WEB EDITOR

Working with: Flash Objects

EZGenerator allows you to embed Macromedia Flash objects (*.swf) in your web pages. All the required HTML code is automatically generated by EZGenerator when you export the site.

To insert a Flash object:

Position the text marker where you want to insert the Flash object.
Right-click and select span class="term">Insert Flash Object from the menu.
Select a Flash movie file (*.swf) from the open file dialog.

Note, that the Flash contents are not directly previewed in the Web Editor. Instead, you will see this graphic (matching the size of the Flash object):

Publish the site or create an offline preview of the page to see the actual Flash contents.

Flash Properties

Once the object is inserted, you can double-click the preview image to access its properties window. The following properties are available:

Src (text box) - Displays the Flash object source file name (read only field).
Quality (combo box) - Sets the Flash rendering quality (anti-aliasing level). The available values are high (default), medium, low and best.
Wmode (transparency) (check box) - Toggles the Flash Transparent property on and off.(this will only work with flash objects with Transparent support enabled).
Width (number box) - The width of the object. If % (percent) is selected from the combo box, the width is accepted as a percentage value (relative to the web page width), otherwise the value is accepted as width in pixels.
Height (number box) - The height of the object. If % (percent) is selected in the combo box, the height is accepted as a percentage value (relative to the web page height), otherwise the value is accepted as height in pixels.
Scale (number box) - Works together with the dimension settings to determine how a Flash player movie will be displayed in a browser. You can choose between default, noborder and exactfit.
Allow Full Screen (check box) - If checked, will allow Full Screen mode for the flash object.
Parameters (text box) - The Flash objects can accept a set of custom parameters in the form of a query string. The actual parameters will differ for each individual animation (or they might not be supported at all). Consult with the Flash object vendor if you need to enter parameters in this box, otherwise leave it empty.
Loop (check box) - Toggles the Flash Loop property on and off (this will only work with flash objects with loop support enabled).
Autoplay (check box) - Toggles the Flash Autoplay property on and off (this will only work with flash objects with loop support enabled). For EZGenerator Flash Gallery, this option will force autostart of slidehsow.
