Export options for Flash
bitmap format (SWF) files
These options apply to both static and animated SWF files. More information on creating Flash files. To
learn more about exporting movies see creating animations and movies
.
Current window size lets you export just the area surrounding the text (crop on) or the entire window
area (crop off.)
User defined lets you specify the dimensions of the bitmap. With
fit to width (on the text toolbar) selected, the text and the background scales to suit the values you type
in. If you specified a font size, the size of the text does not change but the background scales to the
values you type in. This is useful if you want to create several headings, all the same height and width.
Color depth: the more colors, the larger the file size. For animations where each image appears for only
a short period you may find
256 colors gives satisfactory results.
Dithering (dimmed except for 256-colors).
None creates the smallest files but you may see bands of colors instead of smooth color graduations.
Transparent (dimmed for High-color): select this for a transparent background to the animation. Deselect
for a solid background.
Lossless and quality (dimmed except for true-color): quality values below 100% give smaller files but at
a lower quality.
Lossless is equivalent to 100% quality. You may need to experiment to get the best tradeoff between
quality and file size.
