# Publishing movies as Flash files

You can publish Captivate movies as Flash SWF files and then use these Flash files independently or include them in web pages.

#### To publish a movie as a Flash file (SWF):

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the File menu, select Publish.

3. In the Publish dialog box, select Flash (SWF).

4. In Movie Title, enter the desired name without the file extension (SWF).

5. In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.

6. Select from the following output options:

   Zip files: This option creates a ZIP file containing the Flash (SWF) file. (A program like WinZip can be used to open the files.)

   Full screen: This option opens the Flash file in full screen mode.

   Note: If you select AICC output options and scoring, you cannot select the Full Screen option during the export process because AICC output uses framesets.

   Export HTML: This option exports the HTML code necessary to add the Flash file to a web page.

7. The Movie information area displays useful statistics about the movie including the size (resolution), number of slides, audio information, eLearning details, and the playback control assigned to the movie. To change many of the options listed in this area, click Preferences.

8. When you are done, click Publish.
