Any Options other than rebuilding solution in Captivate 4?

We developed a solution using Captivate 5.....now we found out that it cannot publish using AS2.... and some users are using Flash 7 (no control over it).

Are there any solutions rather than purchasing Captivate 4 and rebuilding it in Captivate 4?

For Example:

Converter for C5 to C4

A plugin to enable backward compatibility for saving as C4

A plugin to enable Flash 7 to run solutions built with Captivate 5

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There is no Cp5 to Cp4 converter I'm afraid, and Cp5 (like all previous versions of Captivate) does not allow you to save a project to an earlier Cp file format.

You cannot copy Cp5 slides and past them into Cp4 and retain all objects.  You do however have the option of copying a Cp5 slide and pasting it into Cp4 as an image if that's any good to you.

I realise that Cp5 only supporting AS3 will be a disappointment to you, but this fact has been quite well publicised ever since Cp5 was released.

I take it when you developed your solution using Cp5 you were unaware that the client was stuck on Flash 7 with no plans to upgrade?  If at all possible I would suggest that this client is being very backward in their thinking.  AS3 came in with Flash Player 9.  Could they not even consider upgrading as far as that?
