[Xerte] Problems Embedding Interactive Flash Animations

[Patrick Lockley]

Hello,

 

Does "interactive flash document" mean a flash generated swf - or
something else?

 

I've just checked online with an interactive swf and it worked ok for
me, but that was out of flash.

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
