I am interested in this Small SWF file that will Pause or Play the captivate movie. Paul metion the following; "Pressing the Spacebar will also Pause/Play as long as the swf has focus"

Forgive me for being new to Captivate, but how do you set focus to that swf?

Thank you
Chris

    Hi Chris

    Hey, no need for forgiveness. We were all new to Captivate at some point, eh?

    One way to easily ensure your .SWF has focus is to place a button or click box on an early slide that pauses the movie and asks the user to click in order to continue. Once they click, focus has been placed on the .SWF until another action causes focus to be lost.

    There is probably a way to use JavaScript to ensure the .SWF has focus without using the method I've outlined. But that would be a bit more involved to implement. The Click Box/Button method is probably the most straightforward to explain and implement.

    Hopefully that helps... Rick
