I have some Flash videos that I've inserted into a Presenter presentation as Flash movies. Occasionally I need to go back into Captivate and update the video and resave it as Flash.
Is there a way for me to update the Flash movie in the presentation without:
Deleting the old Flash movie
Inserting the updated Flash movie
Like, can I just copy the newly compiled movie into some folder:?
I want to add mouse over hover Flash effects in storyline2 template...is it possible?...or like captivate here is any animation for text too...it is very helpful to make the product more interactive.
I'm not sure I'm clear on what you're looking to do - but you also posted this in the Presenter forums. You may want to show a sample of what you'd like to set up so that the community could see what you're looking to do.
I'm clear, I want to add some special flash effect on my project. Like motion effect and mouse hover effect and text effect. But whenever i inserted .FLA file storyline2 not supported. So my question is how to make text effect apart from storyline2 default text effects. Like captivate there is an option to add some motion text effect.

The inserted flash files are stored in the Data -> SWF folder and have the same file name with "fm_" prefixed to them.
After publishing, you can swap out the swf or flv files as long as you use the same name.
No need to reopen and delete, re-insert, re-publish.
Thanks Dwayne!

Thanks @Ashley

In storyline 2 is it possible to add text effect?
Hi Asim,
The .FLA file is the Flash Source file, you'll want to follow the steps here to insert the .SWF file.
Outside of the built in Storyline text effects, I'd have to defer to the community so hopefully they're able to assist you with this question.
