I have inserted several .swf files that simply do not play when viewed or published. I have viewed these in another published lesson and they play. any special actions needed here that this newbie missed?[:)]

I'm having a similar issue! I have to right click and select Play from the Flash Menu for every .swf file on a slide (when using the View Module mode...not sure if it happens if I actually published it).

When I had 2.3 all was working / playing just fine, this seemed to show up after I upgraded to 2.4 - any ideas?

Bug found in 2.4 20080819.

Due to changed slide event mechanism Flash object start playing and immediately stops on event (in IE only).

Will be fixed in the next build. Until that, quick workaround is to attach to Flash object's onafterdisplay event slightly delayed call of method PLAY. I.e.:
DELAY (0.1 sec, Infinite=No)
METHOD (object_ID, PLAY)

Hi, Blaine,

usually no additional actions is needed. If file names are web-friendly and browser /player security settings are not involved, then I have no idea... Please send me a sample.

Thanks for the reply. I added mouseover action to the swf file and it begins to play that way. but how do i get it to play automatically when it appears?
