Does anyone have a way of getting rid of the first and last white page, I want the file to look like a book with a cover. Instead it looks as though its already open.

(One way is to colour the background grey to match the browser window, but I want to place in a website window so this is not rreally an option)

“I’ve tried to create a separate Flash pre loader file to load it into but no luck as the Indesign generated swf just plays through all of the frames. Any suggestions?”

Try eDocker – http://www.prepress.fi/eDocker_eng

It makes you a preloader for your exported SWF. And lot´s of other things too, like zoom or page scrolling. You can try it free, you can actually make your first projects, even commercial ones for free. It works fully for few days.

I was wondering if there was a way to get this to work as a pdf? I’d like to use it as a sales piece and am having a hard time getting the page turn animation to work.

Once I have the Flash magazine, what options are there then for other people to view it?
Do I have to host it on a website? Can they see it from a CD?
A tutorial on this final part would be fantastic.
Thanks

As also mentioned above by Tom…
What can I do about a swf with a file size of over 4MB?
I’ve tried to create a separate Flash pre loader file to load it into but no luck as the Indesign generated swf just plays through all of the frames. Any suggestions?
Thanks

My flash file isn’t working either. I created a magazine using Indesign CS4 and exported to swf. I did this a few months ago, and it was working up until a few days ago. The hyperlinks don’t work either.

Is possible create this effects in Adobe InDesign CS3 version?

Another big problem in Hyperlinks is:
If you need to export to swf and then use it on a web page, you can’t open hyperlinks into the same browser window – which is really stupid from Adobe…not to be able to specify a parameter for swf to open in _self…
Say you want to create a book and have a button that goes to one of your site’s html pages… What do you do?

Thanks Terry! I was in the process of taking a company newsletter to the next level so this was very timely and helpful!
