How to use Progressive video in aggregated file

Question

I'm using Captivate 5 and have several .swf modules to publish along with their supporting video files (progressive download).

How can I package these into an executable or aggregated output so the videos play? I can't load the videos into the aggregated file, therefore the videos don't play.

It would be great if there was a way to imbed these videos into Captivate, but I don't think that's possible and the company hasn't purchased Flash to use that as an option.

I also can't seem to get a large aggregated or executable file to run. It just has the loader, and doesn't show anything else.

I can chunk it into thrids, but I'm just wondering if there's another way to publish this for use as one file, instead of 13 different modules.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thank You!!!

What major and minor version of Captivate 5 are you on?

The Aggregator is designed to be a single standalone file output for several Captivate published projects. It can output as either a single SWF or a single EXE or even a single PDF.

Yes there are issues with trying to encapsulate video files into this package. You might be able to try hosting the videos as F4V format on a streaming host service and then viewing them on one of the slides in your project from inside the EXE. That way the video doesn't have to be packaged with the course in the EXE.
