I’m new to Flash, and thought that I would see if this forum could answer my question.
In Flash MX (on a PC) when I access the Publish settings and set the HTML setting to Detect for Flash"x" I receive the following error message. Does anyone know what it means?
“The HTML template for this document contains a tag which requires additional formats to be selected and published. Publish will proceed without creating this file. Publish will write the corresponding filename to the destination HTML file.”
If I try to publish after seeing this message, the resulting HTML file doesn’t work.
What gives?
