Thanks Hemmingway, but I would prefer to control the animation from the instructional text and have the animation be hands free. I could add the control buttons to the flash file but I'd rather not. I'm just perplexed why the Lectora built in actions of Play and Stop don't work on a Captivate generated .swf. As I stated earlier, the Lectora actions work fine if the .swf was created in Flash- but not Captivate.Appreciate the suggestion.
