Hello,

I am new to Captivate 5, my scenario is - I want to publish videos (swf) files on our help desk. Previously all such files were part of HTML pages which require registration.Importantly I got all those flash files by getting the path of the file from HTML pages (eg. I opened the source of HTML page and navigated to where the swf file is mentioned and cut paste it)

- Can I open existing swf files into Captivate 5

Regards

Syed

Welcome to our community

Are you asking if Captivate will allow you to click File > Open and open one of these files and allow you to make edits to it?

If so, the answer is no, it will not allow that. You should be able to insert one of these files as an animation on a slide, but how well that may or may not work will depend on a number of factors.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks, I get an error when i insert that as a slide. We are in a process to publish all our existng videos on our support portal.Which were previously within HTML and required registration, and I am also not sure which version they are, so can you guide me in getting info on how this can be accomplished.

I opened a blank project and inserted that swf file through Insert->Animation Slide, and I get the following error

"Could not load the animation file. The file is either damaged or is not available at specified location"

Like I said, I got the file names from the HTML source page

Hello,

Do not use Animation slide, but Insert Animation please. One possibility is that this was a SWF in Actionscript 2 version, whereas CP5 only supports AS3.
