Navigating through projects in Flash
When the Adobe Captivate project opens in Flash, you can navigate through the project in several
ways:
ways:
•
In the Library panel, a folder named Adobe Captivate Objects contains all slides and objects in
the project. (You can ignore the objects listed with the prefix “xrd”; these objects are images
and sounds that are used in other objects.) Edit your project by double-clicking a library item
and making a change to the item. The “xrd” files are shown in a folder in the library.

Another way to navigate is to double-click elements on the Stage (in Flash). For example, to
edit the movie, double-click the movie itself on the Stage. To navigate to an element on a slide,
click on the Timeline and position the playhead to show an object on the slide (such as a
caption or highlight box), and then double-click the object to edit the object. This method has
the advantage of showing each element and object in the context in which it is used.

Additional navigation tips
•
Unlike Adobe Captivate, Flash does not show all objects at one time; Flash uses the Timeline
to represent when different objects are shown. Clicking on the Timeline or dragging the
playhead lets you see how the project will look when it is played.
