FLASH: Re: Publishing Flash text to html $MT

[Ray Broussard]

Thanks JD. Reinstalling flash gave me a fresh default.html file.


However, the fresh default.html file didn't totally solve the problem. It seems

that &MT is successful grabbing text from the flash movie if the text is either

in the main timeline or in a MC which is in the main timeline, but does not see

the text if the text is in a MC in a MC in the main timeline (or deeper). And,

when it did see the text string, it published it 33 times - the number of frames

the MC spans in the main timeline. Interesting, but I think I will simply copy

and paste the text out of my current project since $MT cannot see it.


Here is the default.html I used:

A. See this page for a Flash and the published html from the default.html above,

where the text is in a MC in the main timeline:

B. See this page for a Flash and the published html from the default.html above,

where the text is in a MC which is in a MC in the main timeline:

http://www.Photographicvr.com/flashtexttest/flashText2html-B.html


Stuffit archives of the .fla files from conditions A and B are posted here:
