Exporting your Movie and Getting it Ready for the Web
Top  Previous  Next


This is a step-by-step tutorial for exporting your Movie.

This tutorial is saved as "first.swi" in the File | Samples | Tutorials Menu.

1. Open "myfirst.swi" saved from the previous tutorial.

2. From the File Menu, select Export | exporthtml HTML + SWF. From the 'Publish SWiSH Movie' dialog box, locate the folder you wish to save your files to, and press Save. This will export your Movie in the .swf file format (which the Flash Player will read) and the HTML page that your Movie will be embedded in.

Note: SWiSHmax will ask you if you want to edit the HTML file that was just exported. For this example, simply select the 'No' option. The purpose of this option is so that you can manually edit the HTML code tags in your default HTML editor (it will open the file in Windows Notepad if no other default editor is set). You can edit the title of the webpage, add META tags, etc.

3.    Upload the .swf and .htm files to your server. Your Movie is now ready to play on the Web

Note : You can find more information on the options available when publishing your Movies in the Export Panel section of this manual. You will also find that the section Using SWiSH with Other Programs covers the Export options and parameters in some detail, particularly in the tutorial Using SWiSH with Dreamweaver

To view your Movie as it will be seen on the Web, locate and open "myfirst.html". This will play your Movie in your default browser.
