Using Flash in Presenter

Hi Lawren and welcome to Heroes! I would suggest taking a look at this article which outlines best practices for creating Flash content to use with Articulate.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned that I have already gone over that page and can't really find anything to help me out with this problem. My frame rate matches the standards, and my sound + clip are both on the main timeline. I just wanted to know if there's anything else I can do to resolve the problem of having a video restart after opening the navigation tabs on top of the presenter.

Hi Lawren.

Since it sounds like this is a linear video you may wan to try converting it to MP4 or FLV. Another option would be to have the movie play independently of the slide.

Hi Justin,

So in other words, what I'm asking cannot be done?

I should be using the guided tour engage activity or create my own controls (have movie play independently of the slide)?

Thanks

I tested your scenario with my own SWF file and was unable to duplicate your issue. I am not familiar enough with Flash to really look at what could be causing the issue with your file. I would maybe take a look to see if you have references to _root or _level0. Outside of that, if you were able to convert this to a different file format, you could probably have it play in sync with the slide without issue.

I'm actually posting this issue on behalf of one of our QA testers. It may have been a one-time thing because even as I am testing it out right now (which I should have done prior to posting this) I'm no longer having the issues, even on multiple browsers.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to help me out with this!

Cool. Glad to hear things are working!
