How to combine my pieces into one training video

I've built my videos and edited tem.  Now what I'd like to do is combine them into one working video training.  What I've seen is a table of contents that stays to one side as the videos are played.  they go from one video to the next, but gives the viewer the chance to click on one of the trainings if they do not want to watch the series.  I've seen it done many times so I am assuming I just don't know how to do it.  I would love some help as I do not know how to get started with it.  There must be some instructions out there so if you can point me in the right direction, I would be ever so grateful.

    My intent is to publish this on our Intranet site.  I want to stay open to suggestions.  If there is a better way, let me know


    If not using an LMS, then I suggest you look up the HELP files for info about how to bundle a number of SWFs published from Captivate using the Aggregator tool that you can access via File > New Project > Aggregator.  The TOCs from each SWF build into a combined TOC for all of them.  The Aggregator publishes the necessary HTM and JS files to launch the SWFs.  So you just need to upload the entire bundle to your website and link to the HTM.

    I have often issues with terminology: what do you mean by 'video'? Is it a real video that you want to insert on a Captivate slide? Are those mp4's created with cpvc-projects? Or are you talking about a published cptx-project? In the last case: to which format did you publish? The Aggregator allows to combine different SWF's created from Captivate (cptx) projects into one file, and it has a basic Table of Contents.

    I wish I knew the correct vocabulary.  But this is what I have, I did several software simulations, each one being a section of the software I am training.  They are Captivate files with nothing from the outside, only Captivate.  What I'd like to do is make them one training, executable Captivate file.  As I explained, I would like them to have a table of contents that allows a user to pick the portion of the training they need, or, simply start the Captivate and have it go thru all of them.  I hope that makes more sense than my last post.
