I was curious what the option would do, so I enabled it and published a SWF. If you record a lesson at 800x600, and the learner's display is large, the 800x600 will float horizontally in the browser window. I was concerned that the quality of the SWF would suffer if I made my browser window too big (I have a pretty large display).

Fortunately, adding interactivity to a lesson does not negatively impact the size of the published SWF. Rather, imported assets such as audio, video and images are the main culprits behind SWF bloat.

The common way to publish a completed Captivate eLearning video is as a SWF (small web file). When the publish process is complete, you will end up with three files: an HTML file (which is what your learner will need to open the lesson in a web browser), a JavaScript file (called standard.js) and the SWF containing your lesson.
