[Xerte] Problems Embedding Interactive Flash Animations

[Gavin Reynolds]

Hi All!
 
I have just started 'playing around' with Xerte and have repurposed some previously created learning materials. So far everything seems to be working well and it appears to be a very effective and useful tool!
 
Here's the problem...I downloaded the pageTemplates.xtp file and have hit a bit of a wall! I have no problem with creating many different question types and embedding video/images/text etc. However when I try to embed an interactive flash document using the template wizard it takes away any interaction that is included in the animation thus making it useless!
 
I have had a look into the code behind this and have looked into the textSWF.rlm included in the models folder and have noticed that the swf is being treat as a graphic rather than a component and I feel that this may be the problem. I have already tried to change this code to use a component and have so far failed...Does anyone have any ideas of how I could fix this?
 
Kind Regards
