Saving an SWF using SWiSHmax

Once you have created an animation you want to use on a Web page, you need to export an SWF file from SWiSHmax. SWF is the format supported by Web browsers that can be placed into any HTML page.

Here’s how to save an SWF:

  1. With your movie open, select File > Export > HTML + SWF. This exports both the SWF and the appropriate HTML code to embed the file in a Web page. Choose to export the HTML code if you need the code in order to embed the SWF in a Web page.  Other times you may already have the code, and only need to generate the SWF. If you only need the SWF, select File > Export > SWF.
  2. SWiSHmax opens the Publish SWiSHmax Movie window. Choose the location on your computer where you want to save your file, then click the Save button.
  3. SWiSHmax asks if you want to edit the HTML file that was exported. Select No.
  4. Your movie is now ready for Web use. You can open the HTML file with any text editor or HTML editor you are using, or use an HTML editor to place the SWF in a Web page. Remember to upload the SWF file to the Web server just as you would upload an image to a Web page.

Always be sure to test your SWF files once you upload them. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

on Choosing Blog Software

Hi,

The plugin I am using does NOT translate the posts, I think the best thing is to do the translations by human power. The plugin enables the user to choose which language to view the blog in, after the translations are done.

on Digital Cameras

The Canon E18 problem was associated with the older “A” series of cameras (A60, A70, etc). That camera has a fragile lens motor gearbox.
And it is one camera you should not take to the beach, because it was easy for sand to get into the gearbox.The gearbox has been redesigned and the problem apparently resolved.
Preventative measures are mostly just common sense.Don’t drop the camera and handle it with normal care.

on Choosing a Web Host

This is certainly great advise as we were all enticed by these kinds of specs when we first started blogging. Then you hit the front page of Digg and wonder why your site went down almost instantly. The bottom line is, it’s virtually impossible to even come CLOSE to hitting those specs without crashing your server (on a shared plan). As you mentioned, you end up sharing space with hundreds of others and end up with a SLOW loading blog.

on Why Traffic Matters

What the tel cos can gain first is a much better take rate. Given that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the customers this is not a little gain. Then should they end up offering “real” BB instead of the bogus one that they are smuggling for BB, meaning symmetrical connections starting at leat at 10 Mbit/sec, with applications that will require it they can get more money from customers than they do today.

on Choosing a Web Host

Wordpress has become the most popular used platform in its category. A recent search i conducted on Alexa.com found wordpress.com to be number 22 in there top 500 most visited websites “globally”.

Wordpress not only can be used to build a blog but people are also using it to develop websites, because it is so easy to update.
