Captivate 9 and playing video from the library

Question

Is there a way to have the video on a slide the a project play from the library where its been imported to and not from a folder on the computer? We've imported the video to the library and when it is dragged to the slide the Event Video window opens. The event video window shows a path to the computer folder and not the project library. After you've set it up it then goes and republishes the video instead of using the published one added to the project.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Susan, I have problems understanding your question. The Library is not included when you publish a Captivate project. The objects used from the Library will be included but not all in the same way because not everything is loaded when you start a course (probably because it would take too long, is already longer in HTML than in SWF). Audio and video clips are loaded On Entering the slide where they are used. When you look at the published folder you'll see the subfolders 'ar' (audio clips) and 'vr' (video clips). None of thos clips is pointing to the folder on your system.

It is the last sentence that confuses me "...republishes the video instead of using the published one added to the project"?
