Hi.
I have a series (5, to be exact) of Captivate movies which I have published as Flash swf's. I am trying to have a Flash "container" file (which has a play/stop button) load the Captivate movies into an empty movie clip on the Flash canvas. The play button would load in the first of the five movies into the movie-clip. Once this video is done, it would link up to the next video clip in the sequence and play that video. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I can play one movie-clip at the moment. But, I just can't string the additional swf's together so that when one end's another one starts.
My idea was to have an array of the movie filenames and go through iteratively and choose the next movie when needed. To check if a movie was finished playing, I would create a background process using the setInterval() method to periodically check if the movie was done. When it was, I would move to the next movie in the array.
I'm just not sure how efficient or how plausible this solution is. If there is another solution out there, I'd love to hear it.
Also, I'd rather not export the Captivate movies to Flash. The Flash file tends to be quite large and I don't want to use up a whole lot of disk space on the Server.
Thanks,
