Setting basic plug-in options


    To set basic plug-in options, use the Basic tab of the Plug-in Inspector. For the SWF, QuickTime, RealOne, SVG, and Windows Media plug-in objects, most basic options are predefined. For the generic Plug-in object, however, you must manually specify the MIME type.

To set basic plug-in options:

  1. In the Layout Editor, select a plug-in object.
  2. In the Plug-in Inspector, click the Basic tab.
  3. If you are setting up a generic Plug-in object Generic Plug-in object , select Mime, and choose the MIME type from the pop-up menu.
  4. Enter a value in the Width text box for the width of the media clip in pixels or as a percentage.
  5. Enter a value in the Height text box for the height of the media clip in pixels or as a percentage.
  6. Choose an alignment option from the Alignment pop-up menu:
    • Default to position the icon according to the browser's preferences. If the browser does not specify any alignment preferences, the clip will be left-aligned. (Most browsers do not specify alignment preferences.)
    • Left to position the icon in the upper left corner.
    • Middle to position the icon in the upper middle.
    • Right to position the icon in the upper right corner.
  7. From the HTML menu, choose the tags that browsers will use to detect the required plug-in.
  8. Note: If you choose the <object> or <object> <embed> tags for a generic Plug-in object, you must also specify a plug-in class in the Class text box.
