Setting plug-in preferences

The Plug-ins Preferences dialog box lets you assign media file types to the plug-ins currently installed in the Plug-ins folder within your Adobe GoLive program folder. This allows Adobe GoLive to play back media files using the appropriate resources.

To assign a new media file type to a plug-in:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences.

2 Select the Plug-ins icon.

3 Click New.

4 Enter a media file type (type) and a valid MIME type (subtype) in the Mime Type text box. (MIME, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension, is a file type identifier for files sent across the Internet.)

5 If Adobe GoLive has the appropriate plug-in, it recognizes the MIME type and automatically assigns the proper plug-in and file extension.

If Adobe GoLive has no equivalent plug-in and the MIME type is not identified, you must enter the extension as well. Adobe GoLive lets you embed this type of media file, but you won't be able to play it back in the Inspector.
