How to create a Widget?

Just looked at the documentation about Widgets for CP4 and it states that to create widget you go into Flash CS3 or CS4 and:

Create static widgets
Select File > New > Widget in Flash.
In the Create New Widget dialog box, do the following:
In the Widget menu, select Static.
In the ActionScript Version menu, select the ActionScript version that you plan to use when writing the widget code in Flash.
Click OK.
In Flash, right-click the Actions layer in the Timeline, and select Actions.
The Actions panel appears with the template code for the static widget. Customize this code to create your widget.


Well....there is no 'widget' option in my version of CS4 Web Developer Edition. I take it this is one of the features reserved for the Elearning Developers Edition?

    Hi Mark

    Are you looking for this menu in Flash? If so, that's the issue. I believe you begin from inside Captivate. In Captivate if you click File > New you should see "Widget in Flash".
