Thanks for the replies folks!

Sarah - that software looks interesting and is certainly priced competitively. Can you keep me posted about any findings you have from it?

Paulie - You're right that maybe I should get our IT involved to make something for me (unsurprisingly they're very busy!). The ...

That's an excellent way of doing it Dave. Many thanks!

Hi, bit of a complicated question to ask - which is why I can't find it in the search. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to achieve!

I have written a large HTML5 project (approx 250MB). This is being sent out on CD to install on servers in locations with poor internet access. Our IT has ...

Sorry - just realised what I wrote was a nonsense so please disregard.

I've tried a couple of different ways of doing this and neither works exactly how I want to do it.

1. If I add it as a multimedia file, I can't resize the ...

I had this problem in a project a few years back, albeit in an older version of Flare (can't remember the number).

Every time I changed a topic, the previous version was saved as a .bak file and these were all ending up in the project.

That's perfect Kai. Solved all my problems (well, Flare related ones anyway). Apologies for being a doofus

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm tearing my hair out about this. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I've managed to display the sub-topic alongside the default menu on the left (the reason I couldn't get it working was I was specifying the path to the Content folder when it ...
