Question

Playing interactive swf files in instructor led class

We are putting together an instructor led online course.  The problem we keep running into, is that when we import a .swf file when we do share document, the files comes up for all to see, but anybody (teachers, stuidents, facilitator) can click on any of the buttons and everyone only sees what is on their screen as opposed to what the instructor is trying to show.  If we switch to share instructors screen and select application, it works - everyone sees what the instructor sees and only the instructor can hit different buttons - which is what we want - however the quality of the .swf file gets distorted grainy and plays really slow.  Does anybody have any solutions - is there a capability that I missed?

    If you are using custom created SWF files make sure that you are building it to the guidelines given for the Collaboration SDK found here, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobeconnect.html.

    You will be able to sync the file across all attendees in the room by doing the steps provided in that documentation. Otherwise, if you are using Captivate or Presenter, it should automatically sync.

    Hi Jorma - thank you very much - that was the same link you provided my co-worker as her and I have been testing and trying things out all day.  We have downloaded the doc and the files associated listed in the doc but are having a difficult time figuring out how to use this properly apparently to make it either one file is controlled by one person but is seen by all without losing any of its clarity, etc - or how to make one file seen by all including the results of one persons interaction with the file.  Does that make any sense?

    the sync functionality should make it so you can force a sync among all users (the Sync button in the share pod), or not.
