Hi.
I’ve been searching all over, but I can’t find info anywhere, so I’m turning to you guys.
You may be familiar with the FLV-playback component and the cue point functionality. Cue points can be added through Actionscript using the addASCuePoint(). This is very useful when loading an XML-file with captions for the FLV-video.
Here is my problem; I don’t have an FLV-video, but I have a SWF-clip. The SWF is loaded into a movieclip-placeholder. From a technical perspective, I don’t understand that there can be any problem adding cue points to a SWF instead of an FLV. But this must be done in another way than the one mentioned above.
Do you have any suggestions on how to acheive this?
All thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
What do you want to do with your concept … meaning why add cuepoints in swf ?
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
I’m creating eLearning content through Adobe Captivate (screen recorder software) and Powerpoint-like slides in Flash, with attached audio.
Captivate only outputs SWF-files, and when creating slides for web-presentation, I don’t think FLV would fit. Captivate actually has an embedded closed captioning available, but I’m more interested in getting XML-driven captions going, so that I can provide subtitles in multiple languages without having to maintain several projects - only XML’s. [COLOR=“Gray”][SIZE=1]Of course there is another small issue here; Screenshot language and narration language, but as long as I get the captions in the correct language, I think this should be good enough. Don’t you?[/SIZE][/COLOR] :beer2:
Hope this clarifies the issue. Looking forward to your suggestions.
