoon. It's
even possible that your goals for this project
involve more than one destination.
Called Multi-purposing, Flash will help you
design a project version that is small enough
to run efficiently, as well as a higher-quality
version, intended to run directly off the hard
drive. It really doesn't matter where the proj-
ect is headed, because Flash's advanced pub-
lishing options will effortlessly guide you
through the process.
Before you ever open Flash, create your
first graphic, or write your first piece of text,
always remember to plan the project. In other
words, begin the project with the end in mind.
That's not new, but it bears remembering. If
you plan for the end of a project, you will cre-
ate a road map that will accurately guide you
to your final destination.
When you are ready to publish a Flash
movie, you can use Flash publishing settings

and tools in this chapter to make the job eas-
ier. You can also use the Adobe Flash deploy-
ment kit to post Flash Player SWF files to your
Web site and control the experience of visi-
tors who do not have the Flash Player
installed in their browser. Flash standardizes
the method used for detection of the plug-in
on the client-side, reducing the amount of
code that must be written to implement the
detection option. If you're interested in work-
ing with the Flash Development Kit, simply
point your browser to

devnet/devices/development_kits.html
. Since
Flash is always creating new ways for us to
design great Flash documents, this site is con-
stantly changing to reflect the latest technolo-
gies.

Once you've determined how your project will be published, it's time to
let Flash assist you with all the details of getting your project from con-
ception to an output file suited to your needs. Flash's publishing set-
tings go far beyond converting a Flash source file FLA into a published
movie SWF; they give you the ability to adjust the output to a specific
version of the Flash player, incorporate specific Flash compression fea-

tures, and even save screen shots of the source file's frames in several
different formats. And, if a Flash movie is not what you're after, you can
even publish a Flash source file in other formats, including GIF, JPEG,
PNG, and Windows or Macintosh Projector. In addition, you can also
export a Flash source file in a variety of file formats, including a
QuickTime movie MOV.
Modifying Publish
Settings
Modify Publish Settings
Open a Flash source document.
Generic publish settings are
initially linked to a specific Flash
file.
Click the File menu, and then click
Publish Settings.
Select or clear the option check
boxes to enable or disable the
Publish Settings.
Enter a name for the individual
options in the File name input box.
To revert the names to default,
click the Use Default Names
button.
The default name refers to the
name of the source document.
Click OK to save the changes.
IMPORTANT
When you
publish a Flash movie, the changes
only affect the published .swf

document, never the .fla source
document. If you delete or
misplace the .fla source document,
you will never be able to re-edit, or
republish the movie.

A Flash document is like a fingerprint: no two Flash movies are the
same. So it stands to reason that different Flash documents would
require different publish settings. Flash gives you the ability to conform
a Flash document using specific output settings. Everything from the
version of the Flash player plug-in and ActionScript to the movie com-
pression and quality of embedded JPEG images are available options in
the Publish Setting dialog box.
Specifying Flash
Options

Specify Flash Options
Click the File menu, and then click

Drag the JPEG Quality slider to
increase or decrease the amount
of compression applied to the
image. The lower the value, the
more information is removed from
the image.
Select the Enable JPEG
deblocking check box to reduce
the appearance of common
artifacts found in highly
compressed JPEG files.
Select from the following options:
◆

Security Options
The Flash Player 8 and later incorporates a security option that
allows you to determine the local and network playback security for
published SWF files. SWF files have read access to local files and
networks by default, but they cannot communicate with the network.
In the Flash tab on the Publish Settings dialog box, you can select a
Local Playback Security option to access network resources, which

allows the SWF file to send and receive information. If you select the
option to access network resources, local access is disabled for
security reasons. Flash also provides buffer overrun protection, which
prevents misuse of external files, such as a virus. The player also pro-
vides stricter security; SWF files with nonsecure protocols (HTTP)
cannot access content loaded using secure protocols (HTTPS).
