Question

Can Presenter 10 publish a stand-alone .swf file?

I need to embed a published Presenter file into a Captivate file as an animation. With Presenter 8, the published .swf file cannot play without the resource folders/files, and therefore it does not work in Captivate as an animation. To get around this, I used a launch button with Java script to open the published Presenter file in a separate window, and I included all the resource files in the Captivate file's published folder. The only problem is that when the Presenter lessons are played on the LMS, the learner sees an error message that the player cannot communicate with the LMS--which it doesn't need to. The Presenter file does not have a quiz, only the Captivate file which serves as a wrapper for the Presenter lessons. (The lesson will play on the LMS if you click Cancel on the error message.)

I thought I read somewhere that Presenter 10 creates a stand-alone .swf file and wanted to verify this. Maybe upgrading would solve my problem.

The error message on the LMS is: "Error initializing communication with LMS.'

Yeah, Presenter doesn't really work when importing into another application. Taking a Captivate SWF and embedding it in a Presenter presentation works great, but not the other way around. Could you take the Captivate SWF and put it in your Presenter presentation and then uploat the Presenter piece to the LMS? Could they go up as seperate objects (one from Presenter and one from Captivate)?

Thank you, Jorma. That would work, but I need a single course file with multiple lesson files, and I need the knowledge check to be in Captivate. I think if I embed the Captivate quiz file in Presenter, it won't be able to communicate the learner's score to the LMS. Also, if I combine all the Presenter lessons into a single file, it will be extremely large and hard to work with. I may have to do it that way, though.
