Hi 

 

I'm trying (30 days trial period) Adobe Captivate Classic but I'm not able to get any of the animations (SWF) offered in gallery cause the dialog filters GIF extension files only.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

 

Thanks in advance for your prompt answers

    Web browsers haven't support SWF content for several years now.

     

    Captivate still has some of these SWF components buried in the gallery folders but you should basically just ignore them.  They are no longer of any use.  Adobe should have addressed this oversight years ago.  But their priorities are not with Captivate 2019 anymore.

     

    As you have found, only animated GIF files are able to be inserted nowadays.
