You can create custom Flash playback controls for your project. Use either Flash CS3 or Flash CS4 to open the SWF file and modify buttons, add colors, and so on. The file that contains the SWF playbars is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\Templates\PlaybackFLA. The SWF images are stored in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\Gallery\PlaybackControls\SwfBars folder.

When creating custom SWF playback controls, follow these guidelines:

* Store the source FLA file of the skin in the following location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\Templates\PlaybackFLA.
* Don’t change the control names or symbols.
* The playbar must be present on the Stage with the instance name pbcBar_mc.
* The playbar must have the cpPlaybar identifier in the Library.
* The Export For ActionScript option must be selected for cpPlaybar in the Library.
* The actions at the action layer must not be changed.
* Store all buttons must be stored at the Library root.
* Don’t change the registration points. The registration point for every symbol is at the center (important for editing), except for the following symbols:
o – icoProgress (upper-left)
o – icoThumb (top-center)
o – icoThumbBase (upper-left)
* Store the published SWF file of the skin in the following location:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\Gallery\PlaybackControls\SwfBars (The Skin Editor picks the file from this location.)
