Importing XFL from InDesign CS4

#1 11-08-2008, 11:43 AM

not sure if this should be here or in InDesign forum, I'll try both.
When I export a multi-paged doc from ID CS4 to XFL and open it in Flash CS4, a
few things happen that I don't understand. #1, I can't get the buttons that I
assigned in ID to do anything in Flash (perhaps they don't work until converted
to a SWF) and #2, when I preview the movie in Flash, it sequences thru the 5
pages rapidly without stopping, in a speedy loop. I tried separating the pages
into scenes, but that doesn't seem to help. I'm new to Flash, never having used
it before CS4 and would appreciate any assistance.

This is the "normal behavior". When you export an InDesign File to XFL and open
with Flash, each page is converted in a symbol and is located in separated
frames. You will lost behaviors and interactivity like as buttons, then you
need re-creates in flash.

Sorry for my english.

thanks Marliton,
The videos on the Adobe website make it seem that the interactivity is carried over into Flash but, I guess not.
