Flash Movies Inside Articulate
Set-up and Tips
- For it to fit nicely inside the Powerpoint, the Flash stage should be set to 685px by 430px.
- Because Articulate generates in ActionScript 2.0, any custom Flash SWF’s must also be done as AS2.
- The default frame rate is 30 fps, so all SWF's inside Articulate must be 30 fps.
- Ensure you are not using the _root property (unless, of course, you need to interact with Articulate itself).
- Custom SWF's tend to begin around frame 3 for some reason. Put a leading buffer of a few frames before you execute a
stop();
. Some goofy animation at start is a good way to do this.
- To play audio, the code is:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound('congratulations');
s.start();
