Review answers
1 The Bandwidth Profiler provides information such as the overall file size, the total
number of frames, the dimensions of the Stage, and how your data is distributed
throughout your frames. You can use the Bandwidth Profiler to preview how your final
project might behave under different download environments.
2 To ensure that your movie plays as expected in Web browsers, upload the Flash SWF file
and the HTML document that tells the browser how to display the SWF file. You also
need to upload the swfobject.js file, if one was published, and any files your SWF file
references, such as video or other SWF files; be sure that they are in the same relative
location (usually the same folder as the final SWF file) as they were on your hard drive.
3 Select Detect Flash Version in the HTML tab in the Publish Settings dialog box to
automatically detect the version of Flash Player on a viewer’s computer. Some Flash
features require specific versions of Flash Player to play as expected.
4 Metadata is information about data. Metadata includes a document’s title, a
description, keywords, the date the file was created, and any other information about
the document. Metadata in a Flash document is published with the Flash file, making
it easy for others to identify the project.
5 A projector is a stand-alone application that includes all the information necessary to
play the movie without a browser, so people who don’t have the Flash Player or who
don’t have the current version can view your movie.
