so I understand... I don't own one, or even a smartphone.. 

Iit's a limitation of the hardware, not the HTML5, correct?

We had some similar concerns here when we adopted salesforce.com and our sales people were using iPads as their primary presentation device.  At the time, salesforce.com wasn't optimized for tablets (not sure if it is now) and it has lots of mouse-overs, so we had to specify to them that not everything would work on their tablets. 

Since the training emulated the system, we made a command decision to develop the training for laptop/desktop only.

Hi,

In captivate 6 if you choose to publish to html5 , you get a warning that certain items are not supported and that you should check cp6-> window-> html5 tracker.

When you do this you get a list of items not supported, but its not mentioned in help how to fix them. Some of them seem to be non mouse supported items, but others such as widgets and back buttons I woudl have expected to be supported.

Similarly in the publish setting under advanced  there is "scalable html content" tick box but it is not mentioned what it does.

I think it is unlikely that Cp6 will support  the full range of experiences such as multi gestures.  For those without ipads here is a user experience document from Apple.

Hi,

Tammy Moore posted her investigation this on the adobe captivate facebook site.

"OK, it didn't take very long to check out what worked for HTML5 and also swf publishing options thanks to the HTML5 Tracker built in to Captivate 5-

audio and video (cannot be swf-based though, MP4 is fine)

text caption

click box

Highlight boxes

Zoom areas

buttons (though perhaps just the simple click ones, not the hover state)

All the effects that you add using the right lcik work (basoc, color effects, emphasis, entrance, exit, filters, and motion path)

insert mouse

Smart Shapes (shapes in the library are now much more diverse than the original circle, square, and polygon)

Text entry box

and of course the new interactions

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WARNING, THESE DON'T WORK IN HTML5:

Rollover slidelets (hover-based action which cannot be done with the touch actions on an iPad)

Rollover captions (hover-based action which cannot be done with the touch actions on an iPad)

swf animation-based actions such as text animations, hotspots

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great information. Has anyone been succesful publishing a project that contains an MP4 video to html5. Everything in my project works fine on my iPad, except the video slide. It stays on screen for the correct amount of time but nothing appears. I tried setting the Action to Show the slide video, but that does not work either.

The HTML5 Tracker does not list any items as unsupported.

Thanks!

Hello all,

This is a very helpful post.  I just tried the multicreen published file outside of an LMS and it works great.  This makes me very happy.

I find publishing to HTML5 to be quite unstable which is unfortunate because it looks superior to the Flash format and we have a demand for iPad output.

I've encountered two main problems.

1. An imported .mp4 video (Multi-slide synchronized video) will play its audio but not display its video portion.

2. The same type of video will loop once. The video portion repeats without the audio.

After this happens, the file will never publish HTML5 correctly again. It is somehow corrupted. I can still publish other formats correctly so it does not seem to be the Captivate file that's corrupted. In fact, it also work fine in Preview. Just not when Publish.

I have tried deleting the slide, creating a new one, reimporting the video, and it still breaks.

I have tried creating a new project. If only the affected slide is in the project it works. But start copying the rest of the slides into the project and it breaks.

The biggest problem is that the behavior is so unpredictable. I can go for several projects with no problem and then it crops ups again.

I frequently clear the cache. And I also always choose "Force re-publish all the slides".

Is anyone else having a similar problem? Any suggestions?
