Some captions and parts of images might have a dark background when published in CP5 with slide quality set as JPEG. This is because the mechanism to publish images has changed significantly from CP4 to CP5. Selecting ‘high’ for all slides results in a large SWF output file. Under the hood.

For SWF output you had the choice: it was possible to change the default setting which was to have a movie playing automatically after loading. Mostly I duplicate a slide from the project to create such a poster image, Duplicate because it may need some editing, especially if you also want to have a better looking Play arrow.

As I built the slides, I wrote the slide number by each node of the flowchart for future reference. To produce the slides and SWF, I used Keynote 08 ( not Keynote 09! ). Keynote is a slide editor for the Mac. There are no variables involved. Please share your tips in the comments.

The logos are on multiple master slides and are png files. Can we change the TOC/Project info after the module is published? They don’t have Captivate and don’t want us to replace images and republish multiple modules every time they want to resell the courses. We are using CP 2019 and the course is not responsive.

One exception: embedded buttons on Quiz/Score slides cannot be shape buttons, so I use transparent buttons for those. The SVG, activated as button, has all the features of shape buttons: can be used on master slides, can be timed for the rest of the project (not in Fluid Boxes), can be added to quiz and score slides as extra button.
