Re: FLASH: File Formats/Plugins/Oy ve!

Hi Russell,

> that if you PUBLISH a page and save it as F4, the code is as follows:

>  swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"

This depends on which template you select in 

File > Publish Settings > HTML > Template

and not whether you export as Flash 3 or Flash 4.


For Flash 3 change to:

>  swflash.cab#version=3,0,0,0"


Most of MM Flash support know about this, or should.

You can change this code from 4 to 3, so that your Win IE Flash 3

visitors aren't forced into getting Flash 4 when your page only uses

Flash 3.


There is at least one supplied Publish template that is already set for

Flash 3 and it is called 'Flash 3 with image'.


You can (and should) modify or create a new template to meet any special

and regular needs you have.


Next week, I will start supplying instructions on modifying templates

plus I have some more templates that will be available from FC to help

make creating the HTML for Flash much easier.
