[Xerte] Incorporating Captivate movies in Xerte 1.7

[Paul Swanson]

I'm using Adobe Captivate 3 swfs with Xerte. I can get them to play just
fine, but I would like to figure out how to detect when the swf has
finished playing, and then take some action (like display a button or
automagically go to the next page). I've tried using the onMovieComplete
event, but it doesn't seem to trigger. Does that only work with FLV
movies?

Here's what I tried:

I have a graphic icon with an id of 'ratesSWF'. I added the swf to the
url property and set Autoplay to 1. The movie loads and plays. I follow
the graphic icon with an Event-type interaction. The event property is
set to 'onMovieComplete' and the icon property is set to 'ratesSWF'. The
Event response has a Text icon attached that displays 'Movie Complete'.
But when the swf is finished, the text does not display.

Captivate 3 has the option to execute JavaScript on slides. Would Xerte
be able to detect this? If so, how would I go about it?

Thanks!
