Exporting to Flash Issues

Okay, I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to get the export to Flash to work with Captivate. However, I am at a loss now. I keep getting this really weird error message: "Windows cannot find '#$^&\Flash.exe.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." Does ANYONE know what I am doing wrong???

I already followed the directions provided in an adobe article. Just FYI.

Thanks,

Liz

P.S. Yes, my Flash 8 is the full version. Thanks!

If I can just step in here for a moment... You must have Flash installed on your computer; not just any Flash but 1) the full program for creating and editing Flash objects, and 2) the right version for compatibility with the version of Captivate you are running. With that in mind, the Flash Player isn't what it is looking for (with all respect to you, Andrew).

If you have Captivate 1, it is looking for the executable file for Flash 2004MX, and for Captivate 2 or 3, it is looking for Flash 8 (or CS3 will do also).

If you do not have the proper version of Flash, Liz, that is the problem. If you do have the right version installed, you might have to re-install. It may be looking in the default folder and you have it installed elsewhere, or when you installed Captivate 3, it might have missed that install, so it couldn't provide the link it needs to open Flash when you export from Captivate.

Try this before pulling out your hair:
1) Check to make sure you have the right version of Flash (see above)
2) If you do, open it, then open a "New Flash Document", then go to "File > Import > to Stage" (and be sure you have the *.CP file-type selected in the Import navigator).

Have a good one!

Yes, I have Flash Player installed on my computer, as well as Flash 8 and Captivate 2. I think the problem is how it was installed or user rights to my computer. I work for the financial industry and we are really locked down here. Also, they "package" the software to deploy it over the network and from what I understand, you can't install Flash and Captivate that way. Flash 8 needs to be installed first and then Captivate so it can "look" for Flash to install the rest of the "sharing" capabilities.
