How do you insert a tumult hype animation into Captivate 9?

Has anyone tried to insert Tumult Hype animations into Captivate 9? or earlier?

If you end up with a HTML animation, use the button Media, HTML5 animation. I have no experience, using Animate CC or Edge Animate myself. I have no idea it if supports JS which would allow to communicate with Captivate.

I think the most effective way to use Tumult Hype animations with Captivate is to insert them using the Captivate Web Object interaction.

I am going to simplify both the Hype animation and Captivate 9 file and try again - i.e. one simple animation in the file and one slide in Cap.  then try again and post lots of screen shots.

I'm puzzled as this should work so easily, yet doesn't. (Here's hoping it's not me missing something super obvious.)  Stay tuned

Well it now works, seems clearing cache and going back to a basic build worked...

If you insert it as a web interaction, there is never a way to interact between the animation and Captivate, which is possible using JS and inserting it as a HTML animation. In that case it will be embedded in the CP-file, no need to deploy it separately.

Just a sooper late FYI (though you likely know this already - but just in case). The latest version of HYPE Pro now exports OAM files. So, you can just use Captivate 9's (or 2017)'s import HTML5 feature - just like we all did with Edge Animate (before adobe sacked it). No help to we PC users though - but maybe down the line (fingeez crossed they'll make a Windows port). Hype is now far beyond Edge Animate from the looks of it.

Hope this is helpful news to someone!
