Publishing Flash


You want to "publish" your Flash sites to turn them in. We do this by selecting File> Publish Settings and then selecting one new file to publish your HTML and SWF files into. Then click Publish. BAM -> you now have a folder containing an html file, a swf movie, and a javascript file linking the two. You can now edit the html file to change background color, center your movie, title your page, etc.

Another Option


While we did not have time in the term to cover this, OSWD.org is another option for your final assignment. It is a collection of templates that utilize CSS (cascading style sheets) to create a layout. These are html sites that use a .css file to apply "style" to each page of the site, as opposed to having to style them individually.

Your option is to find and download a template you like and apply your content and tweak its style to fit your topic.
