Please can you help, I have created a swf by publishing a ppt slide using articulate. In Studio 09, I was able to the use this swf and insert it into presenter of engage. I am trying to do the same using studio13, and it is not working. I have followed the tutorial, and get as far inserting it, then nothing seems to load up. I can view the swf file from outside of articulate.
ahhh, ok, so your .swf's were probably created with Presenter '09? Have you tried creating a .swf with Presenter '13 and seeing if you have the same issue?
The Presenter '09 .swf files should be ok, but I'm wondering if they are published using a different version of action script, etc. I haven't played around with this a whole lot to authoritatively say what is compatible and what's not, unfortunately.
One option, if you have a lot of these and you're having issues with them all, might be to see if anyone has a recommendation for a tool (possibly free!) that would convert your older .swf files into something like .mp4
Hi Brian, sorry I didnt specify but I am using the 30 day trial version of studio 13, so the presenter version that I used was also presenter 13 and I'm using powerpoint 2010. This is the first swf file I have created using studio 13, I have had no problems when using presenter 09.

Hello Andrea, welcome to Heroes.
Have you checked to see if your .swf file fits the recommendations found here? http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter-13/flash-movie-best-practices-studio-13
Hi Brian
As I was using Articulate and powerpoint to create the SWF I couldnt see where I could check the version nos and the action scripts etc.
