SWF movie created using Raptivity uses _root inside its ActionScript. In most cases, SWFs referring to _root do not work inside any container that loads the SWF.
In the slide containing your SWF file, insert the Attached SWF , and publish the file. Both the files should be externalized when publishing.
To externalize the SWF file:
1. Select Edit > Preferences.
2. In the Publish Settings option of the Project menu, select Animations in the Externalize Resources list.

Now that the hint hint wink wink days are gone, I can go ahead and reveal the stuff that these features are made of. Note though that these links might not go to the correct pages if we update the help at a later point in time. For the next month or so at least, I don’t see it happening.

The Adobe Captivate product team has its own blog http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate. You can shoot all your technical queries to posts in this blog site. For anything related to documentation, you can post comments on my blog.
Tridib has already posted a blog on the elearning suite, and I am sure you will find the material very useful.
One of the flagship features of Adobe Captivate 4 is the ability to comment on SWF files. The workflow is described in the following image.

This is the almost official talk on Adobe Captivate 4. For the past few months, I have been busy documenting the new features for this release, re-hauling the previous content, and generally trying to assuage all those people who have been wanting better content in the Help. When the product is out, I am hoping that most of those complaints about content will be addressed. If not, you can always tell me areas that need improvement. And with our new help system, you will not have to wait for the next release to see your comments addressed. The actual time might vary depending on the severity of the complaint, but I am hoping that I will get the corrections updated in a month's time at the latest.
