For instance, I use Adobe Captivate to create most of my eLearning content, and Adobe RoboHelp to create my Help Systems. When creating content within Adobe Captivate, avoid using Captivate features that are not supported by mobile devices (such as Flash animations or rollovers). by Kevin Siegel.

I am attempting to embed short (10 sec) video files to a captivate 2019 project and publish it as an swf file. When viewing the swf file, the videos appear to be attempting to load (i get loader icon indications) but the video never loads. I need this video saved into the swf file, if at all possible.

Sometimes we need to embed the published Adobe Captivate SWF in an HTML page which has the branded template of our organization. If we have the luxury of changing the default HTML template for Adobe Captivate, there is nothing like it! This template can be a company website, home-grown LMS, or a portal.

Autoadvance Lectora when the Learner finishes a Captivate Simulation. Frequently, we embed Adobe Captivate simulations within a Lectora eLearning course. Once you start using Captivate to set JavaScript, there are quite a few possibilities. By Jay Lambert. The two authoring tools actually work together really well.

I thought perhaps I could convert the videos to.wmv and re-embed them and see if that would work… nope. It looks like I can’t embed a.wmv file. I tried publishing as HTML5 only and also as a HTML5/SWF hybrid… nope.

I have tricked every “trick” or workaround that I have come across, but when I try to use Web Object to embed a YouTube video, I keep receiving the message (when I preview) “Swf compilation failed. Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.”

One of my most visited blog posts published 7 years ago (Captivate 5, 5.5) is Where is Null? Beware: the embedded movie is a SWF, you need a browser with enabled Flash Player to watch that movie. Everything worked fine for SWF output also in later versions. However it is now partially broken for HTML output in CP9 and CP2017.
