Adobe Captivate 9-Animation (Motion Path) Question

I am currently working in Adobe Captivate 9 and am struggling with some motion paths.  I have a few objects grouped together (an example: A puzzle piece grouped with a text box) and want to make them move together on a motion path.  This motion path looks great in the preview, on the HTML5 preview, etc.  However, when I publish it as a zip file to Review My E-Learning, it looks nothing like the preview or html5 preview.  The puzzle piece ends up in one place, and the text ends up not moving as far--so they are no longer looking as though they are grouped.

In another example of this same issue, the groups that I put motion paths on did not appear to end in the position that they appeared to end at in HTML5 preview or preview of the screen.

Can you not apply a motion path to groups? Is anyone else having this issue? How can I resolve it?

Correct answer Lilybiri

You can apply motion paths to groups, but it is a bit tricky. It is the center point of the group that follows the motion path.

Can you also check your version number? There were issues for output in the first release. The present version is 9.0.1.320

Take a screen shot of the group and use it as an image that moves. Way easier.

Matching paths on a micro scale will take forever.

I am on the first version of Captivate 9. 

The problem isn't with the motion paths on the screen--or in html5 browsers...the problem I'm having is that the motion paths look different when they are published on Review My E-Learning.  What would cause this?

Please, install the patch to 9.0.1.320. I told you that there were such problems after publishing with motion paths in the first release.
