NCAM: CC For Flash [Closed Captioning Component]

NCAM has developed a Flash component that can be used to display captions of Flash video and audio content. These captions are stored in external files formatted in the W3C’s DFXP format which can be created with MAGpie, NCAM’s free captioning application. CC for Flash can also display captions saved in Apple’s QTtext format. QTtext files can be created by professional caption authoring tools, with MAGpie or with CaptionKeeper, NCAM’s line-21 caption-conversion tool.
