Test download performance and publish the movie

To complete your document, you will use the Publish command to create a Web-compatible movie with the SWF extension.

If you use the Publish command with the default settings, Flash prepares your file for the Web. Flash will Publish the SWF and create an HTML file with the tags necessary to display the SWF.

Once you define the necessary Publish Settings options, you can repeatedly export to all selected formats at once by simply choosing File > Publish. Flash stores the publish settings you specify with the document, so each movie can have its own settings.

In this section, you'll learn how to complete the following tasks:

| Use the Bandwidth Profiler to test movie download performance
| Publish your movie in one step
| Review and modify publish settings
| View your movie in a Web browser

To complete this section, you can either continue to work on your mystiletto.fla file, or you can browse to your Flash MX application folder and open Tutorials/FlashIntro/stiletto7.fla. If you do use the stiletto7.fla file, save the file with a new name in your My_Stiletto folder to maintain an unadulterated version of the original file.
