Publishing the File with HTML and Version Detection
When you finish your Flash document, you are ready to publish it so it can be viewed in a browser.
When you publish a FLA file, Flash compresses it into the SWF file format. This is the format that
you place in a web page. The Publish command can automatically generate an HTML file with the
correct tags in it for you.
To publish the Flash file and view it in a browser:
1. Select File > Publish Settings.
2. In the Publish Settings dialog box, select the Formats tab and verify that only the Flash and
HTML options are selected.
This action causes Flash to publish only the Flash SWF file and an HTML file. The HTML file
is used to display the SWF file in a web browser.

3. In the Publish Settings dialog box, select the HTML tab and verify that Flash Only is selected
in the Template pop-up menu.
