Using Flash

Sep 27, 2012

I am new to Articulate and wondered if anyone had some do's and don'ts when using flash with Articulate?

For instance, do I build my animations all on the main timeline or can I build them in movie clips?

Welcome to Heroes, David.

My two cents:

If you want the scrubber in Articulate Presenter to control the Flash movie, you must keep everything in the main timeline.

If the playback is paused, movieClips will continue to play.

Be especially concerned with putting Actionscript statements in the timeline. If the user scrubs past the frame that holds the Actionscript, that script will NOT be executed.

Keep your flash animations at 30 frames per second.

If you're building for Articulate Presenter, all your Actionscript must be AS2, not AS3.

Best wishes,
