Using the Captivate Knowledge Object in Authorware

While Authorware can always import Flash SWF files, which Captivate can export, by using the Captivate Knowledge Object (KO) in Authorware, you can also take advantage of Captivate’s built-in e-learning abilities.

From Demonstration to Simulation in Captivate

In this tutorial I show you how to construct a simple learning application that gives you an opportunity to explore several new features of Captivate. You construct a demonstration I recently completed for use by my students. In the demonstration, I showed my students how to complete the server information page in the Dreamweaver Site Definition Wizard. After the students watch the demonstration, my entire demonstration moves in a different direction, telling the students, "Now you try it." Suddenly a demonstration becomes a simulation—and the learning experience becomes even more valuable to the student.

Using the New Timeline in Captivate

The new version of Macromedia RoboDemo, called Macromedia Captivate, includes for the first time a Timeline to help you precisely synchronize actions that occur in your finished demos and simulations. This greatly simplifies the previous approach used in RoboDemo, which, although useful, did not give you the functionality that the Timeline now lends you.
