Re: How to Embed a YouTube Video into my Topic

I have seen issues with the HTML viewer not always playing SWF images, depends on how your IE browser security is set, This is because the HTML help viewer is so old, it predates the idea that anyone would want to put in a video clip

Re: Support for "shortcut icon"?

Some Webservers allow you to put an ICO file in the root of the page, and the Browser will see it, no need to change Flare files at all..

Re: Best way to insert screenshots in Flare

Capture is quite good and the way it works with Flare is great, Snagit has it good points also, but Capture and Mimic are very easy to use if you like the flare interface

Re: Custom buttons in WebHelp Toolbar?

You can create your own buttons, and then on the Onclick action you can have it run a java script that you create that will direct you to what ever website you want.

Re: Flare support for TFS 2010 Beta?

I know in the past that Madcap Won't support Beta version of Browswers or other programs as they are too much in Flex, and they can change so dramatically, so I wouldn't use TFS 2010 Beta.
