Hi!
I have been doing a lot of research and coming up short.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to insert an
animated file (more than likely a .swf) as the Search button into
RoboHelp with FlashHelp Pro as your layout? If animation is not
possible, what about just an image? For example, if I imported an
animated avatar and when I opened the output help file I would see
the avatar and a text box where I would type my search.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In a nutshell the answer to your question is that there is likely a way to make that happen. But there are some obstacles you would need to overcome.
* Do you know how to program Flash and are you familiar with its ActionScript language ?
* The output is FlashHelp based. This would mean that you would have to figure out which .SWF controls that button and substitute your desired button.
* To complicate matters even more, you aren't dealing with simple FlashHelp. You are dealing with FlashHelp Pro. And muddies the waters even further, as the Pro versions operate differently than their WebHelp/FlashHelp counterparts.
You might begin by inspecting the Skins Development Kit that ships with RoboHelp. You find it in the following folder location: (default installation of Version 7 assumed)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7\FlashHelp SDK (Version 7)
Hopefully this helps a smidge... Rick
