.swf files from camtasia does not work in NVU

[Madelaine]

Hi
I am using Camtasia to make a flash movies from a powerpoint presentation.
I am also using NVU as my mysiwyg program. (I know I should use Dreamweaver, but I really jsut need some simple pages) When I am done I get several .swf files generated from it. One is the preloder, one is the start/stop buttons and one is the powerpoint presentation itself. I also have a .html file in all of that.
I know I need to go into the source in NVU and put in the code myself. The code I have been told to use is this one (the xxx.swf is where the file goes)

 "object 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/ pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" 
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
height="480" width="600"><param name="movie" 
value="xxxx.swf"><param name="quality" 
value="high"> 
<embed src="xxx.swf" quality="high" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="480" 
width="600"></object>" 
 

I can not make my flash movie play! I dont know which file it is that "triggers" the rest to start (preloader, buttons,movie) I can make each one of them start separately but I need them to all work together at the same time.
I want the people that get to my site to be able to start the movie themself and to stop it whenever they want to.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I know that it cant be this hard. What am I doing wrong?

In the web browser, what appears in the menu when you right-click on the spot where the flash object is embedded?

What ever I put in there works -by itself- like the loader works and the presentation works, but not together since it is 3 swf files all together that is getting made through camtasia. When i pull the html file into a browser it works, but i cant put it into that code taht i wrote, it wont work.
I used another program from Dreamingsoft called powerpoint to flash, and when i generated that swf file this is what happened:

And they are of NO help when I try adn ask them.

I am not familiar with Camtasia; did the HTML file that it produced work correctly?

PS do you have a ad/banner blocker set to your computer?
and how big is your .swf file.
can you stream your .swf file?

I took a look at your swf file after you said you have 3 swf files. What is happen is the project wants to run, but I think you have a stop() action for each swf file. Rework the files so that you only have one .swf. Just make three seperate scene without any stop() actions. You will need to figure out how long to make each scene thou. Normal I set my scene for about 5-6 secs (thats about 25 frames) depending if it has text or not. For that matter you could just have one scene and have your frames do all the work.

Well, when i make it in Camtasia i get these files:
swfobject.js
cam_embed.js
FlashTemplate.css
newesttest.html
newesttest.swf
newesttest_config.xml
newesttest_controller.swf
newesttest_nofp_bg.gif

I have used Camtasia a couple of times. Can you tell me how you import the files and what you did once the files where import. Also please tell me how you exported the files.

There is a program called Sorenson Squeeze 4 which you can import your .swf files and make it into one file and exported as a .swf or any other video file.

Also please tell me what you want your swf file to do. Is this your homepage, do you want the user to control what they see.
