How do I...Change the icons in Flashhelp

[Guest]

I am running RH 5 with Flashhelp as the output. Is there a way that I can change the icons to reflect something other than a book or a page with "? "mark on them? If so, How?

I looked through the forum and I found information on how to do this but it wasn't for FlashHelp.k

I appreciate any help you can provide!

You can change the icons if you have Adobe Flash. If you do, open up skin_toc.fla, and you'll see the icon. After you make your changes, export the file as a movie.

If you have already generated your output with a Flash skin, skin_toc.fla will be in your skin folder (the default directory is !SkinSubFolder!, then the directory with the skin name, in your source file directory). If you have not run your output, you can find basic Flash skin files in the FlashHelp SDK folder where you installed RoboHelp on your hard drive. I usually pick a skin out of the FlashHelp gallery that is the closest to what I want and generate the output once with that, then edit the skin files in the !SkinSubFolder! directory.

Just an additional note that occurred to me:

If you know how to use Flash, you are probably already aware of this, but here goes. When editing this file, don't delete the layer that contains the icon. You should be able to delete just the graphic, then put in another object in that layer in the same spot (same X and Y coordinates) as the question-mark icon. If you delete the layer, the movie will probably break in FlashHelp when trying to display topics in the TOC.
