When you've created your project, you can export to the version of Flash and ActionScript you want to support. There are a couple of caveats to pay attention to: If you use any special coding, flash, video, or widgets with your authoring tool, you can introduce browser compatibility issues. The same goes for Captivate.

Both have a different focus (HTML vs. Flash; Word vs. PowerPoint). For this post I tool a look at the following products: SoftChalk Articulate Lectora Captivate My Findings. SoftChalk and Articulate are the easiest to use and are good for basic courses.

The problem I am facing now is how to communicate with the flash objects I use in Lectora. Specifically, I want to find the status and grade that the flash application has assigned to the learner. I am trying to use some flash I've created in Articulate Quizmaker and Captivate. I need some documentation on this.

Output to iOS and HTML5 will be a part of it, although some challenges remain to make it do everything Flash can do (that seemed to be common with all e-learning products I saw demoed). The product is also introducing variables which will make it more competitive with Lectora or Captivate.

The company has been transitioning some Flash projects to Adobe Capivate over the past few years and they brought me in as an expert on Adobe Captivate to help drive more use of that tool. For the most part, I''m working with the training of field technicians and support folks. I''ve been using Adobe Captivate for basic e-learning courses.

But once you start doing advanced techniques such as using flash to set Lectora variables, the preview will not work. So things like flash communication and use of the Lectora VAR() function will not work when run locally. Limitations on HTML preview. So the next step is to publish to HTML and preview it from the local machine.

For example, Flash based applications need to target customers that have a large learning audience to justify the expense. That's not to say that self-paced learning modules that use Flash are going to disappear. at a large corporation). Virtual classrooms are often a more cost efficient solution in many cases.

Call a Javascript flash API from Lectora to pull the values out of the flash object. In that post I identified three possible techniques for passing the score/results from Captivate back to Lectora for processing: Use the e-mail command in Captivate and overwrite the JavaScript function for sending the mail.

It seems that many of the newer eLearning tools are Flash based whereas Lectora is HTML/JavaScript based. I'm confident I can do just about any thing using Lectora but there is a bigger learning curve and projects may take longer than using a tool like Articulate. There are advantages and disadvantages to that.

My current plan is to use Captivate to create flash simulations that can be embedded in content created by Articulate or Lectora. I will be doing a lot of technology training courses so software simulations are very important. Captivate does a very good job of creating software simulations. Articulate and Lectora do not do simulations.
