Referencing external files

Hi all,

I have a captivate project that I am uploading into Connect Pro - inside this course some of the swf files reference others that are not contained within the captivate project itself.  How can I upload these additional files to connect pro?  Is there a method to do this, so that that they can been seen inside connect pro?

Thanks so much,

Tristan

    not sure what version of Captivate you are using? if ver 4 or higher, you could use viewlets that allow to embed the swf.

    or the other option you would be to upload the swfs to connect pro content folder (shared folder or personal folder). if you upload into personal folder than you will need to set the permissions to public so that anyone can view.  once you have uploaded the swf and playback that content. you now of the full URL that you can reference back into your Captivate.  now once you re-publish the captivate to Connect it should play them correctly

    hope that helps.

    Hi and thank you,

    Yes, after I posted I trialed uploading the content to our own web server and referencing the files like that, which worked perfectly, although this is not ideal as we then have files scattered.  This sounds like a sensible solution to the problem as it keeps the content in one place.  Thank you.
