Customizing HTML publishing templates
If you’re familiar with HTML, you can modify HTML template variables to create an image
map, a text report, or a URL report, or to insert custom values for some of the most common
Flash
object and embed parameters (for Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator/
Navigator, respectively).
Flash templates can include any HTML content for your application or even code for special
interpreters such as ColdFusion and ASP.
To modify an HTML publishing template:
1. Using an HTML editor, open the Flash HTML template you want to change. These
templates can be found in the following locations:
For Windows operating systems:
Windows 2000 or Windows XP boot drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local
Settings\ Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\language\Configuration\HTML
■ The boot drive is the drive from which Windows 2000 or Windows XP boots (usually
C:).
■ The user is the name of the person logged in to the Windows 2000 or Windows XP
operating system.
■ The language is set to an abbreviated language name. For example, in the US, language
is set to “en” for English.
Windows 98 boot drive:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\language\
First Run\HTML
For Macintosh operating systems:
Macintosh OS X 10.3 and later Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/First
Run/HTML
2. Edit the template as needed.
■ For information on variables that Flash supports, see the table that follows this
procedure.
■ For information on creating an image map or a text or URL report, or to insert
custom values for
object and embed parameters, see the sections for those topics,
which follow this procedure.
NOTE
The Application Data folder is normally a hidden folder; you might need to
change your Windows Explorer settings to see this folder.
