Flash 8 - Publish HTML files

I'm working with Flash 8 and want it to publish the html files. The Publish
Settings dialog was easy to find but I can't locate the Version Detection
Settings button! How do I get Flash 8 to publish the index, index_content, and
the index_alternate htmls?
In MX 2004 Pro the Detection Settings button it is in Publish Settings, under
the HTML tab.
I want to the same facility in Flash 8.

Apparently:

Publishing Flash documents
To publish a Flash document, you select publish file formats and file format
settings with the Publish Settings dialog box. Then you publish the Flash
document using the Publish command. The publishing configuration that you
specify in the Publish Settings dialog box is saved with the document. You can
also create and name a publish profile so that the established publish settings
are always available.

Depending on the options you specify in the Publish Settings dialog box, the
Publish command creates the following files:

The Flash SWF file
Alternate images in a variety of formats that appear automatically when Flash
Player is not available (GIF, JPEG, PNG, and QuickTime)
The supporting HTML document(s) required to show SWF content (or an alternate
image) in a browser and control browser setting
Three HTML files (if you keep the default, Detect Flash Version, selected):
the detection file, the content file, and the alternate file
Stand-alone projector files for Windows and Macintosh computers and QuickTime
videos from Flash content (EXE, HQX, or MOV files, respectively) NOTE

To alter or update a SWF file created with the Publish command, you must edit
the original Flash document and then use the Publish command again to preserve
all authoring information. Importing a Flash SWF file into Flash removes some
of the authoring information.

Thank you chocolate999 for your input. It sounds a bit tricky but I'll give it a go.

Many thanks
