[mtricomi]

When I try to import Captivate files into RoboHelp it seems like the import was successful, but when I try to view it the screen is blank. I any new to working on Captivate as well, but I beleive everything is ok on that end.

Any ideas?

Have you added captivate file into baggage?

No. How would I go about doing that?

Right click on your Baggage Files folder and click on Add Baggage File. Navigate to the movie file and recompile. You don't say what version of RH you are using but look for the baggage files folder in the Project pod or tab.

Hey Colum,

Thanks for your help, but I still seem to be having difficulty.

I am using RoboHelp HTML 6 for my project.

Here is what I have done:
Created my Captivate file & saved it.
Imported the Captivate file in my Baggage Folder.

Problems are:
When I double click on the file in Baggage it opens up Captivate.
I then tried to import the same clip into a New Topic, but again all I get is a text box saying Flash Movie File. I compiling the porject, but when I try to click on the topic with the Captivate file, but the page freezes. When I mouse over the text box it says "Click to activate & use this control."

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi Mike

What file did you add to baggage? I ask because if Captivate is opening, it sounds like you added the .CP file and that would be a file you wouldn't want in baggage, because it's the source file for your Captivate project.
