Thanks for your comments. With regard to...Hi Mark,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. With regard to Widgets, there are a few Flash Developers creating Captivate widgets. Take a look at the Adobe Captivate Exchange for more details.<br /><br />http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=productHome&exc=22&loc=en_us<br /><br />As for Flash Catalyst and eLearning, that is something that I am still thinking about. I can see some potential but at present for eLearning, Captivate wins hands down.macrofireballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478442458125533424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33522343.post-68249324133443332902009-06-04T19:11:02.353+01:002009-06-04T19:11:02.353+01:00Interesting post.

I did, and I just don't see it other than a useful tool to develop custom user interfaces or course players. But you'd still need to code the navigation in Flash or Flex and you can import the graphics into Flash already, so no real benefit from using Catalyst for that.<br /><br />In regards to Captivate Widgets...I was really hopeful about them when they first came out but then that hope was deflated when I looked at the stub code they provide. It's horribly documented and difficult to follow. I have yet to see a single Widget developed by anyone other than Adobe, so I'm certainly not in the minority here. I admittedly haven't given it much time though, but based on what I saw, the Widget functionality is a long way from being useable for folks. <br /><br />mark<br />www.elearninglive.commarkhttp://www.elearninglive.comnoreply@blogger.com
