Workarounds for controlling the playback of Adobe Captivate 3 simulation SWFs in Adobe Director 11

Under an NDA on this one, but here's the scenario and workaround. (Note: This most likely only applies to simulations, not demonstrations):

Scenario

• A software simulation is captured and sweetened via Captivate
• An SWF is exported from Captivate
• The SWF is added to a Director movie
• "Traditional" Lingo to control the SWF via its playing state doesn't work as it's a simulation and the playing state truly is equal to zero. For example,

on exitFrame me
  if sprite(5).playing=0 then
    go to the frame+1
  else
    go to the frame
  end if
end

Workaround

• In Captivate, modify the simulation to include a blank slide at the end to allow the user to "Replay" the simulation. This blank slide holds until the button is clicked.
• In Director, hold the playhead forever and use other UI elements to control the display of the SWF
