Exporting Your Movie to Breeze


Macromedia Breeze enables you to publish your movies to a Breeze server and then make them available to participants in online meetings, presentations, and trainings. If you don't have a Breeze server, Macromedia is now making the product available on a per-use basis. You can obtain full details at https://service.breezecentral.com/cfusion/bots/purchase/index.cfm.

Captivate adds a new dimension to the Breeze experience, because you can now add software simulations and demonstrations to your Breeze meetings.

Tip

  • If you discover that Captivate has a problem connecting to your Breeze server, the odds are quite good that the URL entered was the one that your Breeze administrator sent you. For example, you may have been told to link to http://breeze.mycompany.org/common/support/course/startmain.htm. In this case, you would be unable to connect because you are going to a specific locationstartmain.htmon the server, not the server itself. Instead, enter the actual server address (which, in this case, would be http://breeze.mycompany.org).
