Protect from Import prevents others from importing a SWF file and converting it back
into a FLA document. If you select this option, you can decide to use password protection
with your Flash SWF file.
Debugging Permitted
activates the Debugger and allows remote debugging of a Flash
SWF file. If you select this option, you can decide to use password protection with your
SWF file.
Compress movie compresses the SWF file to reduce file size and download time. This
option is selected by default and is most beneficial when a file is text- or ActionScript-
intensive. A compressed file plays only in Flash Player 6 or later.
Optimize for Flash Player 6 r65 If you selected Flash Player 6 in the Version pop-up
menu, you can select this option to target a release of Flash Player 6. The updated version
uses ActionScript register allocation to improve performance. Users must have the same
release of Flash Player 6 or later.
6. If you selected either Debugging Permitted or Protect from Import in step 5, you can enter
a password in the Password text box. If you add a password, others must enter the password
before they can debug or import the SWF file. To remove the password, clear the Password
text box.
For more information on the Debugger, see Chapter 2, “Writing and Editing ActionScript
2.0” in
Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Flash .
7. To control bitmap compression, adjust the JPEG Quality slider or enter a value.
Lower image quality produces smaller files; higher image quality produces larger files. Try
different settings to determine the best trade-off between size and quality; 100 provides
the highest quality and least compression.
8.
To set the sample rate and compression for all streaming sounds or event sounds in the
SWF file, click the Set button next to Audio Stream or Audio Event and select options for
Compression, Bit Rate, and Quality in the Sound Settings dialog box. Click OK when you
finish.
For more information on sound, see Chapter 12, “Working with Sound,” on page 311 .

A streaming sound plays as soon as enough data for the first few frames downloads;
it is synchronized to the Timeline. An event sound does not play until it downloads
completely, and it continues to play until explicitly stopped.
