Flash can generate an image map for a GIF file to maintain URL links for buttons in the
original document. You use the Property inspector to place the frame label #Map in the
keyframe in which you want to create the image map. If you don’t create a frame label, Flash
creates an image map using the buttons in the last frame of the SWF file. You can create an
image map only if the
$IM
template variable is present in the template you select. For more
information, see “Creating an image map” on page 484 .
To publish a GIF file with your Flash file:
1.
Do one of the following to open the Publish Settings dialog box:
■
Select File > Publish Settings.
■
In the Property inspector for the document (which is available when no object is
selected), click the Settings button.
2. On the Formats tab, select the GIF Image type. In the File text box for the GIF image,
either use the default filename or enter a new filename with the .gif extension.
3. Click the GIF tab to show the file settings.
4. For Dimensions, enter a width and height in pixels for the exported bitmap image, or select
Match Movie to make the GIF the same size as the Flash SWF file and maintain the aspect
ratio of your original image.
5. Select a Playback option to determine whether Flash creates a still (Static) image or an
animated GIF (Animation). If you select Animation, select Loop Continuously or enter the
number of repetitions.
6.
Select one of the following options to specify a range of appearance settings for the
exported GIF file:
Optimize Colors removes any unused colors from a GIF file’s color table. This option
reduces the file size by 1000 to 1500 bytes without affecting image quality, but slightly
increases the memory requirements. This option has no effect on an adaptive palette. (An
adaptive palette analyzes the colors in the image and creates a unique color table for the
selected GIF file.)
Interlace
incrementally shows the exported GIF file in a browser as it downloads.
Interlacing lets the user see basic graphic content before the file has completely
downloaded and can download the file faster over a slow network connection. Do not
interlace an animated GIF image.
NO
