Previewing the publishing format and settings

To preview your Flash movie with the publishing format and settings you've selected, you can use the Publish Preview command. This command exports the file and opens the preview in the default browser. If you preview a QuickTime movie, Publish Preview launches the QuickTime Movie Player. If you preview a projector, Flash launches the projector.

To preview a file with the Publish Preview command:

1 | Define the file's export options using the Publish Settings command; see Publishing Flash documents.
2 | Choose File > Publish Preview, and from the submenu choose the file format you want to preview.
| Using the current Publish Settings values, Flash creates a file of the specified type in the same location as the Flash document (FLA). This file remains in this location until you overwrite or delete it.
