ppt/articulate presenter>captivate5.5

[workbench]

Currently we are offering our users one articulate presenter file and one captivate file for each chapter of a course.

For example:

Chapter 1a PPT/Articulate

Chapter 1b Captivate simulation

Chapter 2a PPT/Articulate

Chapter 2b Captivate simulation

and so on.

I want to combine the a&b parts, 1a and 1b - combine the articulate and captivate. I don't want to insert a swf into articulate. My sync'd animations don't carry over from articulate to captivate, neither does the audio. Note the audio is coming from a 3rd party and imported.

I have tried a web object opening a new window.This crashes IE on Windows 7 with the course in the LMS.

I tried a hyperlink in PPT/articulate. This gives me an IE warning to allow blocked content, so I can't use this as a solution.

Any thoughts on how to consolidate the 2 file types?

Why try to combine two different tools? Articulate is still on AS2, that is the problem with inserting CP-SWF into Articulate. You could combine Adobe Presenter with Captivate much more easily, and Presenter is a plug in like Articulate, but more up to date. Be sure I do not work for Adobe....

Why combine 2 different tools? I was asked to reduce the number of links to launch each module of a course.

I was actually trying to go from ppt/articulate into captivate not the other way around. I have a work around but its not as efficient as I would like. The idea is to have one link that launches both the presentation then the sim.

Can a Presenter file be imported into Captivate?

If you are talking about Articulate, no, because of the incompatibility of the ActionScript versions. They never played well along, on purpose I suppose. Convert the PPT with Captivate itself, would be a lot easier.
