Question

How do I preview a simulation with scrolling in a responsive project?

As I understand it, responsive projects in Captivate only support HTML5 video formats. Captivate 8 records a simulation as a SWF (not HTML5 compatible). Is it possible to convert the SWF to a format that is both Captivate and HTML5 compatible?

Darin, you can capture a software simulation in a responsive project, and it will publish as HTML5. Maybe the FMR-slides could cause problems.

Publish to Video is publishing to mp4, but of course you'll lose all interactivity. Same if you create a video demo instead of a classic software simulation. Do you need a demo or an interactive simulation?

I was hoping to use an interactive simulation. So you are saying the scrolling that is missing while I preview the responsive project will reappear in the published version?

I have used a pseudo scroll method where I take stills of multiple points in the scroll path. I have also used the cpvc slide. In both cases, unfortunately, it takes more time and effort. Perhaps I should put in a request to Adobe to make videos on a responsive project automatically save to an HTML5 friendly format.


Yes, please do log a feature request. There should be at least a warning that FMR-slides will not display in a responsive project

Have you tried publishing your project to Video output then inserting the resulting video file in another project?

Are you talking about creating a video demo of the scrolling and then placing it into a project? It would appear to me the problem is everything else in my simulation records fine. As such, I would have to replicate the portions of the simulation that included the scrolling. It sounds like a lot more work.
