(CUT AND PASTE) Flash 4 Help File
Use the Publish command to prepare all the required files for a complete Flash application on the web. Publish prepares not only the Flash movie itself for the web, but creates alternate images in a variety of formats that display automatically if a Flash player is not available. Publish creates the supporting HTML document required to display a movie (or an alternate image) in a browser and control browser settings
When you choose an image format such as GIF, JPEG, or PNG, Flash automatically add's the required HTML code to display the image if the Flash player is not available
