Is there a simple way of converting an SWF interactive video to a non-interactive video?

[digitalsword]

Specifically, can I have my interactive video play with out pausing or waiting for interaction?

I have re-exported via AVI, and then converted back to SWF but the files get too big.

I want to avoid the the time consuming editing of each slide and removing the interactive features.

Can the java script be manipulated?

Thanks,

John

Hi there

I'm at a total loss as to how manipulating JavaScript would help in this case.

But you may be able to achieve editing all objects relatively easily. Usually all you need to do is remove the pause. So just edit one of the objects (Click Box, for example) and configure it to not pause. Then use the "Apply to all" function to apply the changes to all other Click Box objects. If you have Button objects, the same could be used for those.

Cheers... Rick

Great suggestion. A defininte fall back plan. 

However, I literally have hundreds of files...so you can imagine how time consuming this could become.

Any other ideas or suggestions on "suppressing" the interaction of 'left click' or 'text entry'

Hi again

Sorry, no way I'm aware of. I'm assuming that by "hundreds of files", you are saying you have hundreds of .CP files that have all been created in a Simulation mode and you wish to convert them all to a Demonstration mode, right?

If that's correct I'm unaware of any way to avoid opening each one and making the changes.

You may wish to investigate using a Design Template. Not sure if that will help but may be worth a shot.

You could export to AVI then convert to FLV, which should keep the files a lot smaller.

You could use a similar tool like Camtasia to record yourself going through the CP lessons and output those as SWF, AVI, or FLV.

Shame CP doesn't allow a direct to FLV option, but could see where that would not be a frequently-selected option in most cases.
