Exporting from Adobe Captivate to Flash

From within Adobe Captivate, you can select either the Export the project to Flash 8 option or 
the Export the project to Flash MX 2004 option to export an Adobe Captivate project into Flash 
8 or Flash MX 2004 for additional enhancement, scripting, or integration into a larger project. 
There are separate procedures for the different Flash versions. The process of exporting a project 
from Adobe Captivate 2 to Flash 8 or Flash MX 2004 includes the tasks of exporting the project 
from Adobe Captivate 2, opening Flash 8 or Flash MX 2004, and importing the Adobe Captivate 
project into Flash 8 or Flash MX 2004.

Note: You must save your Adobe Captivate project before exporting. (The easiest method is to click 
Save in the toolbar.)
