Using Video in a Drop and Drag Interaction

Hi Folks,

Not sure if anyone has ever done this but Is it possible to use short video clips in a drop and drag interaction? If you have, does Captivate recognize them as objects? Are there any issue with scoring once hosted on an LMS?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

    Video cannot be used as drag sources, nor drop targets, sorry. Not all objects can be used for that purpose: interactive objects are not accepted neither.

    As Lilybiri states, it's not possible to do this with a normal Captivate drag and drop interaction slide.

    However, if you are only publishing for HTM/SWF output and not for HTML5, you CAN do this with the Infosemantics Drag and Drop widgets.  You can download a free trial widget from here if you want to try it out:
