Problem when inserting a SWF File into a slide
Feb 27, 2014
Hello,
I have got a problem while inserting a SWF file into a slide with Storyline.
As this animation requires an interactivity (buttons inside the file), I use Insert Flash to be incorporated independatly of the Timeline.
After the insertion, I cannot see any objects (in the timeline it is OK) but nothing appears (transparent within a zone). In preview mode, nothing is shown. I also tried to use Set Poster Frame but it does not help.
I have enclosed the Animation within this post for your information.
PS: I use a XML file as extra to translate the text, can be the problem?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Julien

You could try inserting the Flash file into an HTML page and then insert this page into Storyline as a webobject.
Hello,
It does not work and I made some tests internally.
When I insert a Flash without XML linked it is OK. From the moment I have an external XML file for the text, Storyline is bugging.
Is it a problem of Storyline that does not allow this kind of Flash? Or I made a wrong manipulation?
Please help, wre use a lot of Simulation like this.
Thanks in advance

After publishing, you need to manually add the xml folder to your published content, like this:
Here is a quick test: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl71_SL/XML/V4/story.html. The webobject option I had suggested earlier also works.
Thanks Michael.
I think it can work if I use a Webobject. Can you share with me the HTML code that you used in the HTML file to insert the SWF file please?
Thanks in advance!
See attached a simple HTML page I used for the web object. Depending on you project size, you may have to edit the height and width parameters, so that the Flash file is displayed without scrollbars inside the web object.
