Playing a video across slides as an .swf in the logo
May 31, 2012
Afternoon all,
I know I am just missing something simple here, it always seems to work out that way.
We are trying to play a presenter across slides using a .swf in the logo.
I have used the two articles below to get started:
http://www.articulate.com/blog/how-to-customize-the-presenter-player-with-continuous-video/
http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=ap9&id=eu4d0qnejei8
My problem is that the video will not play at all. I even made the video a bit larger than 240 x 240, you can see the player controls but nothing works.
Simplified Steps:
1) Create new PowerPoint- file >save as > logovideotest
2) Articulate Ribbon – Player Templates > Corporate Communications (Unmodified), close window.
3) Articulate Ribbon – Presentation Options >Logos> add > browse for .swf file, click OK.
4) Articulate Ribbon – Publish , select Corporate Communications(Unmodified), select .swf file, publish to desktop.
5) Open player.html, can see slide templates, corporate Communications template and logo is there, just the play/pause buttons on the .swf.
Okay for the .swf it was created on a blank AS2.0 single layer, using CS5. I published the player as Flash 6, this took a while since I had to convert the h.264 to something that would work with flash 6. I embedded the .flv on a single layer, no scripting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I accidently subbmitted it twice, I forgot to put the link to the forums, and the info above. The file I sent uses a short video, not the actual presenter video, both were created the exact same way
I also tried using the, Display in presenter panel option, same result.
Also, displayed the .swf in the slide, still same results, however can not see the player controls and gives an error message: A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?
I am starting to think it may be the .swf it self, AS is not my strong point.
Thanks, Dan. We got it, and yeah, it does sound like an issue with the SWF. We'll be able to take a look and get back to you soon.
