Question

Flash and Captivate

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to play a Captivate swf file inside a
Flash shell. I've got a couple of buttons, in Flash, that are controlling
the playback of the Captivate movie ... and that's working ok. But I would
also like a Frame Counter of sorts that will display the Captivate current
slide number out of total slides in a Flash dynamic textbox. Any ideas on
how I can do this?

Thanks for any help.

Marge

I assume that you know flash since you already have a shell with CP controls in it.

Use the following two Captivate system variables to get current slide and total slides into Flash.

rdinfoCurrentSlide - Slide currently playing (zero based).
rdinfoSlideCount - Number of slides in the project (not including hidden slides).
