Linked widgets

If you have a widget that references other widgets, do the following to display the widget in the Widget panel.

  1. Save all the related widgets in a single folder.

  2. Create a description.xml file that provides information about the linking of SWF files.

    The description.xml file contains the following tags:
    Description
    Description of the widget.

    Type
    Type of the widget: Static, Interactive, or Question.

    Name
    Name of the main SWF file that uses the linked SWF files.

    Linkedfiles
    Name of the SWF files that are linked to the main SWF file. Use semicolons to separate the names.

  3. Compress the folder and name the ZIP file, giving it a .wdgt extension.

  4. Place the ZIP file in the Widgets folder. The path to this folder is \\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate <version number>\Gallery\.
