When placing an image on a web page your image should be only as large as it needs to be to display correctly on the page. If your image is too large (800 x 600) and you resize it within the Dreamweaver application by dragging its corners, the file size is not reduced, just the visual size of the image. If you reduce the image size in Photoshop to display the correct size on the web page, you can save file space/size and allow the viewer to view the image much quicker. (For example: An image sized at 800 x 600 could be a 2MB file. If that file is reduced to the size needed on the page, e.g., 360 x 413, the file size can be brought down to 436k. This file is easier for someone to view on a web page through their network connection and saves space on the server.

Now that you know how to create animations and working interactivity with Flash the only remaining section to show you is how to export your finished product to the web and beyond. Accompanying this tutorial is a downloadable zip file you can use as an example to try out exporting or you can use any of the previous animations you have created during these tutorials. First save your working file or “.FLA” by going to File > Save. This is not web ready and should not be distributed. Next we can look at creating files for distribution to the web and CDROM. The procedure is known as Publishing as the term Export in Flash refers to other graphical optimisation processes. To view your options go to File > Publish Settings…

File Size
Working with Photoshop means working with large files; manipulating those files increases their sizes considerably. Therefore managing file size is critical, as it affects the performance of the computer, the storage options, and most importantly for significant number of IC users, the space it occupies on the screen. File size can by cut by first reducing the file resolution to fit the output medium (print, email, web..); second by reducing the pixels dimension; third by changing the file format, which is the final step before the image is ready to be exported. For the image to fit within the screen, the pixel dimension should be less than the pixel dimension of the monitor ( 800×600 for a standard 15 inch monitor screen, 1152×864 for IC monitors).

1. Here’s the original vector-based logo we created for John.
Lightning uses a simple chrome-airbrush fade,done with gradient fills pasted into the lettering. Signs was made prismatic by hand in Freehand.Then we added some gradients to the different sides of the letter.We then saved the file as an MS-DOS PC .EPS file,and added an outline path,which Roland’s ColorChoice RIP recognizes as the cutline.John was then able to scale and print this logo at any size he needed.What we needed for Photoshop was a CMYK .EPS file,so we saved it as that and then imported into Photoshop and rasterized it.

Before getting started, it’s important to know the difference between a Flash authoring file (.fla) and a Shockwave Flash file (.swf). When you start working in Flash, you’ll be working in a .fla document. However, in order to view your final work in the Flash Player, you’ll need to “publish” your file as a .swf. (To do this, see step VI of this document.) *If you don’t have Flash Player installed on your computer, get the free download here: http://www.adobe.com/. Select “Get Adobe Flash Player”.

The Paper Catalog files and the PPD file for Windows operating systems are installed in the default folder by multiple software utilities. You can modify the location during the installation. If you move the location after the installation, you must remap or update the associated file paths for the software utilities.

These instructions are specific to the Windows operating system, but Mac users can
certainly figure out where the slight differences occur.
Video file
Start with a finished, edited video file that has already been exported from a video editing program, such as Premiere, iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, or Final Cut Pro. Output the file at a width of 320 (pixels). Use the 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio to get the proper proportions for the video you shot. How to choose this option varies in different editing programs. Choose a frame rate for export that is half the frame rate of your video (15 for NTSC and 12 for PAL). The most common file types for export are AVI and MOV. Either one is okay.
