Is there a way to import text via JavaScript or some other method into Captivate from an external source file?

Question

I need to make small edits all the time and having a way to edit an external text file that is then "read" by Captivate using a JavaScript (or other method) to pull in the content and display it within the presentation would really help me streamline the constant updates. I'm trying to avoid the need to export and import XML files in the presentation with every edit that is required. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can read xml files that you would update and bring them into Captivate with JavaScript. You are limited to the size limit on variables though. If you had a lot of text you could concatenate variables.

Look at tis thread:
