How to create an item that will scroll (like a web page) in Captivate 8

Hello All and Thank You in advance for assistance in this item.

I would like to have an image that will scroll with the users clicking/dragging on the Captivate slide similar to what a web page.

This image will have smart shapes for the user to click on.

How can I create the scroll?

How can I lock or secure the smart shape to stay where I want it on the larger image when it is scrolled?

I am using captivate 8.

Thank you again for the help,

Kelli

    I would put the image in an actual html file inside of a div with height and width. Zip that file and insert as an html5 animation.

    There are several way to allow the user to click on the actual window div and drag. GreenSock has the best but there are JavaScript solutions as well, not as smooth though.

    GreenSock | Draggable

    Scroll down to the 3rd example

    jQuery

    http://jqueryui.com/draggable/#default

    You can also put a smartshape on top of the HTML5 animation.

    The only solution I am aware of is ONLY for SWF output and is explained on the third Youtube video down from the top of this page:
