To set basic options for multimedia objects
For the SWF, QuickTime, Real, SVG, and Windows Media plug-in objects, most basic options are predefined. For
the generic Plug-in object, however, you must manually specify the MIME type.

In the Layout Editor, select a plug-in object.
2
In the Plug-in Inspector, click the Basic tab.
3
If you are setting up a generic Plug-in object , select Mime, and choose the MIME type from the pop-up menu.

5
Enter a value in the Height text box for the height of the media clip in pixels or as a percentage.

preferences, the clip will be left-aligned. (Most browsers do not specify alignment preferences.)

From the HTML menu, choose the tags that browsers will use to detect the required plug-in.

Select Code for Real and SVG plug-ins, and specify a file for the link destination for the code base. The Macro
media® Flash™ code base, for example, specifies the location of the Macromedia Flash player ActiveX control that the
browser can download if the control is not installed. The code base is provided by default when you use the
predefined SWF or QuickTime plug-in.

Background palette. Select Default to place the palette in the background.
