Thanks for your replies. Joel is right, I'm not in a position to say no, and in fairness the swf is a handy way of presenting the info online in a user-friendly format that also protects the content to some degree. In fact when two of them suggested it I was like 'Sure - I can find a way to do that, leave it with me' secretly tittering to myself; 'It's just a page transition - I've already got my Book file - how hard can it be?'
I looked at the eDocker link thanks - it seems a little expensive for a plug-in that does what InDesign is supposed to do anyway? Doubt I could present a convincuibng case for it, especially as this document is pretty much a one-off. Thanks for suggesting it though.
I'm new to scripting (although have a bit of experience with Flash - for all the good that'll do me) - do you know if the MultipageImporter script imports the pages as a graphic, or brings in and appends the document, text threads and all, preferably leaving it linked with the original file, which is really what I want to do isn't it? Surely there's a way to do that? You'd think? No?
I WANT to rebuild the thing in a single file, and could then regenerate a new ToC easily if need be, but can't find any way to do it that;
(a) doesn't take ages
(b) retains the link to the original and
(c) retains working hyperlinks and other interactive elements throughout when exported to swf.
One last thing;
You may want to start a new thread with an informative title with your question
I'm a total noob with forums, and simply don't know how to start a new thread.. In fact it took me 3 days to find and figure out how to reply to this thread (kept getting a 'header too large 413 error') Sad but true.
