User Guide
GoLive offers the generic Plug-in object that you configure, as well as the predefined SWF object , the
QuickTime object
, the Real object , the SVG object , and the Windows Media object . You can also
associate other file types with plug-ins.
To add multimedia objects to pages

2 In the Basic tab of the Plug-in Inspector, specify a file for your plug-in.
To set basic options for multimedia objects
For the SWF, QuickTime, Real, 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.
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 , 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 menu:
Default Positions 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 Positions the icon in the upper left corner.
Middle Positions the icon in the upper middle.
Right Positions 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.
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.
To set advanced options for multimedia objects
1 In the Plug-In Inspector, click the More tab.

QuickTime plug-in, a destination link appears by default.
4 Select Code for Real and SVG plug-ins, and specify a file for the link destination for the code base. The Macro-
media® Flash™ code base, for example, specifies the location of the Macromedia Flash player ActiveX control that the
browser can download if the control is not installed. The code base is provided by default when you use the
predefined SWF or QuickTime plug-in.
5 From the Palette pop-up menu, select an option to determine whether the plug-in appears in the Foreground or
Background palette. Select Default to place the palette in the background.
6 Enter a value in the HSpace text box to set the horizontal space between the multimedia element and the
surrounding text (the padding to the left and right).
