Question

How to Export as FLA?

Sorry in advance: I asked this question on the "Export" forum, but got no reply.

On this page ( http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/integration/flash/) it says about exporting to Flash, "Each Adobe Captivate slide is automatically inserted into the Flash Timeline, with objects, images, audio, and backgrounds on individually labeled layers. Similarly, the Flash library is automatically updated with folders containing all the objects created in Adobe Captivate 3."

This is not working for me. Instead I'm getting a bunch of movie placeholders on my main timeline, with all the Captivate slides exported as SWF files, and I'm not able to edit anything.

What am I doing wrong? Does this have something to do with "full motion"?

    Hi a

    I'm not a Flash developer and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I can't claim to be one either.

    There are a few Flash folk that dabble in Captivate as well. I'm guessing they may be busy, otherwise your question would have been answered by now.

    You mentioned Does this have something to do with "full motion"?.

    My question to you is to ask if that is how you recorded using Captivate. Did you record only in Full Motion? Where you have a camcorder icon on each slide in your Film Strip? If so, I'm guessing that could explain it. Captivate and Full Motion are an odd coupling if you were just remaining in Captivate. Toss Flash into the picture and it's a new ball game.

    So if this is the case for you, try recording in Captivate's screen capture mode. Then try exporting THAT to Flash.

    Cheers... Rick
