This swf file will not play in Presenter Oct 07, 2011 By Jill Rashdi Hi, I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to make this play in Presenter. I have had no problmes with similar files. Thanks. cctvcamera.swf
onEnterFrame (James Kingsley) over 12 years ago10/07/11 at 7:20 am (UTC) It looks like your swf has a bit of code in it to ensure it's fully loaded before displaying the animation. Within that code it is referring to _root ... if you are not familiar with Flash programming; _root is a reference to the main flash file. In this case since Articulate loaded the swf it is the main file.. so your code is pointing to the wrong place :-( Did you create this? Can you edit it?
Jill Rashdi Author over 12 years ago10/07/11 at 7:31 am (UTC) Hi James, I don't know how to edit flash, but there are people at my company who do, and I have the source file, so it can be edited. What do I need to ask them to change in the code in order to make it work in Articulate? Thanks for your help!
