FLASH CS3 452 User Guide Color Depth Designate whether the PICT file is object based or bitmap. Object-based images generally look better when printed, and scaling doesn't affect their appearance. Bitmap PICT images normally look best onscreen and can be manipulated in applications such as Adobe Photoshop. You can also select a variety of color depths with bitmap PICT files. Include Postscript Available only for an object-based PICT file to include information that optimizes printing on a PostScript printer. This information makes the file larger and some applications might not recognize it. Smooth Bitmap Available only for bitmap PICT images. Applies anti-aliasing to smooth jagged edges of a bitmap image. PNG Sequence and PNG Image The PNG export settings options are similar to the PNG publish settings options (which you can apply as well), with the following exceptions: Dimensions Sets the size of the exported bitmap image to the number of pixels you enter in the Width and Height fields. Resolution Enter a resolution in dpi. To use the screen resolution and maintain the aspect ratio of your original image, select Match Screen. Colors The same as the Bit Depth option in the PNG Publish Settings tab and sets the number of bits per pixel to use in creating the image. For a 256-color image, select 8-bit; for thousands of colors, select 24-bpc; for thousands of colors with transparency (32 bpc) select 24-bpc with Alpha. The higher the bit depth, the larger the file. Include Select to export the minimum image area or specify the full document size. Filter Options match those in the PNG Publish Settings tab. See also "Specify publish settings for PNG files" on page 428 About QuickTime Flash provides two methods of exporting Flash documents as QuickTime: QuickTime export Exports a QuickTime file that can be distributed as streaming video, on a DVD, or used in a video editing application such as Adobe® Premiere®. QuickTime export is intended for users who want to distribute Flash content, such as animation, in the Quicktime video format. Be aware that the performance of the computer used to export QuickTime video may affect the quality of the video. If Flash is unable to export each frame, it will drop frames, resulting in poor video quality. If you encounter dropped frames, try using either a faster computer with more memory, or reduce the frames per second of the Flash document. Publish as QuickTime Creates an application with a Flash track in the same QuickTime format installed on your computer. This lets you combine the interactive features of Flash with the multimedia and video features of QuickTime in a single QuickTime 4 movie, which anyone with QuickTime 4 or later can view. If you import a video clip (in any format) into a document as an embedded file, you can publish the document as a QuickTime movie. If you import a video clip in QuickTime format into a document as a linked file, you can also publish the document as a QuickTime movie.
