InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.
InstallShield lets you display a Flash application file billboard during the file transfer process. Flash application files can consist of videos, movies, sounds, interactive interfaces, games, text, and more—anything that is supported by the .swf type of file. It is recommended that files such as Flash video files (.flv) and MP3 audio files be embedded in the .swf file so that they are available locally on the target system during file transfer. Although .swf files can reference external files that you can post on a Web site, this external implementation would require that end users have an Internet connection.
To add an Adobe Flash Application File billboard to your installation project:
| 1. | In the View List under User Interface, click Billboards. |
| 2. | In the Billboards explorer, right-click Adobe Flash Application File (.swf) and then click New Billboard. InstallShield adds a new billboard item with the name NewBillboard1. |
| 3. | Type a name for the billboard item. This name is used to help you identify the item while you are creating your installation; the name is not displayed during the installation. |
| 4. | In the right pane, configure the settings for the billboard. |
Note • If the version of Flash or other tool that you use to create your .swf file is newer than the version of the Flash Player that is installed on a target system, it is possible that some of the Flash features may not work as expected on that target system.
If a target system does not have the Adobe Flash Player, which is used to display Flash application files, the installation can detect that and display image billboards in place of the Flash billboard. Therefore, if you include a Flash billboard in your project, it is recommended that you also include one or more image billboards in your project.
