Question

Imported swf

Hi,

I am hoping someone will be able to help here. I have a 10-slide presentation in Captivate 3 and the first slide is a flash animation I created in Flash CS3. When I test the project using the preview option - In Web Browser everything works fine and as expected.

My problems start when I publish my project. I have tried swf, exe, with and without preloaders; I add a blank slide in right at the start to see if that was the problem again with and without a preloader. The imported swf does not play no matter what I do. After a while though the click button become active and when I click it moves on to the next slide. I just need to work out why my first slide does not play correct, as this is a key slide.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Kind regards

I finally managed to work out why it wouldn't work after publishing. My flash swf I was importing was set to run on Flash Player 8, after changing this to Flash Player 6 it worked fine.

Hi Dave

I know you have already found your answer, but I have a question and/or comment.

When you published, were you certain to include the additional .SWF among the files on the server? If not, that probably explains why it failed. By changing to Flash 6, you caused the .SWF to be embedded inside the main Captivate movie, hence no additional file to ensure you distribute.

Cheers... Rick
