File
The swf format must be used when inserting Flash animations. In Edit mode, the Flash element is represented by the Flash logo . By default Web Creator inserts a Flash animation in the centre of the page.
Adjustments
Auto start: Means the animation will run as soon as the page is displayed.
Loop: The clip will run again as soon as it ends.
Full contextual menu on right click: If checked, you can right click on the Flash animation window to display a wide contextual menu which contains zoom, quality, and properties functions.
Quality: From Low to High. By reducing quality, the fluidity of the animation is higher and the download time shorter. Use this feature for big animations. Try to find the best compromise and use the Preview in Internet Explorer function to check the resulting quality.
Scale: Choose between:
Original Size: The clip's original proportions remain the same, while it fills the page with the animation.
Fill Window: Stretches the Flash animation to fill the window. This reduces the display quality.
Fill Window Clip if needed: Keeps the original size and proportions but clips the animation if the window is smaller.
Windows Mode: Choose between various options (Windows, opaque, transparent) to display the animation background.
Preview: Provides an idea of what the animation and gives an estimation of the download time using a 56 K modem.
