When publishing your Captivate projects as SWFs, it’s important to pay attention to the Project Title in the Publish dialog box. Why? The text you type in the Project Title field will be used in the HTML, SWF and Skin SWF files that are created when you publish a typical Captivate project (the skin SWF will be created if you use a skin).
In the example below, the words Kevin Project Name have been typed in the Project Title field. The problem isn’t with the words themselves… it’s the spaces between the words that will prove lethal. Published Captivate SWFs are typically uploaded to a Web server and spaces in file names are a very bad idea. If you allow spaces in your file names, you’ll end up with either broken links, network errors or both.
In the picture below, you’ll notice that I kept the name the same, but simply used underscores between the words. While spaces are a bad idea, underscores and perfectly acceptable.
Watch for Spaces in Media File Names
If you’ve added Full Motion Recordings (FMRs) or Flash Video (FLV) to your project, be wary of spaces in the media file names. When you publish your project, the FMRs and FLVs are actually published as external files. (This fact comes as a surprise to many developers who assume the FMRs and FLVs are contained within the main SWF that is created when the project is published.)
If the FMRs or FLVs have spaces in their file names, your good naming habits in the Project Title field when you publish won’t matter since both FLVS and FMRs keep their original media names (or the names the files were given when they were created or imported into a Captivate project). What’s a developer to do? Read on…
Prior to publishing, show the Library (View > Show Library) and observe the Media folder. If your clips contain spaces (such as those shown in the picture below), right-click the clips and choose Rename. Remove the space from the name and then press Enter. Then go ahead and publish the project.
