I have a question. I am inserting a captivate simulation within articulate. Is it recommended to record voiceover for the simulation within articulate or in Captivate before inserting?

Thanks

Hi Maureen, Yes I am pretty sure all the Captivate functionality is kept. You don’t need to use the Captivate skin. There may be some quirks though so test of course. For example, you should avoid having a stop button at the end of the Captivate as it might cause problems with moving to the next slide. Regards

If when publishing your SWF file in Captivate 4 and choose not to use the captivate skin, will the functionality for on screen buttons work when you have created scenario branching in Captivate and you are now using the player controls in Articulate?

Thanks for posting these instructions. I ran into troubles because I was publishing my Captivate project at 800 x 600 instead of 720 X 540. Your tip on publishing as 720 X 540 saved the day.

Is there is way of getting an Articulate Engage swf file (with a sound component) generated using version 1.3, to sync correcty with Captivate 4. What I mean is that having developed a Captivate production, I would like to include an Articulate engage swf interaction at the end. The interactive swf file has an audio component. However when I publish the Captivate file, the audio of the Articulate Engage starts up simultaeously with the Captivate audio, not where it is suppose to begin at the appropriate slide further down the production. Has anyone encounted this problem. If so, how did you resolve it?

Many thanks.
