What is causing this problem "Swf compilation failed Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.

I am working in Captivate 8 and have already tried updating the INI file (will not give me access to save it or save over it). Looked into the 'space' issue as well. Have had no problem publishing this file before. Made one change to the audio and now this error keeps popping up. Have renamed the file and tried to publish. No luck.

Here are some basic troubleshooting tips:

I suggest you try the suggested process of elimination to find out if there is a particular slide that is triggering the publish failure.  It could also be that you have somehow inadvertently chosen to name some object or slide in your project using one of the 150 or so Reserved Keywords that Adobe needs to use in Captivate's underlying code.  So you may need to think back about the actions you performed before this started happening and ask yourself if you've added some object or renamed something.  That could be the issue. (Include variable names and advanced actions in this.)

Rod thanks for your help. It was an easy fix. I started with you suggestion to cleaning the Captivate Cache and that seemed to do the trick. I never knew about that one, so I will certainly be cleaning the cache more frequently now.
