I'm using Moodle 2.0 and Captivate 6.0.
Occasionally I want to have multiple Files in the same file resource because one Captivate SWF file needs to load another one. This might be required if a primary SWF file needs to load an MP4 as a short mini-video. I’m unable to get this to work in Moodle. I’ve tried loading both files into the Moodle File Resource and then choosing “Set Main File” on the primary one. It is unable to find the secondary file.
I’m able to get the two files to work together on my own hard drive or on a regular website, but not in Moodle. At one point, I thought I could get it to work by turning on “Legacy Course Files” and putting them in the repository, but that didn’t work either. I also tried the Folder Resource and URL Resource, but I wasn’t able to get it to work.
I understand Moodle uses a database instead of a file structure in 2.0 and beyond, but there should be a way to get two files to play nicely together – I’m just not having any luck figuring it out. Hopefully there is a setting somewhere that I’m missing, but at this point I’m stuck.
If I posted this to the wrong forum, I apologize. I saw other posts about SWF files and repositories and I figured this was the closest I could find. If there is a better forum then let me know and I’ll re-post.
Thanks,
Scott
