Adding animation slides

If you have a SWF, AVI, FLA, or animated GIF file, you can add the file to your Adobe Captivate 
project as a new slide. This is a fast and easy way to make your project more informative using 
content you have already created. 

Note: Adding animation as a slide is most appropriate with larger animation files.

Note: If you want to add a Flash animation file (FLA), you must first converted it to a SWF file. To do 
this conversion you must have Flash MX 2004 or later installed on your computer.

To add an animation slide:

1.

Open an Adobe Captivate project.

2.

From the Insert menu, select Animation Slide. 

The Open dialog box appears.

3.

Navigate to the animation file you want to insert (SWF, AVI, FLA, or animated GIF) and click 
Open. The animation slide is generated is added to the project.
