Question

Cannot save a project once animation is added

When I try to save a file after adding animation (swf), the file doesn't save but it acts like it does.

I've checked the default folder to make sure I didn't just save the file to the wrong place.

Is this a known issue and is there a workaround? I found the workaround for the drop-down menus disappearing after you add animation - which was very helpful!

Running Captivate 2 on WinXP SP2. This is on my desktop and all files are local.

    Hi PilexWriter

    Are you referring to the flashing drop-down menus? I'm guessing not, as you say you found that workaround. I'm guessing it doesn't work for you.

    What exactly are you seeing that tells you things aren't being saved?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    When I browse to the folder where I'm saving my files, there is no .cp file in the folder. If i save the project without animation, the .cp file is there, but when I add animation and save, the .cp file disappears. This is making it impossible to make changes to my files! Unfortunately I'm not good enough to get everything right the first time!! :)

    Thanks!

    Hi again

    Where exactly is this folder? Are you able to post or send along a screen capture of Windows Explorer with the folder contents visible?

    Additionally, What type of .SWF are you adding? Is it one of the stock animations that ships with Captivate or something of your own or another's creation?

    Cheers... Rick
