Integrating FlashHelp with Flash movie

Question

I would like to place my flashhelp project onto the Flash
stage (using CS3 Flash). Is there a way to do this?

Brief explanation: I've converted a product guide from .doc
to RH (mainly for user navigation and usability). My main shell is
in Flash, and I'd like to wrap it around my flashhelp project and
include many swfs as "showme" that correspond to the various
sections in the product guide.

Does this make sense, or is there a better way to accomplish
something like this?

Hi JimFrom what you have told us, it would seem that you aresomehow expecting FlashHelp output to consist of a single Flash.SWF file. Sorry, but that's nowhere near the case. What FlashHelpis, is very similar to WebHelp. You have a swarm of files involved.The TOC, Index, Glossary and Search are presented to the user viaFlash .SWF files.Normally folks will insert "showme" SWF content into theirtopic pages.I'm not saying it's impossible, as I've managed to accomplishmany seemingly impossible tasks myself. But I'm not sure I've everseen anyone create a Flash wrapper and pull RoboHelp content intoit.Cheers... Rick
