Default Re: Captivate in Articulate


Finally if you want your Captivate movie to play in Engage in Presenter, like in the example above, the easiest way to do this, is to make sure that your Captivate files are correctly placed in the engage_content folder of your Articulate Presenter PROJECT files. That way, when you publish your Articulate Presenter presentation, it will automatically pull in those Captivate files each and every time, so you don't have to keep doing that every time you publish Presenter.
  1. First prepare your Engage interaction and use the 'Add Media' function to reference the 'skin' swf of your Captivate movie.
  2. Publish to Presenter making sure, of course, that you have already prepared a Powerpoint presentation to host it.
  3. Now navigate to the PROJECT FOLDER of your Articulate presentation. This will be at the same level and folder as your Powerpoint file and will have the name of your Powerpoint file.
  4. Open the folder and you will see an engage folder with name like engage_257.

  5. Open that engage folder and you will see another folder called engage_content.

  6. Open that folder and you have reached the place where you need to drop your remaining Captivate files.

  7. Switch back to your original Captivate files and copy all the files except your skin swf which you have already referenced in Engage and then switch back to the engage_content folder and paste them there giving you something like this.

Now, everytime you publish Articulate Presenter, your Captivate and Engage files will be pulled in automatically into Presenter.
