I've inherited a large CHM file which used to have SWF (flash) embedded in it. The SWF files appear when the CHM is decompiled. but don't play when it's recompiled. I assume the original author used a third party tool to integrate the SWF data. Can this be done using the MS help workshop, or do I need to source another tool ? Bob

You'll need to add the .swf files to the FILES list in your project (.hhp) file, as otherwise the compiler will fail to pull them into the help file. To do this in HTML Help Workshop: 1) Click the Add/Remove Topic Files button on the Project tab. 2) Click Add. 3) In the File Name field, type *.swf. 4) Click Open, and then select the files to add.
