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