Video (non-interactive SWF) won't replay totally

Dec 02, 2014

So, I've had a few problems with a .swf I try to import to my Presenter. :'(

And I've put so much effort/time into making this work, that I really want it to work in the end (and not use an alternative...).

Here's my last problem and the solution I found :

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-presenter/sound-of-imported-video-starts-on-the-slide-before#reply-229001

Now the problem is, when someone tries to replay the slide, it only plays the beginning of the animation, the sound continues (because it's imported within the Articulate), but the flash stops.

My flash video contains a imported text from a .xml file, imported images and a javascript file. I bring all these files into the exported folder. It works once, but only partly after that. Why is that?

Thank you!

I tried to import another .swf with no interaction, which also had no .xml, no .js, no images linked to it... And it works... :/

Is there a problem with .swf that calls external files?

Hi Genevieve! I can see where you had another problem with .swf here as well.

Can you verify that you are utilizing the latest update of Studio '13, which is Update 4?

Are you following the guidelines here for best practices with Flash?

If you need us to take a look, you are welcome to share your Articulate Package with us here.

Hi!

Yes, we have the latest version. :/

I follow every guidelines, but one : the flash is in AS2. :/

Although, if it works once, it should work the second time? No?

At that point, should I send you the Articulate Package?

I would recommend following the guidelines first:

We recommend using ActionScript 3.0.
Some Flash movies that use ActionScript 2.0 may work, but we cannot guarantee it. If your ActionScript 2.0 movies don't behave properly in Studio, you'll need to upgrade them to ActionScript 3.0.

Oh well then... I don't know quite well AS3 and the file is really complicated. So I can't correct all the problems the transitions between the two does. :(

It's sad, in the older version, it worked with AS2, but not with Flash Player 10. And now it works with Flash Player 10, but not with AS2. Either way, my flash did not work.

I'll have to use the alternative solution. Sniff.

Thanks anyway for the time spent on my case.
