Question

Cannot get next captivate to open when published as a zip

I am currently using Cap 4, but have the trial of Cap 5 as well.

I have a 7 mod course and need to be able to open the next Captivate module from the the last slide of the current module.

I have inserted a button with a path to the next movie, it works in both versions 4 and 5 when I publish in a folder, but when I publish as a zip file I get an error stating it cannot find the path.

I have moved the swf and html into the zip with the current movie, but it still errors out.

Can we "chain" the modules this way when publishing as a zip?  I do need it to be a zip file for loading into LMS.

I'd appreciate any info that can help me out.

    How are you asking the next project to open?  Are you using a URL or the Project File Name?  How are you publishing the files?

    I've used this technique before with success (although never loaded it into an LMS).  I used the Start/End under Preferences and linked to the Project name.  All of the .exe files were in the same zip folder.

    I'm not sure if the .exe works with an LMS, though.

    Hi Kate,

    Thanks for the info, when I look in my zip, I do not see a file with an .exe extension.

    They all seem to be .xsd, I don't know if this is because I'm publishing with a metadata file due to scorm/LMS requirements.
