Hey, i have a flash file that's reading data from an external XML file. When i add the Flash file alone it doesn't seem to work anymore. Do i have to add the XML file too? How do i do this?Hey, i have a flash file that's reading data from an external XML file. When i add the Flash file alone it doesn't seem to work anymore. Do i have to add the XML file too?

You have to include the xml file in your title by clicking on:-Title Properties- then Add fileDepending on how you are publishing this may differ. You will notice that Lectora puts "animations" in the images folder. It also might work to put your xml in this directory. Another way to go is to embed your flash movie using the html object and the macromedia embed tags.Either way though 2 things to note are:- Your flash movie will not play correctly in preview mode if it uses external files (xml). You must publish the title to see it play correctly.- Make sure to include all external files. And that the files are in the correct directory structures.Good luck. I use flash with external files and lectora quite a bit and have been very successful.Simon
