Re: FLASH: Publish 3 and 4

"Not to jump on the bandwagon with Russ here but what I think Russ has

been saying is why didn't you guys code it to go to the template with 3

if the developer chose 3 and 4 if they chose 4? Doesn't seem like that

would be such a stretch for  aprogrammer and it is probably what 9% of

people would assume is going to happen if they save in 3 format."

This is starting to look like some of the ridiculous posts about 7.0.2

on another list.

I think what is lacking here is an undestanding of what publish does.

Publish is intended as a tool that helps to produce the html for Flash

movies. As any good tool it is fully configurable and accomodates some

basic choices when run without any further customization. The basic set

of templates are just that, a basic set.

One of these templates is the default template. This template correctly

defines the required Flash player as being version 4. I think this is

perfectly normal as we are after all talking about Flash 4. Now what is

being asked for is that using this template and chosing to export the

movie as Flash3 it should change behaviour. Why ? This does not make any

sense. If you want to publish a Flash 3 movie you have another template

that should be used. If the Flash 3 template isn't to your liking

because it also produces an alternative image then build a template for

your use. This takes about 30 seconds to do.
