Summary

This hour discussed all the common ways to export Flash movies. Other, less traditional, applications, such as using projectors, static images, QuickTime video, and image sequences, were also discussed.

For the traditional .swf in HTML option, Publish gives you a nice interface to select options; then Flash actually creates the files for you. Templates can include code to optionally supply users with an alternative image. Also, other options in the Publish Settings dialog box let you specify how such an image will be exported.

Less-traditional applications, such as using projectors and QuickTime video, can give your Flash movies a life beyond the normal web page application. Some of these technologies are on the edge of innovation, and now you have a better idea where you can take Flash!
