To determine how the player code is included in the projector, select an option for Player.
Standard
includes the uncompressed player code in the projector file. This option starts the
movie faster than other options but creates the largest projector file.
Compressed
includes a compressed version of the player code in the projector file. This
substantially reduces the projector file size, but decompressing the player code adds a few
seconds to the startup time of a movie.
Shockwave
makes the projector use the Shockwave player installed in a user’s system instead of
including the player code in the projector file. If the Shockwave player is not available when
the movie runs, the movie prompts the user to download it.
For more about these options, see “About distribution formats” on page 574.
