Hi,

I'm currently developing content for a flash e-learning environment that
requires .flv extension. I'm using Captivate 3 for the task of creating the
content, but have not found a way to export or convert the .swf output of
Captivate to make it .flv

I'm totally at a loss - can anyone help?

In the languages subfolder of the flash folder, there is another subfolder
called "video encoder".
You're looking for something called "Flash 8 video encoder.exe" (I only have
Flash 8 - could be slightly different in more recent versions.

I'm not sure this will help, but what I know is that the FLV format is designed
for streaming or progressive download of video from the server to the user's
browser by converting it to the flv format via an import procedure into a Flash
doc. Normally I use Flash to import a movie into a Flash file layer, add a
sound layer for, say, a background music loop, on another layer and publish it
as a swf. Use the Component Inspector to set the rewind to "true" or "false".

This process creates two files: the swf and an flv which calls the swf when
the page opens or other event occurs. The user experience is absent the jerky
appearance that often occurs.

The video component that is imported into my Flash doc as described in my
first paragraph above, can either be a .mov from anywhere or one I create in
Flash and export as an .mov

I don't know about formats other than .mov I think it depends on your final
deployment, i.e. web, dvd, whatever.

I have not used captivate, but if it will create a .mov for you, should do it.
You may have, however, other controls to build in as well. Flash 8 and above
allows you to do that in the process of creating the .flv

Then, you must load the .flv and swf onto the server at the same level. Or,
you must make other code changes so the flv "finds" the swf. A different path
can be entered using the Component Inspector in Flash.

Hope that helps.
