Publishing Flash documents 467
Opaque Windowless sets the background of the Flash content to opaque, obscuring
anything underneath the Flash content. Opaque Windowless lets HTML content appear
above or on top of Flash content.
Transparent Windowless sets the background of the Flash content to transparent. This
allows the HTML content to appear above and below the Flash content.
See the table following this procedure for browsers that support windowless modes.
9. Select one of the following HTML Alignment options to position the Flash SWF window
in the browser window:
Default centers the Flash content in the browser window and crops edges if the browser
window is smaller than the application.
Left, Right, Top, or Bottom align SWF files along the corresponding edge of the browser
window and crop the remaining three sides as needed.
10. Select a Scale option to place the Flash content within specified boundaries, if you’ve
changed the document’s original width and height. The Scale option sets the
SCALE
parameter in the
object and embed tags.
Default (Show All) shows the entire document in the specified area without distortion
while maintaining the original aspect ratio of the SWF files. Borders can appear on two
sides of the application.
No Border scales the document to fill the specified area and keeps the SWF file’s original
aspect ratio without distortion, cropping the SWF file if needed.
Exact Fit displays the entire document in the specified area without preserving the
original aspect ratio, which can cause distortion.
No Scale prevents the document from scaling when the Flash Player window is resized.
11. Select a Flash Alignment option to set how the Flash content is placed within the
application window and how it is cropped, if necessary. This option sets the
SALIGN
parameter of the
object and embed tags.
■ For Horizontal alignment, select Left, Center, or Right.
■ For Vertical alignment, select Top, Center, or Bottom.
12. Select Show Warning Messages to show error messages if tag settings conflict—for
example, if a template has code referring to an alternate image that has not been specified.
13. To save the settings with the current file, click OK.
NOTE
In some instances, complex rendering in Transparent Windowless mode can result in
slower animation when the HTML images are also complex.
