I have a swf file that has to be AS2 and go into Cap4 (client says we have to use CP4 and AS2) My file is set up so that the animation starts when the user clicks. Instead of having to click, the animation automatically plays – after inserted into captivate. Do you think this pre-loader will fix this issue?

thanks!!

[...] The past week I have been working on a new Widget for Adobe Captivate 5. The widget is a new Loader Widget for Adobe Captivate 5 similar to the Loader Widget I have for Adobe Captivate 4 AS2. [...]

@Andy,

Yes that is possible. Simply insert a new instance of the widget in your Captivate movie and that should be it.

Hi Michael

I have purchased this widget and am wondering if there is a way that it can be used more than once in a single captivate movie.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi. brilliant widget! saved me big time. only small issue… on some of the swf’s i did need to resize the widget, experimenting by changing the size then republishing and previewing until the size was correct (bit fiddly but cant complain).
Others did not need any resizing at all (just had to move widget to the top left corner 0,0)
thanks
Gav

@Pete,

Actually I don’t know. I’ll be happy to send you a copy of the widget so you can test it out if you want.

Michael,
Do you know if your loader widget addresses the issue importing multiple Raptivity swf’s into a Cp4 project?

I just spent wasted hours tyring to make this widget myself–after having this problem and working around it for a year!

Question: do I get the .fla file when I buy so I can see what I didn’t do right?

Thanks,
Eric

@ Marie,

I have been messing about with the Captivate publish to EXE and the loader widget. I have found no solution to this problem so unfortunately it seems like you will not be able to use the Loader Widget with Captivate projects published as EXE. I tried to publish a project from Flash to exe (Flash Projector file) and have that load an external swf. That worked just fine, so I think that the problem is to be found in the Captivate software itself.
