Setting Shockwave playback options

To view Shockwave movies, your users must have the Shockwave player, which comes preinstalled on many computer systems. The player is also available for free downloading from Macromedia's Web site.

The Shockwave player includes a volume control and a standard context menu that appears when a user right-clicks (Windows) or Control-clicks (Macintosh) a movie. You can select specific playback options to include for your users when you save your movie as a Shockwave movie.

Shockwave movies loop by default. To cause a Shockwave movie to play only once, add the `Hold on Current Frame` behavior to the last frame of the movie.

To set Shockwave playback options:

1 | Choose File > Publish Settings.
| The Publish Settings dialog box appears.
2 | On the Shockwave tab, select the options you want your users to have:
| Volume Control lets users adjust the volume of the movie's soundtrack.
| Transport Control provides controls for rewinding, stopping, and stepping through the movie in Shockmachine.
| Zooming determines if stretchable Shockwave is allowed. You can disable zooming with Lingo by setting the `allowZooming` property. For more information, see the Lingo Dictionary.
| Save Local lets users save movies on their local computers for playback in Shockmachine.
| Display Progress Bar and Display Logo determine if the progress bar and logo appear while the movie loads in the browser.
