488 Publishing
Editing Flash HTML settings
You need an HTML document to play a Flash SWF file in a web browser and specify browser
settings. If you are experienced with HTML, you can change or enter HTML parameters in
an HTML editor or create custom HTML files to control a Flash SWF file.
You can also have Flash create the HTML document automatically when you publish a SWF
file (see “Publishing Flash documents” on page 459). For information on customizing HTML
templates included in Flash, see “Customizing HTML publishing templates” on page 482.
Using object and embed tags
To display a Flash SWF file in a web browser, an HTML document must use the object and
embed
tags with the proper parameters.
For
object, four settings (height, width, classid, and codebase) are attributes that appear
within the
object tag; all others are parameters that appear in separate, named param tags, as
shown in the following example:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100"
height="100" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/
flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0">
<param name="movie" value="moviename.swf">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="quality" value="high">
</object>
For the embed tag, all settings (such as height, width, quality, and loop) are attributes that
appear between the angle brackets of the opening
embed tag, as shown in the following
example:
<embed src="moviename.swf" width="100" height="100" play="true"
loop="true" quality="high"

</embed>
