Im using flash 8 and Im a bit tired of the flash 8 player setting (im always exporting to flash player 7).
My question is; Can I do the flash player 7 setting somehow like in Document Properties "make default". Thanx.

On PC:
Find default.xml in your local setting folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\%YourUserName%\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Publish Profiles
Open the file in editor and find the line:
go down several lines and look for:
8
Change that to 7 and your Publish FLASH setting will always default to Flash 7.
You can also set in this XML whether your want to publish in AS1, set the automatic JPG compression and pretty much everything else.

crap those tags didn't go through.
in xml file you are looking for tag:
PublishFlashProperties enabled="true"
then look several lines below that and you will see tag:
Version>8

On a Mac, the file is here.
/Users//Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/Publish Files/dafault.xml

I was able to change a few things. I changed the settings to omit html export, version to 6, ActionScript could be changed, but I left it at AS2 and JPEG quality down to 50.
Here's what else I'd like to change but couldn't.
Audio settings
FRAME RATE!!!!
document size from 500x440Anyone know how to change those? Probably another XML document.

in the document settings, where you would normally change them, just hit the 'set as default' button.

just noticed the 'set as default' button in the document settings. nice!
I couldn't find the file to change the publish settings. Any other possible locations for that?

publish settings....
export as flash 7...etc.

j_red, my Samsung ancestor, thanks a ton for that tip.
I don't know why Macromedia has so many bad default settings left over from Future Splash. Hopefully, Adobe will pick up some of the slack on the graphics/usability.

i built this while i was there, i've been at R/GA for the last 5 months or so...
yeah, i like how they already implemented the tabbed panels in 8, etc. Hopefully it'll keep getting better...

It was a good place to work for a while. I interviewed at RGA before I cam to my current job. I was pretty psyched to even be considered by them. That's a pretty great experience. Whar are you working on now?
