thanks for the prompt replies...
macrofireball, when you export captivate 2 projects to flash
8 are your mouse paths retained? my experience has been that the
curves are lost, becoming straight lines...
other issues i've encountered include zooms not showing up at
all, highlights using the color outside areas (similar to masking)
not being removed in subsequent slides so that multiple older
highlight windows all show up together, and layer relationships
being altered so that the resulting screencast is wrong,
backgrounds not showing up, small non-fullscreen placed images
being rendered as though they're fullscreen (peripheral areas of
the graphics rendered as opaque white space that hides the
background below), etc, etc...
have you not seen this behavior at all? the time it takes to
fix these chronic issues has made the program near unusable for
me...
DilbertG, i've tried all manner (and number) of slide and
object combinations and while it used to work, even blank slides
refuse to work now...
i'll try your dual instance suggestion, but captivate is so
slow when running a single instance, i'm a bit hesitant to rely on
such a workaround... anyway, i'll give it a try...
