Confusing message in Flash

[tonyzed]

Sadly, my organisation still has Windows 2000, so upgrading to the latest version of everything is not an option.

I export Captivate 3 movies as Flash Player 7

I then run them with Flash MX 2004, which has the publish settings as Flash Player 7.

When I preview the captivate movie from within Flash it gives me the message in the Output box

this.getSWFVersion() = 7
incrementWait = 1
onLoad m_movie = null
onLoad m_movie = null
onLoad m_movie = null

However when I look at my compiled flash file no error message and the thing works OK

I am confused. Should I worry?

Sorry but now I'm more than confused. Why are you using Flash to run your movies? Surely you realize that if Flash wasn't in the picture at all you would be able to create something for an end user to see. All they need is the Flash Plug In or Add In installed for their browser.

Perhaps it will help others to solve your issue if you can better articulate exactly what it is you are doing in Flash. Additionally, you may wish to post this question in the Flash forums to see if a Flash user has an answer or explanation for you.

Cheers... Rick

Yes you are probably right. I'll post it in a Flash Forum

FYI I use Flash as the "shell" if you like for my e-learning, as I have a number of simulations I want to display, and Captivate, while wonderful, isn't there yet as a fully functional authoring tool - I need netter navigation than it offers, and I can create that in Flash.

So I have buttons that 'play' Flash Movied creted in Captivate - and that is when the errors occur.
