[Xerte] swf won't play

[Gregory P Sweet]

I have limited access to the swf source code. It's a swf created using
Captivate. I've got almost no oop experience (it took me a long time and
several classes to get proficient with Aware code) so "listening for an
event"? You might as well have said jabberwock for a woozle as it would
have had just as much meaning for me. I was looking to do this without
code, i.e exactly like using a wait icon in Authorware would let you do
this without code.

I've got almost four days invested and haven't been able to get the
simplest little thing to work, i.e., getting the flow to wait for a mouse
click,  so you might imagine my fustration levels are reaching critical.
