•
To congure the appearance and function of the SWF interface,
select and edit a theme. Read about using themes in #64, “Specify-
ing a Theme.”
2. In the Playback tab, choose settings for playing the presentation:
•
Select “Auto play on start” to have the presentation begin immedi-
ately after loading. Otherwise the user has to click the Play button
on the presentation’s interface to start the presentation.
•
Presenter runs the presentation once and then stops by default; if
you want it to loop—like presentations used in a kiosk or public
display—select Loop presentation.
•
Select “Include slide numbers in outline” if you want to include slide
numbers in the Outline pane of the presentation (a handy option
for dierent presenters with varying levels of familiarity with the
content).
•
If you want the presentation to stop after a slide’s animation is com-
plete, choose “Pause after each animation.” That way, a viewer has time
to make notes or check out the nished slide before continuing.
•
Slides display according to the length of their audio or video; for
slides without media, specify a display time in seconds. The default
is 5 seconds.
3. In the Quality tab, choose image and audio qualities based on how you
intend to use the presentation.
•
Click the Publish For drop-down arrow and choose from My Com-
puter, Adobe Connect Pro, or Adobe PDF to automatically optimize
the levels, or select the options manually.
•
Select the Control Preloading check box, and choose either “Down-
load slides completely before playback” or “Disable preloading of
embedded Flash content,” based on your presentation’s character-
istics. Read about the dierences in the sidebar “To Preload or Not
to Preload: That Is the Question.”
•
Save some time conguring future projects by selecting the “Use
these settings for new presentations” check box.
#63: Creating a Presenter Publication
Exceptions to the Rules
For the most part, Presenter
default choices for image
quality are fine—with a few
exceptions. To prevent blurry
content, be sure to set image
quality to high in your pres-
entation if it includes charts,
Smart Art, Word Art, Quick
Styles, or shapes using
3D effects, like shadows.
You can view presentations
on mobile devices such as
cell phones and PDAs that
use Flash Lite 3. If you intend
your output for mobile
devices, use the low-quality
setting for images and audio
to reduce the size of the
finished file.
What about
Playing Flash?
You don’t have to worry
about installing Flash Player,
or whether you have the
right version. The latest ver-
sion of the Flash Player (Flash
Player 9) is installed when
you install Presenter.
