19.4. Testing Inside a Web Page

In addition to letting you test your animation in Flash Player, Flash lets you test your animation embedded in a web page. This option lets you see how your animation looks in a web browser based on the animation alignment, scale, and size options Flash lets you set.

Here's how it works. You tell Flash in the Formats tab of the Publish Settings window (Figure 19-4, left) that you want to embed your animation in a web page. Then, in the HTML tab, you tell Flash how you want your animation to appear in the web page (Figure 19-4, right). When you choose File→Publish Preview→HTML, Flash constructs an HTML file containing your animation, and then loads it automatically into the web browser on your computer.
