Our relationship goes back a long way too as I can recall the days of using Captivate when it was owned by Macromedia. Articulate wasn’t the juggernaut that it is today, and aside from learning how to program Flash, Macromedia Captivate was your next best option. During those years there weren’t many other alternatives.

eHelp was acquired by Macromedia in 2003, and then in 2005, Adobe acquired Macromedia. One of the first versions of an authoring tool was known as RoboDemo, a product of eHelp that featured basic flash tools and video recording. Once complete, Adobe converted the authoring tool in what is known today as Adobe Captivate.

Adobe’s CS4 suite is the second major release since Adobe acquired Macromedia. The new Adobe CS4 suite has some new exciting and time-saving features in all its products. If you have been bugged by previous Flash versions not allowing you to publish for latest Flash Player there is some relief here.

Macromedia Captivate (later acquired by Adobe) was one of the first major players into the game. It was a very difficult process and only a few people possessed the skills to actually pull it off. These people could also charge quite a bit for this service, so not all was bad. Rapid elearning development software changed the game.

Also there are strong reasons for HTML 5 not being able to replace Flash as pointed out by a former Macromedia person Jeremy Allaire in this article. Check out this article by O’Reilly , to get an idea of the war for the web that’s on. For eLearning (& mobile learning) I think Flash will remain the obvious tool till for some time.

These organizations have been developing Flash content for education since Macromedia offered Flash 1.0 In 1996, Macromedia bought FutureSplash and renamed it Flash. During its heyday, Flash was the “be all and end all” for web interactivity and it was at this time that Adobe bought Macromedia.

Question: I've been using Macromedia RoboHelp HTML X5. I am considering upgrading to Adobe RoboHelp 9. Before I do so, do you know if RoboHelp 9 will open my project? I know that X5 is very old at this point but if RoboHelp 9 rejects my X5 project, I'm stuck using X5. Answer: Yes, your X5 project, while old, will upgrade.

A product called Macromedia Flash (being used with web sites) became a go to for course development. Macromedia Dreamweaver came out with templates. The idea of a rapid content authoring tool, whereas anyone could build a course quickly was appalling to everyone who built courses. I used DazzlerMax. Storyboards were common.
