Hello.  When you publish your Captivate project, you will get at least three files.  The file with the .htm extension is the web page to which you must link to in your browser.  That web page will then play the file with the .swf extension.  The .swf file is the main movie for your Captivate project.  Your project evidently contains links to three Flash video files, the files with the .flv extension.  Since Captivate does not embed these .flv files, they are just linked to your project.  The file with the .js extension is a javascript file that enables your project to be launched when the user clicks the hyperlink to your .htm file.  The bottom line of all this is that all the files must be copied to your web server and must reside in the same folder.  The web page on your web server should link to the .htm file, which will open with the help of the .js file and play your main project menu in the .swf file, which calls in the .flv files when you get to the slide that contains the links to them.

I hope all that makes sense.

Hi Pedro

Were you able to upload the files?

There are essentially two approaches to the web server.

1. You have a guy (I'll call him Mike) that you make your files available to. Mike is your web server guy. So you hand your files to Mike and Mike puts them on the web server. You will need to tell Mike that you want the Captivate HTML page linked from a specific page on the server. Mike will then give you back the URL to your Captivate or you will just see it appear on the page you wanted it linked from.

2. You have direct access to the server and you upload things yourself. In this case you would amend whatever page you want to present the Captivate movie.

My guess is that option 1 is what you have. Otherwise you would already know how to deal with the server and linking.

Cheers... Rick
