Test download performance and publish the movie
To complete your document, you will use the Publish command to create a Web-compatible movie with the SWF extension.
If you use the Publish command with the default settings, Flash prepares your file for the Web. Flash will Publish the SWF and create an HTML file with the tags necessary to display the SWF.
Once you define the necessary Publish Settings options, you can repeatedly export to all selected formats at once by simply choosing File > Publish. Flash stores the publish settings you specify with the document, so each movie can have its own settings.
