What feature in Captivate allows you to organize your projects (SWFs) into a
menu so users can step through the related recordings one at a time (view,
back, next). Please tell me it's not Menu Builder. ;-)

I am evaluating Captivate 3 and am looking for something like Camtasia Theater
where you drop your projects into a menu builder, sort them, title them,
identify the links, and you are basically done.

Surely there is has to be something like this for Captivate projects. I've
seen menus like this online using Captivate projects, but they were definitely
not made with Menu Builder. Is there a 3rd party tool or other Adobe
application that does this?

Captivate earns high marks for ease of use and generation of recorded demos,
but I don't want to get stuck creating clinky website menus when a companion
tool should do this in minutes with polished results.

Thanks for any info.

I am also very interested in seeing this answered. So far all of my work has
been deployed through a LMS however I am now starting to research different
ways to organise and deploy captivate projects. Also, to add on to
masterctrl01's post . . . what is the best way to go about setting up a website
that has a series of captivate files available through a flash interface?

The way I've been doing it is with hyperlinks in an HTML page.

Here's what I do:
1) Publish your Captivate movies, and have Captivate produce a HTML page for
each movie.
2) Create a blank HTML page (i.e. in Dreamweaver).
3) Create a menu in the HTML page. Each menu item is a hyperlink to each
Capitvate HTML page.
4) Edit the style of the HTML page menu. I usually do all edits in CSS, but
you can use DHTML, images, etc.

I've created some menus that look really good using CSS, borders, margins,
backgrounds colors, etc. I've sometimes created a <frameset> - so I do not have
to reproduce the menu on each page, and I load all the Captivate movies in one
designated frameset page.

You could also easily do this within Flash - and just link Flash buttons to
the Captivate HTML pages.

For navigation within one Captivate movie between slides - I have a product
called the .http://www.kcwebplaza.com/captivate/menu.html.

Okay, but that is what I was trying to avoid. :-D

What you really want is a drag and drop or a tag and add option for a "menu
maker". Then name and sort the links, pick a look and feel template
(left/right, top/bottom menu), then publish as a group. Then you can have a
single link on a website that displays the menu and runs all the links
returning to the menu at the end of each project link.

You can certainly build this type of function on a website, but this should be
push-button easy within Captivate itself.
