Hello All,

I'm new to the community but appreciate a forum in which to pose this question: I work for a large organization that is using Captivate to generate learning content. We have an MOSS (SharePoint) Intranet and some 'spare' servers attached to this but no LMS. There are file size restrictions (<=20 MB) to posting on our MOSS site We are puzzling about how to deliver published Captivate content. We want to install Flash Server on one of our Intranet servers but do we need to have an LMS or Adobe Connect to get the Captivate output to run on our Intranet? Will the Flash Server handle the .htm files generated as part of the Captivate output or do we need any other software to handle the HTML 'shell' and execute the Flash files? All advice gratefully received - thanks!

    There is no need to install a Flash server for Captivate content. Sharepoint
    will handle the Captivate (flash) files happily. You only need one of the
    dedicated Flash server if you are dealing with advanced video servers or
    other more complex, high-volume Flash stuff.

    To track progress with your Captivate content, you'd need to look at the
    conversations here about tracking to a database instead of LMS. There are
    ways to customise the JavaScript files provided with captivate so that they
    can write to database instead of LMS.

    Hello,

    I'm not sure if this answers your question...

    We use Microsoft SharePoint as an intranet. Just to see if it worked I published a Captivate project to my computer (selecting Export HTML, I did not select Zip Files). When finished I uploaded the HTML file to a document library on SharePoint. If I click on the file it opens and plays the content. If I create a link to the HTML file elsewhere it also plays. Without an LMS or Connect server (as far as I know) there will be no ability to track results though.

    Hope this helps!
