Previewing and exporting Interactive layouts
The process of developing Interactive layouts is usually an iterative one, where a designer
repeatedly previews the exported layout while working. Testing is critical to ensure that
the completed project works the way the designer intends it to work. To address this need,
QuarkXPress makes previewing a one-click operation and supplies a Usage feature for
checking on the various media files used in a project.
After testing is complete, a project is ready to export. The SWF format is designed to be
highly customizable, so that you can export a project in a format that works best for your
project's target medium. QuarkXPress provides access to almost all of the customizable
options available for the SWF format.
