Question

How do I generate an html5 project that contains external cptx simulations?

Hello,

I have created a main cptx project that contains several demos and interactive simulations that are imported as .swf files.

When the main project is generated as an html5 output the demos and simulations do not show up - the page is blank.

I've tried adding the external projects to the Callees folder in the .zip as outlined in the Adobe help page: Publish projects as HTML5 files with Adobe Captivate

1. The resulting zip is ginormous

2. The demos/simulations still don't work within the main html5.

I cannot add the demos as part of the main project as we need to have the individual playbar for each demo but not for the main cptx.

Has anyone ever encountered a similar situation?

Thanks,

Liz

    Are the demo files interactive (Training or Assessment simulation)? If not, easiest way is to publish to MP4 and insert the video. If they are interactive, upload them separately to a webserver and use 'Open URL' to open them in the main file. If you use a LMS it should be possible to link to them as well.

    I didn't tell to copy/paste into the main project because you told that you didn't want that.

    Hello,

    Yes, they are interactive. I will try what you suggested.

    Many thanks again for your help!

    Is there any possibility that somewhere down the track you are likely to be delivering this content from an LMS and will want these interactive simulations to be scored and report to a quiz?

    Your imported demo / simulation SWFs are not compatible with HTML5. 

    You will either have to publish those demo / simulation projects to video and lose the interactivity, or else copy those interactive simulation slides from the other project into your main project and then you will be about to publish the whole thing out as HTML5

    You cannot use SWF (Flash-based) in a HTML5 output, that is contradictory.

    You will have to publish the demo-cptx files also to HTML5 and link to them.

    Hi Lilybiri,

    Thanks for your reply. I did try to generate the demo as an html5 zip file.

    I tried to import this in the main project on a slide as an animation html but it also did not work.

    Have you succeeded before? What steps did you follow?

    Best,

    Liz
