Modified source .swi file, but site didn't change.

Article ID: KB101652

Question: I modified the Swish source file (.swi) but the movie didn't actually change in my web site.

Answer: You may need to export the Swish movie to .swf format, then import the new .swf into your web site and replace the existing one. Simply changing and saving the .swi file will not do anything at all to your web site .swf file (which is what is actually embedded in the page).

To export the Swish movie, hit Ctrl-E or go to File > Export > SWF. This should create a new file in the same folder where the .swi source file is. It should be called the same as your Swish source file but with an .swf extension.

Take this new .swf file and import it into your web site and replace the existing .swf file. Then, preview your web site and your new animation should show up.
