Question

Create EXE projector makes Blank Screen

Hi all,

I am having a perplexing problem. If I open a SWF in Flash Player (v. 10.2 r153) it opens up just fine. I then go to File >> Create Projector.

This creates a duplicate of the Flash Player (same size) but when it opens, it is blank. The content is not embedded as I would expect, but rather just creates a duplicate of the player.

In other words, rather than packaging the SWF inside the player, as it is supposed to do, it leaves an open blank screen. If I drag the SWF into this, it plays - but that's not what its supposed to do!

FYI, the SWF was created by a vendor through inDesign's Export >> SWF, but the client is requesting an EXE. Short of having to open the SWF in Flash and redo all the links between content, I am stuck as to what else can be done.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Is that also in InDesign?  If so, better ask in the InDesign forum.
