Flash
Flash is an extremely popular format for playing animated video, particularly over the internet. The Flash player plugin is installed in virtually all internet browsers, so this format is widely compatible with PC and Macs.
Exporting in Flash format actually creates two separate files: a SWF file and a HTML file. The SWF (Flash) file is your actual movie, the HTML file is a web page that will display your movie. Once you export in Flash Movie format, you should upload all files to your web server, thus publishing your movie on the internet.
- SWF - File Name
Enter flash(.swf) file name. You do not need to include the filename extension (.swf).
Flash Options...
|
|
You should select the first option (JPEG Compression) if you created your movie by importing image files. Doing so will render the best quality movie possible, however, the size of the Flash file will also consequently increase.
The second option is recommended in the case that your movie was created using either the 'Take screen shot' or 'Full-Motion recording' method.
Select Grayscale if would like to render your movie in grayscale.

- HTML
This option exports the HTML code necessary to add a Flash(.swf) file to a web page.
- HTML - File Name
Enter html file name. You do not need to include the filename extension (.html).
Edit HTML Content
|
 |
You are free to edit the HTML content however you see fit (to display the movie within a custom HTML web page of your choosing).
However, the HTML file also contains the following special code that should not be altered:
<!--NAME-->
<!--STYLE-->
<!--SCRIPT-->
<!--MOVIE--> |
|
- HTML - Color
Select the background color of the page.
- HTML - Adjust Size
You can change the size of the flash movie to fit your specifications. Moreover, you may choose to have the flash movie fit the browser window or you can specify new dimensions.
Note: Please understand that there are differences between 'movie resizing' and 'html movie resizing'. The 'html movie resizing' option attempts to stretch the movie to comply with the dimensions specified, while also maintaining the previous aspect ratio. However, this option may distort your movie if drastically downscaling.
- Learning Management System
Select this option if you want to upload your movie to an LMS. (e.g. Moodle)
Demo Builder is fully compliant with SCORM 1.2/2004 and AICC Learning Management Systems.
Check the 'Zip Files' box to compress all the files into a single zip file.
e.g. moviename_aicc.zip, moviename_scorm12.zip, moviename_scorm2004.zip
