Question

Captivate 9 Publish ONLY to HTML5 Issue

Hello all.  A hanful of our existing users for a course are getting an security warning for Flash.  That said, we are testing the option to just publish as HTML.  When doing so, the course works, except for a Drag and Drop animation effect (upon success, an object needs to fade and zoom out).  Instead, with just HTML, it measures success, but does not apply the effects mentioned above, whereas the SWF version does.  Is there any way in Captivate to test, or preview which features will NOT work with an HTML-only publish?

Thanks!

Adam

Yes, check the Window > HTML5 Tracker for any flagged items that will not be supported in the HTML-published version.

There's quite a bit of HTML-publish related items here, including a reference to the above:

Did you try without that animation?  Effects output is not consistent between SWF and HTML5.

The HTML tracker will not tell you at all that an effect is not working as expected, sorry Erik. In the most recent versions effects are often working better for HTML output than for SWF output. The problem is that you only see the full functionality of HTML output after publishing and uploading to a webserver or a LMS.
