Store the published SWF file of the skin in the following location:
<Installation Directory> \Gallery\Playback\SwfBars (on Windows); /Applications/Adobe Captivate
5/Gallery/Playback/SwfBars (on Mac OS). The Skin Editor picks the file from this location.
Flash button-naming conventions
Each SWF button contains three layers: a button, an icon, and an action layer.
The SWF filename consists of the following elements:
•
Acronym for playback control ("pbc")
•
Playback element identifier ("Btn" for button, "Bar" for bar, and so on)
•
Name of the button ("play").
Previewing skins
You can preview the changes you've made to your project skin from the Skin Editor dialog box. Whenever you set the
button colors, add or remove menus, or configure the positions of playbars, the preview reflects the changes
immediately.
The skin preview displays the first slide of the project. It displays the background image (if present) or the slide color.
No objects on the first slide are visible in the skin preview.
The skin preview is slow if it has a large background image. To overcome this performance issue, when configuring the
skins, you can insert a blank slide and set it as the first slide. Then, open the Skin Editor dialog box and configure the
skin changes. After making these changes, you can hide the first slide. The next slide that has the background image
appears in the skin preview for final viewing.
