Does Prime support Flash?

[rich_adams]

Simple question that I haven't been able to find a straight answer on: Does Prime support courses published to Flash?

Similar question.  Does Prime support Captivate .swf files only published files to the LMS or only HTML5?  If so, what are the settings?

Thanks.

Captivate Prime supports both SWF and HTML 5 output of captivate. However we recommend to use the HTML 5 output, as the SWF output requires Flashplayer to play the content and FlashPlayer is near to its end of life.

To know more about Flash and its future, please see the below article.

Thanks for responding.  Is there any documentation supporting swf files as supported files for Prime?  I'm not finding it.  Also, when I've tried to upload .swf content (the majority of our eLearning content to be placed in prime is swf files and don't always translate well to HTML5), I get error messages for uploading or if it does upload it doesn't play in the fluidic player.  Do you know if any support documents or suggestions on how to handle this issue?  It looks like Prime doesn't take Storyline files.  Is that accurate?

Thanks.

Please refer to the below link for details of Captivate Prime System requirements

Can you please elaborate what you mean by "don't always translate well to HTML5" ?

If you want to convert a project to HTML5, you need to publish the project as HTML 5 from the authoring tool. Prime doesn't convert any SWF output to HTML5 .

Prime does support Articulate content if you have any issues with the Articulate content in Prime. Please write an email to Prime support (captivateprimesupport@adobe.com) with the project file and we shall be happy to assist you further.
