HTML (.oam file) video doesn't work on mobile devices when published from Captivate 9 Project

Hello,

I'm creating a Captivate 9 project and publishing to HTML5 so that it will work on mobile devices. I'd like to include a short video on one of my slides, so I imported a .oam file (that I exported from Animate CC) into my Captivate Project. I thought that since the video was an HTML animation it would run fine on mobile devices, however when I run the project on an iPad a box saying I need flash player pops up where the video should play. I thought the whole idea of HTML was that it could run without flash player, hence run on mobile devices? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

I think I know why this process wasn't working for me. Although the file was published as an .oam file and built in Animate CC the file type that I was exporting from was a .swf file and not a HTML canvas file. I've since built animations in Animate CC as HTML canvas files and they work fine in Captivate 9.

Why don't you just import the video directly into Captivate. Why use Animate CC?

Is it a HTML animation or a video? An OAM normally is an animation.

It is an animation that I created in Animate CC, which is why I exported it from Animate.
