Inserting Flash Interaction (swf file)

Hi Abby and welcome to E-learning Heroes!

Can you tell us any more about the type of Flash movie you're working with? The two most common reasons for Flash files not working as expected are:

1. Files were created using ActionScript 3 (Studio '09 currently supports AS2)
2. References to _root and _level0 in the Flash code

A lot of times movies include multiple timelines and work when inserted as "Play independently" rather than "Synchronize to slide". How did you insert your Flash movie--which option did you select when you inserted it?

Here's a good article on best practices that's worth bookmarking: http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/kb/?p=76

Hi David,

Thank you for your quick reply.

The problem was indeed the ActionScript.

We are currently using ActionScript 3.

Do you know if and when Studio '09 will support ActionScript 3?

Hi Abby

I dont think 09 will ever support AS3, it is a fundamental change, you can insert AS3 swfs as webobjects
