Question

Robohelp 10 won't show Captivate Demo SWF in ePub

I have created a Captivate Demo SWF and generated both SWF and HTML5 outputs.

In Robohelp 10, I inserted the SWF file and it shows and runs correctly when I preview it in Robohelp. The page only has a title and the SWF. However, when I publish an ePub, only the text shows when I use ADE to view the file- the SWF does not appear.

I don't know where to begin looking to troubleshoot.

Check the standard, but I believe ePUB doesn't support video. You may want to create multiscreen HTML5 for a mobile device - see the MS HTML5 forum for help with that.

Hi,

ePub 3 does support video and HTML5. Video in ePub depends on the viewer you use. If I remember correct, Adobe Digital Editions correctly shows SWF, but for other video formats (mp4 etc.) you need iBooks from Apple.

It has been quite some time since I played with video in ePub, so my memory may be off. I'll dig into this, but it may be a some time.

Greet,

Willam
