embedding software simulations into project

Morning,

I was wondering if what I am doing is correct and the best way of achieving my idea. As part of our captivate project I am recording some simulation of our software and displaying this within the project.

By default when you record new software simulation you specify the size and it creates the slides as per that size. What I am trying to achieve is embed the simulation onto slide(s) at a specific size, which is smaller than the actual main project so I can still display the background theme around it.

The only way I can think about doing this is creating the simulation in a separate project at the required size, and then when completed publish as a video file and import via the "Insert Video" object.

Is this the best way?

The one thing I cannot find out how to do is to hide the "Next" button and only show when the video has been completed.

I am using Captivate v. 11.5.1.499.

Thanks

Phil.
