You can specify the image that should appear if the user doesn’t have Shockwave or the
ActiveX control.
To use the Image tab:
•
In the Poster Frame field, enter the frame number from your movie’s Score that you want to
appear as a JPEG image for users who are unable to view your movie.
•
To specify compression for the image, move the Quality slider to the desired compression
setting. The higher the percentage, the less the image is compressed.

JPEG progressive also reduces its file size.
