Hi guys, can anyone point me in the direction of posts on how to edit the slide swf? I can get in and change them, but I was wondering if there's any way to keep the links etc working if you edit it - for example if you create a link from an image, but you edit the swf so that the image becomes a button?
Hi Chris. It sounds like you're using a Flash decompiler. It's been a couple of years since I did this very thing with Sothink's decompiler...so I can't remember if the links stayed intact for me, but I do recall the text not converting cleanly and had to be redone. I guess worst case scenario, you can reestablish the links in Flash. What are the links supposed to be going to...a URL or another slide?
Here's some legacy ActionScript code from the AP4 days that I'm pretty sure still works with AP '09. Be sure to publish your edited file(s) in Flash 6.
To go to specific slide number: _global.artPlaySlide(slidenum);
To go to the next slide: _global.artPLayNextSlide();
To go to the previous slide: _global.artPlayPreviousSlide();

Another slide. If I knew what I needed to put in the actionscript, I'd be fine I guess!! Yeah, the text comes out in a complete mess, you're right!!
I think I'm punching above my weight, but it just feels like something I SHOULD be able to do!!

Hope this helps...
