Flash control on dialog = problem for Dev edition user

Post by scotteb »

I own IA Dev edition. I have created an install where I selected the Alpha theme (everyone loves it so I don't plan to change). The situation is that the progress dialog contains a Flash control, but a default file is not provided AND I cannot edit the dialog with the Dev edition. I considered eliminating the dialog, but the 80 MB install really needs it.
1. Is there a property I can set at runtime to hide the Flash control (users will wonder why it says "add Flash here")?
2. If we do locate or produce a suitable Flash animation, I assume I simply name the file "movie.swf" and add it to the script as a Creative. Correct?

Best,
Scott

Unfortunately, you won't be able to edit the form without Studio edition. You will need to name any flash file "movie.swf" and include it as a support file.

There is a default movie file provided with InstallAware you should be able to find at:
<install path>\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\interop\templates

Thank you for the details.
<install path>\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\interop\templates
I have <install path>\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\interop, but no sub-folders (I did search for SWF files before posting) maybe it could be available on a support download link :wink:

Best,
