Swf Compatibility Problem

Hi, everyone,

I have several swf games that I created myself in Adobe Flash CS3 using Actionscript 3. I want to use these games in an Adobe Connect share pod, and have both participants in the session be able to play the game together (each having control, and and the ability to see what the other player is doing). The games are basic card games.

Supposedly, the presenter should open the file and allow this when I open it through a share pod. However, all I get are two separate copies of the game on each computer; the players can't share the game or play it together.

For ppt files, the presenter works fine, and I can click the "sync" button to toggle between the participant having controls, or not having controls. Supposedly, the presenter opens up any swf file with multiple frames. My games have two frames a piece, but this doesn't work.

Do I need to alter the code somehow to make my games compatible?

Thanks in advance for all your help, and I apologize if my description of the problem isn't completely clear!

Peter

    This (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/collaborationbuildersdk/connect_8_collaboration.pdf) should be a good starting point.

    BTW, I think currently sync swfs have to a Flex application (unless you can fool connect into believing that your swf is flex app )

    The syncing between 2 participants is done using sync swf sdk. There would still be 2 different instances of swf which pass messages to each other (via api provided by sync swf sdk).

    Thanks for your response! Is there someway I can modify my code so it functions properly? My games are in ActionsScript 3. Is there a tutorial anywhere that would help me do this?

    Thanks!
