Publish the application

You can publish your Flash document for web playback in one step, by selecting File > Publish. Before you publish, however, you'll check your publish settings.

View publish settings

Using the Publish Settings dialog box, you can easily change the way your file is published.

1. To view your publish settings, choose File > Publish Settings.

   Flash is configured, by default, to create a supporting HTML file that displays the Flash application.

   When you select a format that requires additional settings, a new tab appears.

2. On the Formats tab, verify that Flash (.swf) and HTML (.html) are selected. Click the Flash tab.

   By default, the application publishes for the Flash Player.

3. Click the HTML tab.

   By default, the publishing process creates an HTML document that inserts your SWF file in a browser window. Settings on the HTML tab of the Publish Settings dialog box determine how the application appears in the browser.

4. If Detect Flash Version is selected, deselect that option so that Flash will not create files to detect your user's Flash Player version.

Change publish settings

By default, Flash gives the SWF file the same name as the FLA file. You will now change the default name.

1. Click the Formats tab of the Publish Settings dialog box. In the HTML (.html) text box, select the existing text and type newAd.html.
2. Click Publish. When the Publishing status window closes, click OK in the Publish Settings dialog box.
3. Save your document. Publish settings save with the document, so the next time you want to publish using the same settings, you can select File > Publish.

   Note: You can also create publish profiles. See Creating a publish profile.
