Menu - If set to true, the Flash object is displayed with an Element,
Base - The Flash base attribute value. If you do not enter a value, the default is the current directory. (The base directory is the URL or relative location that Flash uses when it resolves relative paths if the flash file is stored in a different directory.)
Alignment -Sets how the Flash Element is displayed within the area defined by Height and Width

Window Mode - Sets how the Flash object is displayed in a window, as follows: transparent, opaque, or window.
MIME Type - The Flash object’s HTML MIME type.

Hide for CommonSpot Menus - shows/hides this Element when popup menus associated with links on this page display. By default, CommonSpot hides Elements that obstruct menus displayed on a page. Set this option to No to explicitly show this Element when CommonSpot menus display.

To select or change the Flash Source File, click the “Edit…” button. Specify the desired width and height (in pixels). It is in this defined space that the Flash movie displays.

Click Save to save the settings and return to the page.
