Question

What product in CC can replace Flash for interactive SWF content in Captivate?

Long time user of Tech Comm Suite, Flash Pro, and now Creative Cloud.

I have created a UI and other elements using Flash that are embedded in Captivate.

Now we want to move the output to Responsive HTML5, but SWF is not supported.  Captivate can handle the output, but the Flash bits don't work.

Which product in CC can I use to rebuild these interactive elements?  Whatever it is has to be supported in HTML5, can be imported into Captivate, and can issue commands to Captivate (i.e. jump to slide X).

I would rather not spend too much time learning the wrong program.

Thanks.

(Edit - Alternately, is there a program in CC that can replace Captivate entirely for eLearning?)

    Certainly, keeping the Flash stuff and converting it would be faster than trying to learn a new program from scratch.  But Edge Animate is a good alternate.  Thanks.

    Also, if you already have animations built in Flash. In Flash CC 2015, you can go to Commands > Convert to Other Document Formats, and save as Canvas (you may need to edit the actions from Actionscript to javascript and change a few filters). If you now publish you Canvas file and zip up the output, the zip can then be placed into Captivate as a webobject.

      Try Edge Animate to create HTML animations. You can import an OAM file directly into a Captivate file. If you want to exchange data between the CP-file and the Animate animation, you have to use JS.

      I have moved this to the Adobe Captivate user forum so the experts there can assist you.

      You can see the desktop apps here: Desktop apps
