Publishing Flash documents 459
The security configuration file is a text file placed in the same folder as the Flash Player
installer. The Flash Player installer reads the configuration file during installation and follows
its security directives. Flash Player exposes the configuration file to ActionScript using the
System object.
With the configuration file, you can disable access by Flash Player to the camera or
microphone, limit the amount of local storage Flash Player can use, control the auto-update
feature, and block Flash Player from reading anything from the user’s local hard disk.
For more information about security, see System in ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
Publishing Flash documents
To publish a Flash document, you select publish file formats and file format settings with the
Publish Settings dialog box. Then you publish the Flash document using the Publish
command. The publishing configuration that you specify in the Publish Settings dialog box is
saved with the document. You can also create and name a publish profile so that the
established publish settings are always available.
Depending on the options you specify in the Publish Settings dialog box, the Publish
command creates the following files:
■ The Flash SWF file
■ Alternate images in a variety of formats that appear automatically when Flash Player is not
available (GIF, JPEG, PNG, and QuickTime)
■ The supporting HTML document(s) required to show SWF content (or an alternate
image) in a browser and control browser setting
■ Three HTML files (if you keep the default, Detect Flash Version, selected): the detection
file, the content file, and the alternate file
■ Stand-alone projector files for Windows and Macintosh computers and QuickTime
videos from Flash content (EXE, HQX, or MOV files, respectively)
For information on publish settings, see “Configuring publish settings for Flash Player
detection” on page 468. For general information, see “Specifying publish settings that create
HTML documents with embedded Flash content” on page 464.
NOTE
To alter or update a SWF file created with the Publish command, you must edit the
original Flash document and then use the Publish command again to preserve all
authoring information. Importing a Flash SWF file into Flash removes some of the
authoring information.
