Howdy ... I followed these instructions for creating a more interactive Engage screen to insert SWFs into an Engage Step: (https://community.articulate.com/series/12/articles/adding-flash-files-in-articulate-engage). In short: 6 buttons on the screen; when each is clicked a box pops up and plays a SWF "mini movie". I've been doing this for YEARS and it's worked fine til now.
Now when I do this I get just a black screen where the movie should be. Sometimes (in Articulate 360). I tied both publishing the Engage "stand alone" as well as within it's original Presenter GUI (no joy). It shows a bar at the top where the movie should be and just says, "SWF"). The SWF plays fine when building the interaction stage.

If you are viewing it locally prior to uploading it into its final environment, you might be running into Flash Player restrictions in your browser. Since browser and Flash Player versions are perpetually updating, this might explain the sudden change in functionality.

You're welcome to share your Engage .intr file here, too, for us to do some testing if you're meeting the above requirements.
