Conversion of Captivate projects
When you export a Captivate movie into Flash, the movie is imported directly to the Stage or into
the Library as a movie clip. The imported movie contains layers for each type of object and
appropriate Flash methods are used to enable any Captivate special effects (for example, tweens to
move the mouse pointer). The Flash Library panel shows all objects created for the Captivate
project, organized logically into folders.
Most elements in your projects are converted so they look and operate the same in Flash as in
Captivate, but here are a few exceptions:
•
Loading screen
•
Password protection
•
Movie expiration
•
Advanced compression
•
508 compliance
•
Slide transitions (fade between slides)
•
Question slides
•
Learning management system (LMS) integration
•
Real-time synchronization
Modifying Captivate movies in Flash
After importing or exporting your Captivate movie into Flash, the movie opens and can be
edited. The powerful Flash Library and movie clip objects functionality creates reusable elements
from the original movie.
Once you become familiar with the structure of the movie in Flash, you can easily change your
entire project or take Captivate elements and place them in an existing Flash project. All of the
Captivate movie elements are stored in the Flash Library, organized into folders, so navigating
through the elements and selecting them for editing is easy.
