Captivate 3's "Flash Player 9" output uses AS2. @elearningdeveloper Not sure what's causing your problem... I'd head over to the Adobe Captivate user forum and post your problem there. Also, I know IE7 is notorious for strange caching behavior... maybe you can check into that angle. @ged

It seems to have a publish to flash player 9 option? Are you talking about Captivate 3?
It seems to have a publish to flash player 9 option?

I am building a custom Flash player of swf and Captivate swf files. The player pre-loads a series of swf files, and begins to play the first one when loaded. The first time the player loads the files (when the browser cache is empty of these files), the Captivate-generated swf files sometimes do not start, or indeed start, but without being visible. Sometimes a custom scrubber works to get them to show, other times, going to the next slide and coming back is the only thing that reveals them. My preloader calls rdcmndRewindAndStop after loading a swf - without this line, they would start playing. Once cached, all swf files run fine. Do you have any idea what might be causing this to happen? Alternatively, if you would like to share any good resources related to complex scripting of captivate swf files, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.
