i am trying import a captivate file into flash website. I have created a button to link to to the file, but when the captivate file is imported flash breaks the file up into idividual frames, rather than a whole movie.

Is there a way to link to a .swf file from a button, and have the .swf file play in a new window?

this website is not going to be published to the web, so the movie needs to be within the flash (if you see what i mean…)

basically, i need a way of loading a captivate movie from flash. I have got as far as loading the movie, which plays fine, but there is no way of closing the movie once it is loaded. Hence, i have to reload the flash site again.

thanks for any help!
