Question

User variables from Captivate 6

Using Flash Pro CS 6 and Captivate 6

I recently updated Captivate from 5/5.5 to 6.  What used to work doesn't anymore.

I have user variables in Captivate that are pulled into Flash using AS3. These are then used to populate a Dynamic text field.

I created a simple test slide in Captivate, adding the flash animation.  The AS3 code is:

----------------------

import flash.display.MovieClip;
var captivate:MovieClip = MovieClip (this);
var cappie:MovieClip = MovieClip (captivate.parent.root);

Biff.text = cappie.Botox;

----------------------------

Biff is the name of the Dynamic Text field on the flash stage.

Botox is the user variable name in Captivate.

Works flawlessly in 5.5, but not at all in 6.0.

Did Adobe break something in 6.0?  Or did they change the code?  Or could I do it another way?

FYI System variables are fine in 6.0.  For example:

Biff.text = cappie.cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel;

I can read and change user variables through AS3, just not display them, it seems.

Does anyone have any insight?  Thanks.
