Lee, is it possible to have a semi-transparent background for the text? I don’t want to do a solid color as it will hide too much of the video.

Is there any way that you can have the captioning appear at the top of the video? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Kirsten, you can always use the captions button component along with the captions component (in CS3 and CS4). You can always change the art on the caption button….

This is AWESOME! Thanks! The best part is that the captions are selectable!

[...] I stumbed upon this a few days ago whilst reading Layers magazine (a great publication). If you are a user of the (not so new anymore) Flash CS3 then you may have noticed the new Closed Captioning component. From the looks of this article it is super easy to implement this into your video. All you need in a n XML file! Plus you can style the text however you want! For more details follow the link. [...]

Is there a way to embed the video and other files with the export so everything is contained all in one file?

Fine, but how to automatically generate this fu… Timed Text-XML Format with Adobe Software (e.g. Sounbooth) ? Or does anybody know a converter: FLVCoreCuePoints XML (from Soundbooth) >> Timed Text-XML ??? Thanks

using the files listed I followed the tutorial through several times, but each time the captions that display are cut off visibly. the top half of the words are cut off. is there a way to adjust where they are placed or display on the video?

Hi, this is a great tutorial!! Only wish i had found it sooner.

Could you post some more info for using this to internationalize the content, i presume its something to do with the “en” statement?

This is a great tutorial!

Everything worked except numbers are not showing up in the captions and also some punctuation-any ideas?
