Flash Object

The Flash object lets you playback Adobe Flash files in your presentations.

To provide playback of flash files the Adobe Flash ActiveX is used, and as long as this ActiveX supports the flash content you can play it. Both compressed and uncompressed flash files are supported.

Flash duration

When you add a Flash Object in DISE will automatically try to figure out the duration of the flash file. The duration is calculated using the frame rate of the flash file and the number of frames that the flash file contains. In most cases the duration will be calculated correctly. However, if you are using a flash file that contains ActionScript or other similar features the Flash Object will probably not be able to calculate the duration correctly.

Dependency on external files

Should the flash file be dependent on external files you need to send these files along and put them in a directory where they can be located. This is done in DISE Bridge for a specific destination by selecting Edit Destination > Add Additional Files. You can also have DISE Probe or DISE Parser download these files for you.

Note: There's no guarantee it works if the dependencies are complex.

Sound

Please note that sound output from flash content is not supported.
