Flash SWF not appearing in RH

I am using TCS 4 with FM 12 and RH 11.

I have an animation built in Flash and published to a SWF file.

The animation is added to a FM doc. Publishing to PDF shows the animation as expected.

I link an RH project to the FM book and the animation is missing. There is an empty frame where the animation should be, and what is in the frame is a blank PNG with a made up name (i.e. filename004.png). I can add the SWF file manually into the frame but it gets wiped during the next update. I can turn off updates but that defeats the purpose of Single Sourcing. There is no setting I can find in RH to manage importing media files.

Any help?

FrameMaker integration

Is it in an anchored frame? Try a test – try importing into a blank project instead of linking to see if there’s a difference.

Another thought – try adding it as a baggage file to the RH project & generate.

Yep, anchored frame.

Adding baggage files did not help.

Embedding or linking within FM did not help.

Starting with your suggestions I did a little testing and found the problem. There are, in fact, 2 SWFs in the one frame, and that was causing RH to give up on the frame entirely. If I only put a single SWF in the frame, it seems to work.

I went back into Flash and glued both SWFs together to make one, which has solved it. However it would be interesting to know if there is a way to have 2 SWFs in a single FM frame.

Thanks for the help.

Aha! The old “2 SWFs in 1 frame” trick! LOL ;>)
