Captivate 2019 – SWF compilation failed
December 2, 2019

On Windows 10, just re-installed Captivate 2019.  Unable to publish anything as Video, due to SWF compilation error.  Even creating a new file with only a title slide directly in CP2019 results in the same error.  Am now at deadline and will need a solution or new tool.  Any solutions?? Using 64bit

I am also getting the error Swf compilation failed when I try to Publish as a Video. I am not trying to publish Flash, I am simply using the Publish As Video option within Captivate 2019  Is there any solution to this?

I am getting the same message “SWF Compilation failed” when trying to publish a video file.  Was a solution ever discovered? Captivate version 2019 11.5.5.553

Are you talking about a software simulation or another type of project? The FMR-slides in a software sim may cause this problem. Did you check the HTML tracker under the Project menu?

I am having the same problem. I have Captivate 2019 11.5.5 and just upgraded my computer to Windows 10.  I first received this issue while working with a template.   To make sure it wasn’t an issue with my template, I  created a new project  from scratch with 15 plain blank slides with a text caption only on each blank slide and I still get the message. Then removed all text captions so it is just plain blank slides and I still get the message. “SWF Compilation Failed – Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name”.  Is there any updates on this issue?

Template files (cptl) are buggy at this moment, do not use them.

If this is a non-responsive project you need to know that all Preview methods except F11 (Preview HTML in Browser) use a temporary SWF output, which may cause issues. You didn’t specify when you got the error: on publishing (as in the original question) or when trying to Preview?
