publishing as html5

Report · Dec 18, 2017

I am trying to view my recent Module using Adobe Captivate 2017. I saved it as an zip file HTML5 only project and when I try to view the new zipped file in my local drive I get the loading (spinning) picture in the center of my screen and it does not load. It does this for both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. My other projects pull up fine that I created as an zip file HTML5.

Did something change within Adobe Captivate 2017 recently or is there something in my preferences/settings that I have clicked on or off that would cause this to not pull up?

Help!! : )

Thanks,

Dan Kramer

You publish to a .zip file...

Then how are you opening the main HTML file on your desktop?

Are you just double-clicking the .zip file, then double-clicking the HTML file within it?

If so, that's the problem. You have to UNzip the zip file to a folder first (or just don't publish to .zip).

If you are trying to open the HTML file from a *folder* (not a zip file) and it's not working, that's the risk of trying to test locally.

Captivate content is pretty much intended for web delivery, so if you want to properly test, you really need to upload the piece to a web server or LMS and test from there.

If your output is a SCORM .zip file, setup a free account on the SCORM Cloud site and test there.

I'm unzipping the file to a folder first by extracting all like I've

done on 4 other projects without an issue and now ran into this bump.

I publish to my computer first as an HTML5 folder. I then create a new

folder for example titled "Introduction to UltiPr Webclock EXTRACTED

12182017. I then go to the original folder and right click select

Extract All. Select Browse. Select the drive and folder to place the

extracted file into.

I have 6 steps listed from a different project that I created. Someone

from Adobe called me a couple weeks ago and gave me these instructions

so that the file would work.

1. Create a new folder where you would like to place the

extracted

file.

2. Right click on the folder you wish to view

3. Select Extract All

4.

Select Browse

5.

Select the drive and

folder to place the extracted file into.

6.

Select Extract

An HTML5 project needs to be run from within a web server environment in order to function correctly. When you are just trying to run it from a local hard drive or network drive folder you can run into problems with browser security blocking the content from working.

If you do NOT have a localhost web browser set up on your computer to use for testing HTML5, then you will need to upload the published output to a webserver somewhere and then test it from there.

Alternatively, if the content is SCORM (and that's why you were zipping it) then upload the SCORM zip to SCORM Cloud online LMS and test it from there.

Ok. That makes sense, however how do I export the module to word or

powerpoint for my local Operations, compliance and quality assurance to

review for approval since they do not have access to captivate?

Do I have to publish every project that I create in our local LMS where

it's open and available for all employees to "find" without the

necessary approval? This concerns me..

If all you need your management to do is review the voiceover script, look and feel, or content of the module, then you can use the File > Print < Handout option to produce a Word document that shows a screenshot of the slide with the voiceover script in Slide Notes underneath. That's what I commonly do until the module is finished enough to show them in an actual working format.

If you DO feel ready to publish to the LMS, all LMS administrators that I have worked with have a TEST instance of the LMS that they use as a proving ground for modules that need to be reviewed before going live on the main LMS. Talk to your LMS Admin about this.
