Depending on your page layout, another neat "trick" is to have your SWF, videos, etc., play in popup windows within Lectora. This may be more involved than you want at this time, but maybe reference this when you are more comfortable with Lectora.1. Create a chapter that is separate from your content flow. Exclude all objects for that chapter. If you have a TOC, don't include this chapter. 2. Within that chapter, create pages with the external file (SWF, video, whatever) imported.3. Size each page as necessary. Leave extra space if you want a controller for a video file.4. Within your content page where you click on something to launch the external file, assign the action to open the page in the other chapter in a separate window5. Assign page dimensions to match that page. There are other options (scrolling, etc.) you can select.This is a nice way to display necessary information from the content page without worrying about where the external file is going to play. It just plays over that page.Edited By: JDH on 2008-12-12 20:48:8
