Using parameters

Use the Parameters dialog box to enter values for special parameters defined for Shockwave and Flash movies, ActiveX controls, Netscape Navigator plugins, and Java applets. Parameters are used with the object, embed, and applet tags. Parameters set attributes specific to the type of object being inserted. For example, a Flash movie object can have a quality parameter <param name="quality" value="best"> for the object tag. The Parameter dialog box is available from the Property inspector. See the documentation for the object you're using for information on the parameters it requires.

Note: There is no widely accepted standard for identifying data files for ActiveX controls. Consult the documentation for the ActiveX control you're using to find out which parameters to use.

To open the Parameters dialog box:

1	Select an object that can have parameters (such as a Shockwave movie, an ActiveX control, a Navigator plugin, or a Java applet) in the Document window.
2	Open the dialog box by using one of these methods:
	Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the object, and choose Parameters from the context menu.
	Open the Property inspector if it isn't already open, and click the Parameters button found in the lower half of the Property inspector. (Make sure the Property inspector is expanded.)

To enter a value for a parameter in the Parameters dialog box:

1	Click the Plus (+) button.
2	Enter the name of the parameter in the Parameter column.
3	Enter the value of the parameter in the Value column.
