Video not playing once published

Hi all,

I have an event video on a slide in my project that will not play once published to swf. The rest of the project works fine, but the slide with the video just displays a blank slide. I've tried both mp4 and flv files for the video.

I'm using Captivate 9 and a Mac.

    I'm experiencing a very similar problem, but with YouTube interactions. When previewing as SWF, the video will not play. But previewing as HTML5, the video plays perfectly.

    Understanding Cap will not be supporting Flash forever, is it best to transition to HTML5 exports exclusively?

    How do you test? Are you launching the SWF from the companion HTM file?

    It works fine in preview. Yes, what I've been doing is uploading the swf file onto a wiki (Confluence). I've done this with another project before and it worked perfectly fine (that one didn't have a video though).

    Indeed, sometimes the SWF will work, but in most cases you need the added functionality from the CSS and the JS which are only called when you launch the HTM file


    So I  would upload all of the files to the page?
