by Kevin Siegel    I received an email from a Captivate developer asking if it was possible to remove the white space that appears between the browser toolbars and SWF when a lesson is opened within a browser. In the image below, notice that there is white space above the SWF (just below the browser's menu bar).

Arguably, the most common way to publish a Camtasia project is as a Flash SWF. This is an excellent solution because SWF files can be used by the vast majority of the world's personal computers, browsers and operating systems. When you produce a SWF in Camtasia, the output includes a  Smart Player.

I suggest creating lessons that a learner can finish within five minutes, which typically translates to around 80-100 interactive slides. If you publish your Captivate projects as SWFs, you can combine multiple SWF files into one lesson using the Aggregator. The SWFs will appear in the Module Title area of the Aggregator.

I pointed out that HTML5 is an alternative publishing format to a SWF. Unlike SWFs, projects published as HTML5 will not only play on the Apple  iPad, iPhone and the iPod, but the lessons will retain any interactivity that you added to the slides (such as click boxes and buttons).

Learners attempting to open a SWF published to a more recent version of the Player than what is installed on their computer will be unable to view the lesson. In my experience, many companies and government agencies are still using Flash Player version 9 (with no plans to upgrade anytime soon).

by Kevin Siegel        I received an email last week from a Captivate developer who was concerned with how long it was taking for a published lesson to begin playing for his learners. In fact, lessons created by other Captivate developers in his company downloaded faster than his.   What's a Preloader?

We generally design our SCOs (which we also refer to as lessons) to be able to be completed by a learner in less than 15 minutes. In reality, it is simply a single compressed file containing all the files (html, images, flash swf, etc) necessary for the SCO to function. The Resource Node. Conformance Requirements (CR).

It has long been known that we can add Flash video and interactive swf content into Captivate, but doing so is not as simple as we would like, and there is no easy way to communicate data between the imported content and the host Captivate movie. Or do you often have a suite of, say, 5 or 10 lessons that have a largely similar format?
