Publishing Your Flash Movie

Finally, after you�ve made all appropriate changes to the Flash animated header of your web design template, you should publish and update it.

Possibly you�ll want to modify publish settings to reduce download time or increase image quality. To do that, choose File/Publish Settings� from top menu. In Publish Settings window choose Flash tab. The main options that have significant influence on the published SWF movie file size are Jpeg Quality, Audio Stream and Audio Event.

To change the jpeg image compression ratio, move the Jpeg Quality slider or type it in the input box to the right of it. Low quality (high compression) immensely reduces download time but 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 the Set button to the right to change music quality options.

Actually you can publish your movie directly from the Publish Settings window - see the Publish button at the bottom. Or you can publish it from every point of Macromedia Flash by pressing the �Shift+F12� hotkey.

A published SWF file will appear in the folder where the corresponding FLA file is located.

Note: If some fonts in your published SWF file differ from the original, it means that you have not installed all appropriate fonts. For instructions about it read the Font Installation section.

Replace your old SWF file in the HTML/Flash folder with a new one. Now it�s time to check the modifications you�ve made. Go to the HTML folder of your web design template and launch the HTML file to see all changes.
