With the item selected on the page, look in the Actions palette to see the

available options:

• iPhone (WiFi/3G): By default this popup is set to None. If you don’t already

have an .m4v file to choose in the popup, click on the Generate button so

that Freeway will automatically generate and choose a version of the original

movie file used on the page, saved as an .m4v file for use on 3G and later

versions of the iPhone. If you have already created a file to offer, click on the

popup, choose Select then locate the file in the Open dialog and click Open.

• iPhone (EDGE): By default this popup is set to None. If you don’t already

have a .3gp file to choose in the popup, click on the Generate button so

that Freeway will automatically generate and choose a version of the original

movie file used on the page, saved as a .3gp file for use on earlier iPhones (up

to the original iPhone 3). If you have already created a file to offer, click on the popup, choose Select then locate the file in the Open

dialog and click Open.

• Poster frame: By default this popup is set to Automatic, which means that Freeway will choose the first frame of your movie and

display that as a clickable button for the visitor to click on to start the movie playing. If you wish to use a custom graphic you have

saved on your computer, choose it in this popup by clicking on Select….

• Message: This lets you choose the text (if you want to use any) on the poster frame to prompt the visitor to click on the movie’s

poster frame to make it start playing.

• Font: Choose the font in this popup to change the font used in the Message.

Note: If after applying the Action you see an error message telling you that you cannot use this Action, go to the Freeway menu (ie, the

dropdown menu to the right of the Apple menu in the top left of your screen) and choose Preferences. In here, make sure you have the

“Enable AppleScript in Actions” option checked and then click OK.

Flash

Adobe Flash was at one time the most popular way to offer feature-rich animated content on the web. However, with the advent of the

iPhone and iPad (neither of which support Flash) its popularity has waned and although it is still used on the web, it is more often used

as a “fallback” format for HTML5 movie content.

Flash content in Freeway normally comes in two different types of file—.ﬂv files (which are Flash video files) and .swf files (which are

files created in Flash for animation or for functionality to run on a timeline, such as a slideshow with animated effects).

We will cover Flash video files later, but to import a Flash .swf file simply drag and drop it onto the page or draw an HTML box and choose

Import… from the File menu then choose the .swf file to import. Unlike earlier versions of Freeway, Freeway 6 will not display the first

frame of the Flash file inside the item.

Unlike other plug-in content, it is possible to scale the Flash item. However, because dragging and dropping a Flash file onto the Freeway

page will mean the Width and Height popups for the item are set to Flexible, you will need to select the item, change the Width and

Height popups to Fixed and then you can rescale it to suit.

Note: If you try to import a Flash movie into a graphic item box, the

movies and other plug-in ﬁles will appear grayed out in the

Import dialog

list. Choose

All Files from the Show popup menu to make all items in the

list selectable. Freeway will convert the graphic item box into an HTML

item box on importing the Flash movie.

To set the parameters for the playback of the Flash file in the browser,

use the options in the Item Output panel of the Inspector palette:

• Loop: Causes the Flash file to be continuously replayed.

• Play: Causes the Flash file to play automatically when the page is

loaded.

• Quality: Four options are available for setting the quality of the

playback of the Flash file in the browser: Autohigh automatically

sets the quality at the highest that the browser can handle (this is

the default setting); Autolow automatically sets the quality at the

lowest setting; High forces the movie to be exported at the highest

quality; Low exports the movie at the lowest quality.

• Eolas Workaround: See QuickTime above.

• Alt Text: Determines whether alt text for image items is shown in the browser when the viewer has chosen not to display images. This

option is on by default.
