Question

Will Captivate provide a non-SWF HTML publishing option in the future?

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I have not found an answer after several searches.

With Flash/SWF going away, has anyone seen anything from Adobe regarding publishing options after support for Flash is discontinued?

On a similar note, is there a list of features/functionality that are currently supported by Flash/SWF that don't have HTML5 equivalents?  Thanks!

    Xaptivate provides the possiblity to publish to HTML5 since version 8, which was many years ago.

    If developers contined to publish to SWF, that is not due to Captivate. Focus has been on HTML5 since several versions. THere are even features which are only possible on HTML5 output: VR, interactive video, responsive projects, SVG or bitmap images as buttons....

    I must be missing something - I have created a course with Captivate 2019 that uses several interactive buttons and in which SCORM 1.2 is enabled.  If I publish it to computer, the three options are SWF/HTML5, Video, or Executable.  When I select SWF/HTML5, no matter which combination of options I select,  one of the files that is generated is in .swf format and is required for the course to run within a browser window, hence my question as to how to build a course within Captive 2019 that is HTML5 only.

    Indeed, you didn't see the 'Output format'.
