Part I ✦ Getting Started with SWiSHmax

If the stand-alone Flash Player is not detected on your system, SWiSHmax uses a projector

installed with the program.

Read more about testing movies in Chapter 22.

SWiSHmax offers you several ways to export a movie. The options include:

✦ SWF (Shockwave Flash)

✦ SWF and HTML

✦ EXE file (a stand-alone executable file that doesn’t require a player to run)

✦ AVI (video format)

In this section, you learn how to export the Web page as well as the Flash movie. To export

the movie and its Web page, follow these steps:

1. Click File ➪ Export ➪ HTML + SWF. The Publish SWiSHmax Movie dialog box appears.

You learn how to create other forms of exports in Chapter 22.

2. Browse to the location where you want to store the file, and change the name if

desired. By default, both the sample movie and Web page use the project name.

3. Click Save to save the files. The Publish SWiSHmax Movie dialog box closes.

By default, the files are named using the .swi file name and stored in the main SWiSHmax

folder on your hard drive.

4. A dialog box opens asking if you want to edit the HTML file. Click No to close the

dialog box.

5. Open your Web browser.

6. Click File ➪ Open and click Browse.

7. Navigate to the folder where you saved your project file and select it from the list.

Click OK. The page loads, and your movie plays.

Copies of the logo.swf and logo.html files are available on the book’s Web site in the chapter01

folder.

Chapter 23 describes how to use your movie and an exported Web page in a number of dif-

ferent programs.
