Description, which you need to specify for each Flash document that you create.
To set properties for a new or existing document in the Document Properties dialog
box:
1. Select File > New.
2. With the document open, select Modify > Document.
The Document Properties dialog box appears.
3. To embed metadata within your SWF files, improving the ability of web-based search
engines to return meaningful search results for Flash content, do the following:
o Enter a descriptive title in the Title text box.
o Enter a description in the Description text box.
Descriptions can contain searchable keywords, author and copyright information, and
short descriptions about the content and its purpose.
