Question

Publishing problems with SWF

Using Presenter 11.1 with PowerPoint 13

SWFs created by Flash CS6 in AS2 and Captivate 8 and 2017

Problem:  No sound when published with Flash SWFs (works fine outside of Presenter)

Problem:  Can't exit the slide containing Captivate SWF (works fine outside of Presenter)

I'm wondering if Presenter has been thoroughly Beta tested?

rlaurencelle,

The fault lies not with Presenter. AS2 hasn't been supported by Presenter since version 7.0.6. All versions of Presenter after that have published their SWF output with AS3. AS3 and AS2 are not compatible and inserting AS2 content in later versions of Presenter will yield results as you have seen.

I believe that Captivate 8 and 2017 should only be able to output AS3 SWF files, so the issue there may be a different issue. Can you clarify what steps you use when inserting your Captivate SWF files? Is the issue of not being able to exit a slide in the Captivate file or in the Presenter presentation?

Hmm... I just tried inserting a simple AS3 SWF published in Animate 2017 as a test.  It doesn't work in the published Presenter output.

Without knowing what your simple SWF is it's very hard to troubleshoot.

When you insert the SWF, are you doing anything beyond just placing it on the slide? Are you inserting using the Insert Flash option in Presenter? Are you associating the playback of the SWF with the Presenter playbar or letting play on it's own. Did you adjust the slide timing (insert silence) to allow enough time for the SWF fly to play back? Was your SWF file set to play back at 30 FPS?

There are many variables that come into play when inserting Flash content, can you clarify your process for inserting SWF files or possibly share what you are working on?

Here is the documentation in inserting SWF files in Presenter: Presenter Help | Importing SWF files and video files
