Changing Publish settings
You can change Publish settings by using the Publish Settings dialog box.
To change Publish settings:
•
Select File > Publish Settings.
The Publish Settings dialog box appears with some or all of the following tabs, depending on
the HTML template you select: Formats, General, Shockwave, Compression, Shockwave Save,
and Image. The Image tab, for example, appears only if you select the Shockwave with Image
HTML template.
To use the Formats tab:
•
To select an HTML template, or to create a Shockwave file without an HTML template, you
use the HTML Template pop-up menu.
•
To create a Shockwave file without an HTML file, select no HTML Template.
•
To use
OBJECT
and
EMBED
parameters in the HTML file to display the Shockwave file, use the
Shockwave Default template.
When you select the Detect Shockwave template, JavaScript and VB Script determine if the
correct version of the Shockwave plug-in or ActiveX is on your user’s computer. If not, a
message tells your user to update Shockwave.
•
To expand the Shockwave file to fill the entire browser window, select Fill Browser Window.
•
To play a loader movie while the Shockwave file downloads, select Loader Movie.
•
To display a game with a progress bar while the Shockwave file loads, select Loader Game.
•
To display a progress bar and image while the Shockwave file downloads, select Progress Bar
with Image.
If you select the Shockwave with Image template, the template automatically detects the
Shockwave player or Active X control on your user’s browser and uses it to display your movie.
If Shockwave is not found and the user’s browser is Internet Explorer on Windows 95 or NT,
the browser automatically installs the Active X control. In all other cases, the image that you
specify on the Publish Settings Image tab is displayed. The Image tab is available only when
you select the Shockwave with Image template.
•
To display a progress bar while the Shockwave file downloads, select Simple Progress Bar.
•
To center the Shockwave movie in the browser, select Center Shockwave.
•
The HTML File and Shockwave File fields indicate where Director will save your HTML and
DCR files, respectively. To specify another path, edit the path in the field, or click the field’s
Browse button and select a new path.
•
To launch your movie in a browser automatically when you execute the Publish command,
select Output: View in Browser.
