Publishing, Uploading, and General Reminders

Remember that you need to publish your Flash files so that you will have both a swf (small web file) as well as your fla file. Your project, and later your team pages, will always request both of your files from you as you complete your lessons. If you forget to publish, you will only have the fla file.

Also, the files will not be available on the wiki unless you upload them with the file uploader. You can't just type the file name in the space on the project page and expect them to magically appear. Always upload them first and then copy them to the appropriate places on the project pages.

If you are ever asked for a thumbnail file. You just need to go to file, publish settings, and select jpg. This will provide a small picture for you to place on your page. Just remember to be on the frame that you want it to publish the picture of. In most cases this is going to be your title page. You will be asked to do this for your hidden object game and your action game and your team game because these thumbnails will then go to the game gallery and show a small picture of your game in the gallery.

Questions, just ask. Good luck publishing and uploading. You are well on your way to making some awesome games. I can't wait to play, can you?
