Hi all,
I’m having difficulty exporting my swf so that it can be viewed independently (i.e. not in an HTML document) and viewed on different machines. I view it perfectly fine, but when I want to view the swf at home, or on a MAC, initally the computer wants to open it in Illustrator and then doesn’t even open the file. And I’m sure that a Flash Player is installed, but how do I detect whether a Player is installed or not? I’ve set the Publish Settings to “Detect Flash Version” but I don’t really see that option being in use (esp since I’m not so interested in Publishing in HTML). On the MAC when the swf is trying to be viewed a message appears saying something along the lines of “authority needed to open file.” I’ve also tried viewing the projector file, but still to no luck. Btw, can .exe projector files be viewed on a MAC?
Actually what is the difference between Publishing and Exporting and even Test Movie? I’ve tried viewing my .swf after all 3 methods and when I maximize the viewing window of the swf my whole movie maximizes to the dimension of the window. How do I make it so that my movie is centered?
Any help, advice to any of the questions asked above is greatly appreciated!
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
