Creating custom Flash playback controls
You can create custom Flash playback controls. You can use either Flash MX or Flash 8 to open
the Flash file and modify buttons, add colors, and so on. You can locate the Flash file that
contains the SWF playbars in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
2\Templates\PlaybackFLA. The SWF images are stored in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 2\Gallery\PlaybackControls\SwfBars folder.
When creating custom SWF playback controls, you must follow these guidelines:
•
The source FLA file of the skin is stored in the following path:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Templates\PlaybackFLA
•
The control names and symbols must not change.
•
The playbar must be present on the Stage with the instance name, pbcBar_mc.
•
The playbar must have the cpPlaybar identifier in the library.
•
The Export for action script option must be selected for cpPlaybar in the Library.
•
The actions at the action layer must not be changed.
•
All buttons must be stored at the library root.
•
The registration points must not be changed. The registration point for every symbol is at the
center (important for editing,) except for the following symbols:
■
-icoProgress (top left)
■
- icoThumb (top center)
■
- icoThumbBase (top left)
•
The published SWF file of the skin must be stored in the following path:
<root Directory>\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Gallery\PlaybackControls\SwfBars
(The skin editor picks the file from this location.)
