Exporting as Flash
You can export a drawing to Adobe's SWF Flash format (static). This is best suited to vector designs,
and can provide very small file sizes. You can then use the SWF in a website, or import it into Flash for
use in Flash animations.
You can also create animated Flash. See Flash Animations
for more details on Flash export.
Exporting as AVI
Select File > Export animation and choose the AVI type from the type list. Click the Options
button on the file dialog to change the codec and other settings used for the export.
Exporting as Windows metafiles (.wmf)
Files in this format can be read by Word and several other programs.
Exporting as Extended Metafile Format (EMF)
Modern Windows applications support this enhanced type of vector graphic format. This format is also
available to applications that provide a Paste Special menu option.
Note that Web Designer MX Premium can contain features, such as advanced fill styles, that cannot be
represented in vector formats such as EMF. In this case parts of the image will be exported as bitmaps.
Those vector parts that can be exported as vectors are exported as vectors.
Quick export of HTML and web graphics formats
You can use the dedicated options in the File menu to quickly export web pages and web graphics,
without selecting the formats from the full list of available export formats shown when you use "File" >
"Export
".

"File" > "Export website": Export the current website document to a location of your choice
on your computer.

"File > "Export JPEG": Export the current selection, or current page, to a JPEG file.

"File" > "Export PNG": Export the current selection, or current page, to a PNG file.
For more information, see the Getting Started chapter.
Exporting as a bitmap
JPEG, GIF and PNG are universal formats supported by most modern computer applications. PNG is
the highest quality. JPEG is better suited to photographic work, but can produce acceptable, compact
files (you can control the quality and file size).
GIF format only supports 256 colors, and although common on many websites, PNG is a better format.
PNG also supports semi-transparent graphics (use the True Color + Alpha option), but this is not
correctly supported by older Microsoft Internet Explorer versions (it is by all other web browsers).
The fewer colors you have in a file, the smaller the file and the lower the quality. However, when using
256 colors or less Web Designer MX Premium provides very advanced techniques to simulate a much
wider range of colors, and so you can get very high, near photographic quality results using only 256
colors or less.
