I've had to use Captivate5 and therefore put Web Objects in my course. When the Web Object is playing it covers up the dropdowns for the Exit button, Glossary and FAQ interactions etc. Is there a way around this so that the Web Object is not the dominant layer on screen. Send to back doesn't seem to work.
open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again."
I've tried downloading a fresh file several times - no help, I still can't extract anything. Click ok on the warning of course opens an empty archive. I've sent mail to builtbyburton, but no response yet. I know Articulate doesn't support, but by any chance do you know if the download is still a valid link or of somewhere else I can get it? Thanks.
Hi David... It's pretty stubborn. 'Double-click', 'open with' etc. Anything I try, I still get the same 'Cannot open file..." message. Is there any way you can send me the .swf file?...or post it somewhere I can access it?
Addendum... I just had a teammate - different pc, different IP, different city download the .zip and was unable to open it - same 'Cannot open file...' message, Also had the .zip downloaded by another person on a home pc - same result - can't open.
Any other suggestions?...or any different known fixes for the Web Object covering up the drop downs?
Update... switching browsers from IE to Firefox allowed me to download the same zip, but ths time I could extract the .swf and use it.... go figure. Thanks for everything.

Hi JB - I just tried the link and was able to extract the .swf file okay.
What happens if you double-click the zipped folder and open with Windows Explorer? Maybe an issue WinZip is preventing it from opening.
