Exporting as a Flash file
Canvas now provides compatibility for designing Web content to be
used in a Flash®-enabled Web site. As a result, all Canvas
documents can be saved as an .SWF file. Choose the Macromedia
Flash (.swf) export option in the Save As dialog box.
After clicking the Save button, the Flash Options dialog box opens.
The resulting SWF files can then be displayed using either a Macro-
media Flash player or a browser containing the Macromedia Flash
plug-in.

General options
Export mode (A)
Macromedia Flash handles .SWF files in different ways than a Flash
player or a Flash plug-in. Therefore, you must export the Canvas file
using one of two possible modes: SWF Player or SWF Editor. The
difference between these two modes is as follows:
SWF Player
Creates an .SWF file for use in a Macromedia Flash player or a
compatible browser.
SWF Editor
Generates the .SWF file so that it may be imported into the
Macromedia Flash application.
Note: Exporting an .SWF file for use in an .SWF player
doesnt automatically mean that the file cannot be imported
into a .SWF editor or vise versa. However, to reduce possible
problems, we suggest that you export your Canvas file using a
mode that matches your specific Flash export needs.
Page export (B)
This feature allows you to have the option to save a multipage
document either as a single multiframe .SWF file or as a set of
individual .SWF files:
File with Frames - enables a multi-page Canvas document
to be exported as a single multiframe .SWF file.
