Setting plug-in preferences

The Plug-ins Preferences dialog box lets you assign media file types to the plug-ins currently installed in the Plug-ins folder within your GoLive program folder. This allows GoLive to play back media files using the appropriate resources.

To assign a new media file type to a plug-in:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. Select the Plug-ins icon.
3. Click New .
4. Type a media file type (type) and a valid MIME type (subtype) in the Mime Type text box. (MIME, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension, is a file type identifier for files sent across the Internet.)
5. If GoLive has the appropriate plug-in, GoLive recognizes the MIME type and automatically assigns the proper plug-in and file extension.

If GoLive has no equivalent plug-in and the MIME type is not identified, you must type the extension as well. GoLive lets you embed a media file for which it has no equivalent plug-in, but you won't be able to play the media file back in the document window.
