SWF integration problem

I have also had this problem..
However I was able to solve it by placing a single frame stopAllSounds() SWF; on the first frame of each slide. (you obviously need to put the "presentation" SWF starting on the 2nd frame for this not to mute the playback.

It sounds like the timelines for the SWF files are overriding the timeline for the Captivate SWF file. Since the Captivate project outputs to a SWF format, it's timeline is considered the "root" timeline, so your Actionscript needs to reflect that when writing certain code. There are several commands that can be used to control the overall Captivate project from within the SWF files. For instance, "this._parent._parent.rdcmndNextSlide = 1" will tell Captivate to go to the next slide. (As long as this code is on the main timeline of the SWF file being placed in your Captivate project...otherwise, if it's contained in a movieclip on the main timeline of your SWF, the code will need to be nested as such.)

When working with FLV files a couple important things to remember are:

a) Make sure the FLV objects in your Captivate project are set to display "rest of slide" instead of "rest of project"

b) Make sure if the FLV is set to display the rest of slide, to set the slide length longer than the length of video.

c) Add some sort of navigation to the video slide that "pauses" the timeline until clicked on, or set the slide to wait til the end of the video before advancing to the next slide.

d) After running some tests I learned that unless the FLV files have preloaders built into them (SWF files that preload the FLVs into them individually),when the main Captivate project SWF is loading , the videos are also loading simultaneously, in no particular order. So depending on the file size of each video, some will finish loading before others. The FLV player skin will not even appear on the slide until it is loaded. (These tests were done using the FLV Progressive download setting)

I've tried the "stopallaudio" method with no luck.

This is a SWAG of a guess.
1. Check the time of the slides and see if it is long enough?

2. Set a blank intervening slide. You can just add slides between the SWF's and then set the time of those to 0.2 seconds. Pick a nice background color and it should look fine.

3. Turn OFF fade in and fade out so that there is no activity that could interrup the SWF presentations.

This sounds like a tough one. You can download CP4 for free and try that too.
