I
don't know if the Wink version makes a difference but with the portable
wink
I've tested with its unchecking the preloader and using the moviesize
and
interactivity options which make the difference. Created an

Looks like I am supporting wink now as well then :)

Please repoint your browsers at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_876

You'll note the first page swf is small and the second page swf is
massive.

To get a full size (unshrunk?) swf from wink - do the following

Project | Project Settings | Change Output File Type to "Uncompressed
Macromedia Flash (*.swf)"

Then render as you normally would.

The file was ten times bigger (in terms of file size), so you may want
to experiment with what works best.

Hope this helps

Pat

As Pat said, most likely the movie was in fact just very small - I'll
try it myself tomorrow, but the example Paul sent works now you can
override width and height,

I've tried using Wink swfs with Xerte but had no success - I just got a
blank stage loading (with the Wink control bar I seem to remember) -
clearly there was something there but it didn't seem happy to display.
I'm quite keen on using Wink to generate quick instructional video clips
for Xerte and would certainly be interested if anyone finds out why the
wink swfs didn't work.

Dear list,

are there any caveats in using Wink as source for swf files (e.g. in

page templates)?

I used Wink for a demo of  an ip-telephone, saved as compressed swf

file. This file  I
inserted in a flash page. The preview showed every time (independent of

various
changings in size, background, speed rate etc.) that cursor movements

and dynamic
content changes between the Wink frames were not totally erased. They

were aggregated
like shadows giving the impression of writing on already used paper.

I would appreciate every information on that subject, because it seems

to be of general interest.

Paul Manthey
