Re: FLASH: What is Afterburner?

They probably meant "Aftershock". This was the utility used in Flash 2 and

3 to write various types of HTML and JavaScript.


Today you have the extensible "Publish" options in Flash 4. Aftershock is

no longer needed in Flash 4. You can add your own HTML/JS templates for

precisely the type of output you prefer.



(Afterburner was a standalone compression utility for Director 4 and 5. It

was replaced by the "Save as Shockwave" menu item in Director 6. Director

still uses Aftershock 2.5 to generate HTML and JavaScript. Dreamweaver can

also configure OBJECT/EMBED tags and does some rudimentary browser

detection. If using Adobe's GoLive for your Flash work, please be sure to

paste in Flash's own HTML and JavaScript rather than assigning a simple

"plugin" tag in GoLive.)
