THANK YOU! I got that error today…didn’t realize I had set in and out points accidentally (probably hit a short cut key)…totally saved me!

Thanks Jeremy.

And just in case you (or anyone else reading this) has to use Lectora (or any other program like it)…it turns out there are three snags:
1 – you have to set a parameter for the transparency because (as you said) it does not understand what it has
2 – you can’t see the footage of a swf until after you publish the file (so basically you have to keep publishing the darn thing until it works right, which makes aligning your transparent swf with the background image on screen a pain…personally I’d rather do the whole thing in FCP or Flash, but that’s not the way corporate America works…)
3 – before you publish it, you have to add your flv file to the piece you are building (which I did, but…) and after it publishes you have to move it into the image folder from whatever folder it put it in, which will of course not be the image folder

So there you have it. Thanks for getting me on the right path.

Best,
Shari

I should be more specific in that when I bring the flv in as video – it puts a black background on the video (i.e., it’s no longer transparent/white)

How do I get rid of the background it added?

Hello.

I was reading this fabulous thread and could use some more help.

I created the flv file (it is definitely transparent since I can bring it into flash and put color behind it)

I cannot bring it into Lectora (the program building the elearning piece I am creating)

Do you know why? When I bring it in, it just shows up as a white box…I can’t figure it out and Lectora does not seem to have any help on it’s website.

I have tried bringing it in as video and as animation…at a loss…

Thanks for any and all help.
