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).

In an ideal world, your Captivate projects would be kept to a respectable number of slides (fewer than approximately 100). I suggest creating lessons that a learner can finish within five minutes, which typically translates to around 80-100 interactive slides. Save and Publish the source and target cptx files as SWFs.

In legacy versions of Captivate, it could easily take 3-5 minutes to publish a moderately-sized project as a SWF. Make a change to project (even a minor typo fix on a single slide) and you will need to once again wait the entire 3-5 minutes for the publish process to complete.

If the HTML5 Tracker displays any Unsupported objects, consider visiting the affected slides and removing those objects. If the learner is going to use a standard Windows PC or Macintosh computer, SWF output is fine. When you generate WebHelp or HTML Help, RoboHelp will automatically use the SWF within the generated Help System.

So instead of using Flash to build a SWF, you’re using PowerPoint to build a SWF. People are always asking me about how many slides a course should have. Don’t think slides. Think of slides as layers of information that you bring to the screen. The learner doesn’t care about slide count.
