Thanks, Julian – that’s another excellent suggestion. Will try both options this morning and go with one of them – thank you!

It’s a good idea. FlashPaper’s been dying away the last few years. The other thing you can do is use the new window page to open a pdf in a new window? Upload the pdf via media and quota, then use the URL to
open the new window

Thanks, Alistair. You have suggested an excellent work around and, as you suggest, in some ways it is even better way to share the resource! I can now finish off that particular LO this morning. Thanks again
for your help on this one!

Hi Bob
Given that Flash paper is probably the least accessible way of communicating text I winder if it’s not better just to upload a Word doc or PDF of the same content into the system and hyperlink to it. You can
upload almost any kind of file into a Xerte object via the Properties panel>Media and Quota > Import.
Ditching FlashPaper would also mean you could opt for html output instead and use the resource on all other kinds of devices as well.

Hi Julian
Thanks for your interest in this query. I’ve tried again today and have the same problem with any files converted today using Print2Flash. Older swf files created on the same website upload and play without any
difficulty. I’ve attached is the file in question which is intended to form the basis of a vocationally related proofreading task. Can you upload it into a Flash Paper template at your end?
Thanks again for your interest!

Hmm. I don’t know. What’s different between that file and others that have worked successfully?

What happens? Are you playing out in HTML5 or Flash?

Subject: Uploading SWF files
Hi everyone
Today when I’ve been trying to create a flashpaper template I’ve had problems uploading the swf files I had converted using the Print2flash web-based tool. I’ve tried older and the newest versions of XOT and
have the same problem. However, I am able to upload swf files that I converted a while ago. Anyone having similar problems? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
regards
Bob
