Publish Movie

Top  Previous  Next

When you movie is ready you will need to publish it in order to display the movie within the Control Pad.

1.Select File > Publish or click Publish in the Captivate toolbar.
2.Uncheck Export HTML. You’ll be using the Control Pad HTML file instead.
3.In the Flash Player Version drop-down menu, any value (7, 8, 9) is compatible with the Control Pad.
4.In the Folder field click Browse and navigate to the control_pad/flash folder.
5.Uncheck Publish to new folder to publish directly inside the /flash folder.
Alternatively, you can publish the movie to another location on your computer and then copy the movie (.SWF) to the control_pad/flash folder yourself.

 

Notes

Inside the /flash folder the sample.swf file is included in order to provide a working example file. You can delete the sample.swf file once you’ve published your own Captivate movie.
The filename of your .SWF file can follow any naming conventions you have. We recommend not including any space or special characters in the filename.
When you change the name of the Captivate movie, you’ll need to change the reference to this file in the .HTML page within the <head> tag. Instructions are included further on in this document.
