Working with .swf files in Adobe Connect

Report · Nov 04, 2009

My goal is to load custom made flash (.swf) presentations into Adobe Connect and present them to an audience (not using presenter)- however I am encountering the following issues:

1. The sound within the .swfs will not play (sounds works fine everywhere else, and was tested via the Audio setup wizard).

2. Many of the features within the loaded .swf do not work - sometimes causing runtime errors - does certain as3 code not work in the Adobe Connect environment?

3. "Synchronized Navigation" in the Shared Pod option menu is grayed out - I can not synchronize flash content? How can I control the presentation?

Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).

If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.
