The Flash Extras Action

This Freeway Action offers additional functionality for Flash items when

used on your Freeway page. With the item selected, go to Item>Actions

and choose Flash Extras.

• Edit Movie: This provides access to a further set of options that control

settings within the movie (these affect the published movie but are not

reflected in Freeway’s preview).

• Scale Movie: This scales the movie to the size of its box. If this is not

selected, the movie will be clipped by its box.

• Protect Movie: Flash movies have an internal setting that prevents

them being opened and edited in Flash authoring software. If your

movie is not already protected, this option is enabled. Setting this

parameter will force Freeway to publish a protected movie.

• Change BG Color: This allows you to change the background color within the movie. There are two options: Item sets the color to

be that of containing item, while Other displays a color popup from which you can choose a specific color.

• Links: Following the color options is a list of up to twenty links if URLs have been defined in the Flash movie. These are labeled with

the link text followed by a number. If the movie has no links you will see no further parameters. If the movie has more than twenty

links then only the first twenty are shown. The popup associated with the link allows you to link to any page within your Freeway

Document or to an external URL (if you leave the popup at None, the original link is unchanged). Setting links for your Flash movie

using the Flash Extras Action means that those links will be managed by Freeway.

The FLV Player Action

This Freeway Action offers greater support for a Flash .flv movie file to be used on a Freeway page, so that iOS device users (iPhone, iPod

Touch and iPad) will be automatically offered the movie as a QuickTime movie as an alternative. We do recommend, however, that you

import the original movie as an H.264 encoded .mp4 or .m4v file so it can be output as HTML5 video instead (see earlier in this section)

as that will mean the movie will viewable on the maximum number of browsers and devices.

To use the Action, click and hold on the Action tool on Freeway’s tool bar, choose FLV Player, draw an item on the page and then look

in the Actions palette to see the options available:

• FLV File: Click and hold on this popup, choose Select…, locate the FLV file you

wish to offer on your page then 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…

• Choose Frame: If you know the time of a frame within the movie that you

would like to use for the poster frame, enter the time in this field.

• Autoplay: If you want the movie to play automatically (without needing to click

on a play button) check this option. Because a poster frame is not required for an

autoplay movie, the Poster Frame and Choose Frame options will not appear if

the Autoplay option is checked.

• Loop: If you want the movie to play over and over (rather than playing through

to the end and stopping, which is the default behavior), check this option.

• Player: Click and hold on this popup to choose the “skin” you want to use for

your movie. There are three preset ones to choose from: HTML5 (which outputs

the file with an HTML5 fallback file), Over (which displays the controller bar

above the movie) and Under (which displays the controller bar below the movie).

Choose Custom Player so you can choose to use your own player file if you already have one to use.

• Player File: If you choose Custom Player in the Player popup, choose the file you want to use for your custom player in this popup.

• Actionscript: By default this popup is set to use the later version of Actionscript 3. If know that the player you want to use is built

using Actionscript 2, choose 2 in this popup.

• Hide player: Checking this option will hide the movie item on your Freeway page.

• iPhone/iPad Compatibility: Checking this option will make the options below active.

• 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.
