(Optional) If you want to publish the Adobe Captivate project file (CP file) to Connect
Enterprise along with the project SWF file, select Publish project files. This can be helpful if
you want to make the CP file, not just the SWF file, available to others. Choose one or both of
the following options:
Zip project files Select this option to zip the Adobe Captivate project file (.CP) before
uploading to Connect Enterprise.
Publish video file Select this option if you project contains any progressive FLV files to
upload the FLV files to Connect Enterprise.

Click Publish Now or Finish.

When your project has successfully uploaded to the server, you see a dialog box confirming the
upload.
Acrobat Connect Professional provides a URL where you can access your project online.
Publishing projects as Flash files
You can publish Adobe Captivate projects as SWF files in Flash 6, 7, or 8. After publishing your
project as a SWF file, you can use these SWF files independently or include them in web pages.
Note: To run projects that you have published using Flash, you must have the same version of Flash
Player. For example, if you publish using Flash 8, you must have Flash Player 8.
To publish a project as a Flash file (SWF):
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the File menu, select Publish.
3.
In the Publish dialog box, select Flash (SWF).
4.
In Project Title, enter the desired name without the file extension (SWF).
5.
In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the
folder.
6.
Select from the following Output Options:
Zip files
This option creates a ZIP file containing the Flash (SWF) file. (A program like
WinZip can be used to open the files.)
Full screen
This option opens the Flash file in full screen mode.
Note: If you select AICC or SCORM options for the project, the full screen publishing option
cannot be applied.
Note: If you select the full screen option, Adobe Captivate generates two HTML files to
accommodate the Windows XP Service Pack 2 release. Use both HTML files with the SWF so
that when you publish your project users won’t receive an SP2 warning message. You should link
to the HTML file with “fs” added, for example, “myproject_fs.htm.” The HTML file with “fs”
automatically links to the second HTML file, which, in turn, plays your project.
Generate autorun for CD
This option ensures that the output file runs automatically when
the EXE file is placed on a CD.
Export HTML This option exports the HTML code necessary to add the Flash file to a
web page.
