Question

Win 7 does not associate swf with Shockwave Flash Captivate 7

I created a test file and when I went to publish it in Win 7, there was no application for the swf file.  I tried to find Shockwave Flash or Macromedia and I could not find anything to associate it with.  I looked on the Internet and someone suggested a stand alone Flash Player. I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should.  I tested it on another Win 7 machine and it too could not find the application.  Captivate 5 with XP was so easy. It just found it and I had no problems.  What is this about?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

When you publish your project as a SWF, a HTML file is also published. You can open this HTML just like any other web page in IE, FireFox or Chrome, You don't need a standalone Flash Player for that.

"I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should. " -- You can insert SWF files on a slide in Captivate. AFAIK, Captivate could never be used as a "player" for SWFs.
