Exporting as a Flash file Canvas now provides compatibility for designing Web content to be used in a Flash®-enabled Web site. As a result, all Canvas documents can be saved as an .SWF file. Choose the Macromedia Flash (.swf) export option in the Save As dialog box. After clicking the Save button, the Flash Options dialog box opens. The resulting SWF files can then be displayed using either a Macro- media Flash player or a browser containing the Macromedia Flash plug-in. Flash Options General options Export mode (A) Macromedia Flash handles .SWF files in different ways than a Flash player or a Flash plug-in. Therefore, you must export the Canvas file using one of two possible modes: SWF Player or SWF Editor. The difference between these two modes is as follows: •   SWF Player Creates an .SWF file for use in a Macromedia Flash player or a compatible browser. •   SWF Editor Generates the .SWF file so that it may be imported into the Macromedia Flash application. Note: Exporting an .SWF file for use in an .SWF player doesn’t automatically mean that the file cannot be imported into a .SWF editor or vise versa. However, to reduce possible problems, we suggest that you export your Canvas file using a mode that matches your specific Flash export needs. Page export (B) This feature allows you to have the option to save a multipage document either as a single multiframe .SWF file or as a set of individual .SWF files: •   File with Frames - enables a multi-page Canvas document to be exported as a single multiframe .SWF file.
