Lesson 12. Publishing a Flash Web Site

I l @ ve RuBoard

You're almost ready to put your Macromedia Flash Web site on the Internet. First you need to add a preloader, and then you'll publish the files. A preloader will ensure that the necessary files have downloaded completely before the movie plays. You already split the whole site up into several files; your visitors won't have to download the entire site ”just the files they want to view.

The completed ZooMX Web site.
