I published a Captivate file with a right-click box interaction. It works when I publish the Captivate file. But when I upload the swf to Storyline (as a flash object), the right-click feature doesn't work. Everything else in the captivate sim works within Storyline - text entries, other click boxes, etc.
The Right-click functionality in Captivate is actually not built-into the .swf file itself, but requires the swf file to run inside the HTML page that is created during publish (among other bits, the HTML file contains a JavaScript that facilitates the right-click). So, inserting a Fals object will not work, you have to use a web object and link to the HTML container file that holds the captivate swf. See this quick test.
Thanks Michael! It's working now. Going forward, I'm going to try to start recording in Storyline for my sims. I assume there's a right click feature there too?

Yes, right-click is supported, as you can see in this quick example.

Hi Sarah and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Is this happening when you preview the project or have you actually tested published content?
