I just run into the following articule, "Developing a Flash Wrapper for Adobe Captivate " The author told that it is based on Action Script 2.0. Is there any information available creating the wrapper using Action Script 3.0? Where can I find the information related to this topic?

    That article was, of course, written outside of Adobe... I don't know of any Adobe-specific resources to help develop such a 'wrapper'... But there may be other third-party options.

    The link you point to discusses doing this for sake of a certificate. Is that what you need? There are 'widgets' available for Captivate that may satisfy your need...

    Or here's an article discussing development of such a widget, which may apply to what you're looking for:

    Hello Erik,

    Thank you for your answer. I guess I linked the wrong one. The correct link is in the following.

    http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/01/flash_connect_pro/index.php

    I think I got the widget part. The thing is I woud like to design the entier playbar or skin in flash and

    import captivate swf to the design. Do you happen to have any resource on it?

    Despite it's Adobe branding and name, I'm pretty sure the 'connectusers.com' site is not an Adobe site and is run by enthusiasts and supporters to offer additional resources and such...so it's not an actual Adobe item.

    What you want can certainly be done - we have such a player, developed in Flash, that can load published Captivate videos...and many others have too.

    I don't, however, know of any specific detailed resources on building such a thing, other than what's been pointed out already...
