White screen appears when using AS3 wrapper file with Captivate 7

Question

I had this posted in Captivate forum with no responses so I thought I would post it here.

We had no problems with this in the past but now a white screen appears instead of the captivate running. The file is used when we use Captivate, streaming video, or HTML assessment. It triggers a complete signal to our LMS at the end. Is there anything that we are missing? The file is:

You'll have to do two things.. Elaborate on exactly what you mean by a white screen appears. What is turning white? Are you generating a SWF from captivate of a screen capture session, then trying to load that SWF with a wrapper and when you do so it turns white? (In that scenario, if Captivate was looking for external assets it can't find, that'd be why). Please include more details on that.

Second, code of this size pasted into the forum really doesn't help. You'll need to do the work to isolate exactly what part of the code you're seeing this white box appear. Run it in a debugger line by line until you witnesss it turn white and only share that small portion of code. And if you do choose to share a ton of code, please use a site like pastebin.com which will retain formatting and color coding, making it much easier to read, and then share that pastebin link.
