Question

Flash Animation Frame Rate

Hi -

I just put a flash animation (which I made in Flash Pro CS6) in a Cp 5 slide (which I've done countless times), but for some reason, when I adjust the frame rate in Flash, it doesn't adjust it in Cp.

Right now my animation is too fast for the audio in the Cp slide, and I want to slow it down by reducing the frame rate.

Does anyone know how to do this or why what I'm doing isn't working?

Thanks in advance.

Changing the framerate of the SWF in Flash won't automatically change the framerate of the file previously inserted into the Captivate project.  Are you sure you updated the SWF inserted into your Captivate project so that it is the updated version?  Did you remove and reinsert the version with the different framerate, or right-click it and choose Update from the context menu?

Wiezzy1, Rod is right...Rod is wise...

Also, Captivate publishes at 30 fps...which means, your Flash animation(s) MUST be authored at the same frame rate...as ugly as it sounds, your only recourse may be to create a new Flash file at 30 fps and recreate your animation...and then insert into Captivate...

Strings, so what you're saying is that setting the framerate in Flash does nothing since I'm putting it into Cp which runs on 30fps, and because of this, the flash animations will always be locked at 30fps whenever they are in Cp?

I don't know how familiar you are with Flash, but would you happen to know a way to quickly change the length of the whole Flash project proportionally, without having to change the lenths of every single part individually?

I just spent a cumulative 15 hours making this animation, so I can't simply start over.

Thanks.
