My client uses Presenter, but the module I'm working on will contain 6 to 8 QTMovies converted to.wmvs converted to .flv. I much prefer the Captivate skins for playback (with separate playback bars and pauses buttons, etc. As a test, I inserted a published CP file (4.0, AS2) into a Presenter project, but I can only insert one file-either the final .swf but not the playback skin .swf. Does anyone know how to get a CP .swf file of a movie to playback in Presenter?
I want to use CP because I want two movies side-by-side that the user can select.and play and rewind.
Dave Mozealous did a tutorial on his website to add a player to an flv in articulate, you could repurpose a open source player, you could then choose which skin you need without having to use captivate

Hi JT,
You'll probably want to import the Captivate file as a web object to accomplish this. For more information, see the links below:

Thanks guys! I'll see if I can locate that tutorial.
Hello everyone,
I have a similar need: to embed a Captivate demo into Presenter.
What I have done is:
- In Presenter I inserted a flash movie (selecting the skin file from the Captivate folder)
- I published the presentation
- I copied all the other Captivate files (except the skin file) in the player--> swf folder
But when I run the presenter player the result looks like:
IS there somebody who can help me with this?
Thank you very much,
Rodica
