Exporting standalone interactives

Report · Jan 30, 2017

I am using the latest version of Captivate 9.

I will be working on a wbt course that has a pre-built html/js shell. I will have to add a few interactives - click to reveal, interactive animations, etc. - to the course shell.

I could be programming the interactives from scratch with html/js but I am wondering if it's possible to export these interactives individually from Captivate as html/js components that I can then drop into the existing html/js shell. If that were possible, it would cut down significantly on dev time.

I have a few ideas about how to accomplish this that I will try but I wanted to also check here if anyone has done this successfully or would have any suggestions on how to go about it so that I can possibly learn from other's experience and mistakes.

There is no option in Captivate to export a given slide from a multi-slide project file as a standalone animatiom.

However, if the entire project CPTX is only ONE slide, you could publish to HTML5 and then incorporate that set of published files into your other project shell.

At the end of the day though, I think you will find this too much trouble because each separate animation/interaction you created with Captivate would need to have it's own set of files.
