Publish your movie for the Web in one step

Amazingly, Director can create a Web-friendly Shockwave version of your movie in one step.

To publish your move, save it and choose File > Publish.

Using the default Publish settings, Director creates a Shockwave version of your movie in the same directory as your original movie. Your browser window opens and your Shockwave movie plays.

Change Publish settings

When you use the Publish command, you take advantage of Director's default Publish settings, or you can modify them with the Publish Settings dialog box.

For the tutorial movie, rather than use the default HTML template specified in the Publish Settings dialog box, you'll use a special HTML page designed for GardenChat.

1 | In Director, choose File > Publish Settings.
| The Publish Settings dialog box appears.
2 | On the Formats tab, choose No HTML Template from the HTML Template pop-up menu.
3 | Save your movie and then choose File > Publish. Click OK at the prompt to overwrite your previous DCR file.
| When you save your movie, Director also saves any changes you've made to the Publish Settings dialog box. The next time you want to publish your movie in the same way, you can simply choose File > Publish without having to modify Publish settings.
