SWFBanner

The "Global" panel is used to set some global attributes of the generated Flash movie. Its user interface is shown below:



"Show context menu": By default, when you right-click the Flash movie, the context menu pops up. The menu includes functions such as Zoom In, Zoom Out, Print, etc. You can uncheck this option to remove these menu items from the context menu of the generated Flash movie.

"Frame width": It sets the width of the Flash movie in pixels. "Frame height": It sets the height of the Flash movie in pixels.

"Frame rate": It defines the playback speed of the generated Flash movie in frames per second.

"Loop count": By default, the Flash movie created by SWFBanner will loop through the scenes according to their order. This means, when the playing of the last scene is complete, the control will switch back to the first one automatically and restart playing. You can enter the number of loops in "Loop count". If the value is zero, all the scenes in the Flash movie will loop infinitely.

"Preloader": The preloader is inserted at the start of a generated Flash movie to display its download proportion. It is very suitable for some large Flash movies that download longer. The preloader automatically created by SWFBanner uses a bar to visually display the download proportion of the Flash. Besides, you can select a padding color for the bar.

"Border": If this option is selected, the created Flash movie will be surrounded by a border. You can specify the color of the border based on your need.

"Compress output": If this option is checked, the created Flash movie will be compressed. Compared with an uncompressed Flash movie, a compressed Flash movie is smaller in size, so it occupies less disk space and requires less download bandwidth, and it can be downloaded faster.

"Freeze last text on final loop": If this option is checked, after all the loops of the scenes in the Flash movie are complete, the last text paragraph of the last scene will be kept.

"End URL": If this option is checked, after the playback of the Flash movie is complete, the specified URL will be opened automatically in the Web browser. "Target": Set the name of the window or frame in which to open the page. You can choose a preset value from the drop-down list, or enter the name of the window or frame directly. "Show skip intro": If this option is checked, a "Skip intro" link will be created at the bottom right of the Flash movie, by clicking which the address specified for "End URL" will be opened automatically in the Web browser. Besides, you can specify the color of the "Skip intro" link.

"Background URL": If this option is checked, when you left-click the background of the Flash, the specified URL address will be opened in a Web browser automatically. "Target": Set the name of the window or frame in which to open the page. You can choose a preset value from the drop-down list, or enter the name of the window or frame directly.

"Background music": It is used to select the background music for the whole Flash movie. It will be played repeatedly during the whole period when the Flash movie is displayed. Select this option first, and then click the "..." button on the right to select and add a local sound file. The current version of SWFBanner supports sound files in MP3 format. Besides, you can also set loop count for the background music. A value of zero means infinite loop.
