It will be quite interesting to see how Captivate 4 addresses this issue. I heard from a very reliable source (as reliable as it gets…but that’s all I can say) that Captivate 4 (if that’s what the next version is going to be called) will have the ability to publish swf’s to AVM2/ActionScript 3 format.

Got back last night from this free event sponsored by Adobe. I’m located in the Philly suburbs, so a 3.5 hour drive to NYC on Sunday night (NJ Turnpike was backed up….) and a 2.5 hour drive back, but it was well worth it.
There were about 300 attendees, with plenty of room left (well, not [...]
No bloat….nice! A nice article for those who just need to create FLV’s of good quality and small (as possible) filesize.
Just a quick tip as this comes up from time to time via emails to me - How do I control Captivate swf’s that are loaded into the Captivate-generated “skin.swf”?
Adobe has overhauled their documentation for Captivate (I’m guessing with the release of version 3, which was announced today) and in the livedocs for Captivate is [...]

Anyone who has learned or attempted to learn ActionScript in the past has either purchased, read, or at least heard of Colin Moock and his awesome books, particularly ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide which is, in my opinion, THE book for learning to code for Flash.
Well, although WAY late (AS 3 is already [...]
This could be used for pretty much anything (photos, slides, etc) besides the original intent of a simple and easily modifiable elearning course architecture that leveraged XML to load in the content dynamically. I was recently asked about how best to develop elearning in Flash, from an architectural standpoint. Clearly XML is the way to [...]
I AM NO LONGER OFFERING THIS COURSE. Thank you to everyone who attended previous sessions - it was a great success and it seems everyone enjoyed the courses. However, with the release of ActionScript 3.0 with the latest versions of Flash (and Flex, Air, whatever else they come up), it would be irresponsible of me [...]
Example “Embedded” FLV:
Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.
[Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page]
document.getElementById(”player2″).style.display = “”;
var s2 = new SWFObject(”http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/flv-embed/flvplayer.swf”,”player2″,”320″,”260″,”7″);
s2.addParam(”wmode”,”transparent”);
s2.addParam(”allowscriptaccess”,”always”);
s2.addParam(”allowfullscreen”,”true”);
s2.addVariable(”height”,”260″);
s2.addVariable(”width”,”320″);
s2.addVariable(”file”,”http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/videos/video.flv”);
s2.addVariable(”link”,”http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/videos/video.flv”);
s2.write(”player2″);
I recently was asked to help with adding embedded flash video to a WordPress blog. There are a few different WordPress plugins available for this [...]
