@Lisa in CS4 movies won’t work in exported SWF as far as I’m aware, just buttons, hyperlinks and the page transitions. Alternate option, which you are already suggesting, is to convert to PDF Or they could look at using Flash to build their entire interactive portfolio of course.

I’m putting together an interactive portfolio with my students and a student asked if they could embed a movie or slideshow presentation maybe on ppt. obviously based on the above tutorial you can, but we are exporting ours as SWF and I tried and it wouldn’t play once I opened the html file. thoughts or suggestions.. or can this be done at all? I’d say for those students to just send me the PDF version, but w/o going into detail.. I won’t be able to open those files in acrobat and read them properly (acrobat’s not installed and tech guy can’t get it to work due to network issue) but I do run CS4 on my mac’s..
