I have tried 'all possible' settings as i Publish SWF-files from Adobe Captivate2. They seem OK, if they are played inside a HTM-content. I had expected that I could insert them into Acrobat 7.09 as Flash files. The following error-alert is thrown: Cannot create the movie annotation because the movie could not be loaded. This occur if the file cannot be found or the URL is ureeachable.
Do yoy have any good piece of adwice?

Did you check the "Multimedia" panel and the "Multimedia Trust" panel in Acrobat's preferences ?

Thanks, yes - prefs are checked.
I got the piece of advice (from the Captivate forum) to ensure the SWF's were set to no compression. It did help in so far, that the insertion of the SWF-file didn't bring up any error messages. However, the 'movie' will not play. It stays on showing BUFFERING for ever. :/

Thanks,
My Quick time rev is 7.1.6, and it plays SWF's from other sources than my own Captivate2.

Hi, I wander if I should be the only one facing this problem. So, if you (out there) are able to insert and execute Captivate2 SWF files in Acrobat release 7.09 please give a short statement. This could sure give me a hint whether I should look deeper into my applications at all. I feel I have tried 'everything' by now!

Does it work if you tell Quicktime to play Flash (it's off by default) ...

I've been using Acrobat since v1.0 and still get amazed by its power. An Acrobat ACE since 1999

I believe that QT 7.x does not support the level of flash that Captivate 2 is creating
