Our finance team created a software simulation of one of the new systems using Captivate 9. Is there any way I can take that and put it into a Storyline 360 module I am building for the rest of the training?
I would have access to the source files and the Captive 9 app as well.
You could try publishing the Captivate content and then link to it in a Storyline web object. I'm not certain, but I think Captivate 9 already offered the option to publish to video. In that case, you could import the published vid intoStoryline.
I see if that can be done. I'm thinking I may try the web object first because besides them wanting to "Show" the system, they also want users to "Try" it too.
Hi there, hoping I can tag onto this thread. I have another department that is creating interactive Adobe captivate videos (4 of them). They want me to put them in the Storyline 360 e-learning.
Right now they were just going to put them on our WIKI and I would just link to the page and the user will have to come back to the e-learning after.
Is there a way to publish the captivate file (I don't use captivate), that I can tell the other department that would allow me to put it directly on my slide, I know captivate uses flash which is going away, so I assume they can publish to HTML5. If I put it right in the slide if possible, will it still be interactive for the user?
In the end I know it may still not work. Sometimes I have tried adding a web object to link to something and I assume it is our tiny LMS that doesn't allow it to work. Often get a message "refused"...
Oh and I forget do Web Objects count towards size in storyline? Our LMS allows very little so if it does that option may not work anyway.
I have been speaking to the person who maintains this server ...they said the error is the iframe trying to connect to a source not from the same origin. But I have done this before using survey monkey links and it wouldn't be the same origin.
I attached what she sent me, any thought if a way around this? I really wanted to put the link on the slide not have to link out to it...
It looks like the server doesn't allow this content to be displayed in an iframe. It you set the Storyline webobject to display in a new browser window is works. If would ask the person who maintains this server, if the permissions can be changed, or if they can provide the published Captivate content, so that it can be included with the Storyline content.
Hi Micheal, so yes you are right they just emailed me and said some defame needs to change from same origin to none but she says it is a security risk... she also sent me this information but it doesn’t mean much to me except that even if I change it it may not work in modern browsers...
ALLOW-FROM uri This is an obsolete directive that no longer works in modern browsers. Don't use it. In supporting legacy browsers, a page can be displayed in a frame only on the specified origin uri. Note that in the legacy Firefox implementation this still suffered from the same problem as SAMEORIGIN did — it doesn't check the frame ancestors to see if they are in the same origin. The Content-Security-Policy HTTP header has a frame-ancestors directive which you can use instead.
So, it should be really set to none but that is a security risk

so I sense she may not do it. If the captivate content is interactive and not too big can I put it directly in a slide instead of linking out. I sense I may have to give up amd just link to it
My web server person asked if there was an option to take the contetn and put it on articulate.com and play it from there...but I don't think we have that access as subscribers...
I just like the look in the slide so much better, but sense I am not gonna get lucky
Can you just save the Captivate project to a local folder and then insert that as a local web object in Storyline? If you do that then it will run from the same server as the Storyline course.
I can ask the Captivate person if I can grab a copy of her project...Could you explain the steps if I get a copy of her captivate file, then do I publish it locally, and then graba particular file? Not sure which file I get to use to insert as a web object....getting closer...learning alot...
I'm not familiar with the format that Captivate publishes to, but I'm guessing the html5 version would publish to a folder similar to the way Storyline does. If so, you just need to make sure the main file in that folder is called index.html (it may already be called that in a Capitvate publish) and then insert that folder as the web object. Any sub-folders will automatically be included.
If you can get a hold of the published Captivate content, you can simply link your Storyline webobject to the index.htm file of that 'local' content (rather than linking it to some URL). Here is a quick example with some random Captivate content running inside Storyline: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl74_SL360/CP/V1/story.html

Hi Michael,
How did you go with this?
I am in a similar position however moving from Captivate and into Storyline.
We have a few simulations I would like to transfer into Storyline but don;t have the faintest about how to do it!
HI Bab,
Import the captivate file by using the web object.

You can try publishing the Captivate content as HTML5, and then link it to a Storyline webobject.
Hi there, so I had them publish to HTML 5 and then gave me a link:
https://moodlemedia.camhx.ca/imgeducation/AddMedtoQueue/index.html - I went into storyline and did Insert Web Object and pasted this link in. But if you go to my review file you will see it says "refuses to connect"...

Awesome, thanks!! And I love that episode by the way lol!
Will try this...thanks
With survey monkey it was so easy LOL! It just worked...
Publish the Captivate simulation in HTML5 format
Click Web Object in Storyline
In the popup window, select the folder (unzipped) path where your captivate files are present
Publish the Storyline file (You cannot preview a web object)
(See the screenshot attached for reference)
