HTML Export Options

HTML Export Options

The HTML option of the 'Export' Panel allows you to control the generation of the .htm file for the Test in Player and Export HTML commands.

When you export a Movie using File | Export | HTML, SWiSH generates both .swf and .htm files. The options displayed above pertain to the .htm file.

Size 100%
Scales the Movie scale to occupy the entire html page. It sets the width and height values of the Object and Embed tags to 100%. When turned off (the default setting), the width and height are set from the Movie size (or stage).

Loop
Repeats the Movie from the beginning when it reaches the last Frame. It sets the Loop value of the Object and Embed tags to True. Deselecting this option stops the Movie when it reaches the last Frame. Loop is checked by default.

Menu
This option makes a shortcut Menu available to users when they right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) on the Movie. It sets the Menu value of the Object and Embed tags to True. Deselect the Show Menu option if you want About Flash to be the only available option in the shortcut Menu. The Menu option is checked by default.

Base
Specifies the Base directory or URL to resolve any relative path names in your Movie. It sets the Base value of the Object and Embed tags.

Quality
Sets the level of anti-aliasing performed, and hence the smoothness of objects when playing a Movie. It sets the Quality value of the Object and Embed tags. Because anti-aliasing requires a faster processor to smooth each Frame of the Movie before it is rendered on the viewer's screen, the Quality parameter assigns priorities to appearance and playback speed. The priority options are as follows:

·	Low: prioritizes playback speed over appearance. With this setting, anti-aliasing is never used

·	Autolow: emphasizes speed at first, but improves appearance whenever possible. Playback begins with anti-aliasing turned off. If the Flash player detects that the processor can handle it, anti-aliasing is turned on

Autohigh: emphasizes playback speed and appearance equally at first, but sacrifices appearance for the sake of playback speed if necessary. Playback begins with anti-aliasing turned on. If the actual Frame Rate drops below the specified Frame Rate, anti-aliasing is turned off to improve playback speed. Use this setting to emulate the 'View > Antialias' setting in Flash

·	High: prioritizes appearance over playback speed. With this setting, anti-aliasing is always used. If the Movie does not contain animation, bitmaps are smoothed; if there is animation, bitmaps are not smoothed. High is the default setting

·	Best: provides the best display quality and does not consider playback speed. All output is anti-aliased and all bitmaps are smoothed.

Scale
Defines how the Movie is placed within the boundaries of the 'Browser' window. It sets the Scale value of the Object and Embed tags.

These settings are used if you use a width and height that are different from the Movie's original size (for example, if you choose the Size 100% option). The available settings are as follows:

·	Show all: makes the entire Movie visible in the specified area. The original aspect ratio of the Movie is maintained, and no distortion occurs. Borders may appear on two sides of the movie. This is the default setting

·	No Border: scales the Movie to fill the specified area. The original aspect ratio of the Movie is maintained, and no distortion occurs. Portions of the Movie may be cropped

·	Exact Fit: makes the entire Movie visible in the specified area. However, no attempt is made to preserve the original aspect ratio, and distortion may occur.

Align Movie
Determines how the Movie is placed within the 'Movie' window and, if it must be cropped to fit that window, how it is cropped. It sets the Salign value of the Object and Embed tags. The 'Salign Movie' options are as follows:

·	Default: displays the Movie centered in the 'Movie' window. All edges might be cropped if the 'Movie' window is smaller than the Movie

·	Left: aligns the Movie along the left edge of the 'Movie' window and crops the top, bottom, and right sides as necessary

·	Right: aligns the Movie along the right edge of the 'Movie' window and crops the top, bottom, and left sides as necessary

·	Top: aligns the Movie along the top edge of the 'Movie' window and crops the bottom, left, and right sides as necessary

·	Bottom: aligns the Movie along the bottom edge of the 'Movie' window and crops the top, left, and right sides as necessary

·	Top Left: aligns the Movie along the top and left edges of the 'Movie' window and crops the bottom and right sides as necessary

·	Top Right: aligns the Movie along the top and right edges of the 'Movie' window and crops the top and left sides as necessary

·	Bottom Left: aligns the Movie along the bottom and left edges of the 'Movie' window and crops the top and right sides as necessary

·	Bottom Right: aligns the Movie along the bottom and right edges of the 'Movie' window and crops the top and left sides as necessary.

Align Window
Determines how the Flash Player 'Movie' window is positioned within the 'Browser' window. It sets the Align value of the Object and Embed tags. The 'Align Window' options are as follows:

·	Default: centers the Movie along within the 'Browser' window and crops the top, bottom, left, and right sides as necessary

·	Left: aligns the Movie along the left edge of the 'Browser' window and crops the top, bottom, and right sides as necessary

·	Right: aligns the Movie along the right edge of the 'Browser' window and crops the top, bottom, and left sides as necessary

·	Top: aligns the Movie along the top edge of the 'Browser' window and crops the bottom, left, and right sides as necessary

·	Bottom: aligns the Movie along the bottom edge of the 'Browser' window and crops the top, left, and right sides as necessary.

Window Mode
Lets you take advantage of the transparent Movie, absolute positioning, and layering capabilities available in Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later). This option works only in the Windows version of Internet Explorer with the Flash Active X control. It sets the WMode value of the Object and Embed tags. The settings are as follows:

·	Window: plays the Movie in its own rectangular window on a web page. This setting normally provides the fastest animation performance and is the default setting

·	Opaque: use this setting if you want to move elements behind Flash movies (for example, with dynamic HTML) and don't want them to show through

·	Transparent: use this setting to make the background of the HTML page on which the Movie is embedded show through all the transparent portions of the Movie. Animation performance might be slower when you use this setting.
