I have created a master project (RoboHelp HTML), in which I have added two new merged projects via the TOC toolbar. The appear in the master TOC, but do not appear in the TOC when the master project is generated as Flash help. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Well, the KB article is titled "Merged WebHelp/FlashHelp," but it doesn't work for Flash help. The article says that publishing a Master Project automatically creates a "Mergedprojects" folder, where you're supposed to publish the subprojects to. This is true for WebHelp but NOT true for FlashHelp. So, I guess I could use some help getting this to work for a merged FlashHelp master project. Where are you supposed to publish the subprojects to? Anybody?
Hi again hylandwriter1

Umm, what version of RoboHelp are you using? Merging FlashHelp is a feature that only recently appeared. So if you are using X5, I don't believe merging FlashHelp was possible with that version.

Just a quick note: RH7 FlashHelp does merge help like webhelp. And so does the pro version.

You just have to remember to publish all the slave projects to the mergedProjects folder which is created when you publish the Master Project.

Hi hylandwriter1

Adding the references to the TOC isn't all you need to do. You also need to copy the outputs from the files you referenced to their respective locations in the master output location. Have you done this?

I have generated Flash help for the "slave" projects, both to a shared directory called "Merged Flash."

I then created a "master" project, and created the merged TOC by navigating to the .xpj files of each "slave" project.

I compiled the Flash help for the "master" project to the same "Merged Flash" directory.
