New Captivate: Any way to automatically execute JavaScript?

I need to automatically call a JavaScript function when a Captivate course first loads. IIRC this was somewhat possible in Classic Captivate, but I haven’t been able to find a way to do it in New Captivate. I know I could manually edit a call into the generated HTML, but I’d prefer a solution that didn’t require manual intervention after every publish.

Thanks.

    Wouldn’t a  slide enter action work?

     

    also, check this YouTube 

    note: I did not watch it but it sounds as if it discusses your problem.

    That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

    Well… it was almost exactly what I was looking for. Turns out when the course is loaded on an LMS, it can resume at any page, skipping the initialization code in the first slide. Only fix I can think of is to attach the init code to EVERY slide. Ugh. Hopefully Adobe adds a way to attach external libraries to a project in a future release.
