Flash animations will not play in Captivate 5.5

Ahoy there

We have recently upgraded to Captivate 5.5

For some reason embedded flash animations will not play in CP 5.5 They play perfectly fine within the preview mode of a slide in CP (F3), but will not play when I publish the project or preview the output by using F4.

The flash animations come from different Flash versions (CS 3, CS 4 and CS 5), and some use AS 2.0, some AS 3.0. The problem is valid for all .swf files

Does anyone have a clue? This is starting to make me crazy...

Please let me know if I should describe the issue in further detail.

Kind rgds

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    AS2 animations will not play in CP5.5 or 5.0, since it supports only AS3. To explain possible other issues, let us wait for the Flash gurus, there is some problem with complex animations. Try a search with Google, because the search of the forums is not functional for the moment, there are several threads about this problem.

    Thx a bunch!

    Apparently the issue was AS 2.0 vs 3.0

    I was certain that some of these animations was written with AS 3.0
