Creating files for web deployment |
|
You have all your swf files ready and the presentation previews well in Blaze 3D Studio. So how do you deploy this on a website?
You need to create a Blaze Project file and tell the Studio which swfs will be used. Here are the minimal steps: - Open Blaze 3D Studio.
- Drag in your top level swf. It will start playing in the preview window.
- From the tabbed section on the left, select the 'Project' tab. Underneath 'Project uses the following files:' should be all the files used by your project. If there are additional files you want included, drag them in here.
- Make sure the 'Launch swf' is your top level swf.
- Go to the 'HTML' tab.
- Click on 'Create HTML'
When the progress bar has finished, an html page will launch in your default browser and your main swf will begin playing. Looking in your project directory, there will be two changes. You will now have a file called 'holomatix.jar'. You will also have an html file named after your launch swf. This was written automatically by the Studio and shows the html that you need to add to the web page that will display the applet. The html is set up assuming the resources are in the same directory as the html page. You can save the project settings in a Blaze Project file (.blp). From the 'File' menu, choose 'Save As...' and save the file with your project. So, to deploy the presentation on your website, you need to: Upload all your swfs, and other resources used by the swfs such as xml files. Upload holomatix.jar Copy the <applet> tag from the html file into the page where you want your 3d Flash presentation to appear.
