Learning Interactions not appearing in published file

I'm creating a Captivate module with multiple learning interactions. The entire module will ultimately be embedded within a PowerPoint slide deck. The learning interactions appear and function correctly when previewing within  Captivate, and when published to SCORM cloud. However, once I embed the file in PowerPoint, the slides with the learning interactions do not appear, while the slides without learning interactions appear and fucntion correctly. Any suggestion on how to move forward? I'm publishing an .SWF file.

    Sorry for the metaphor. You do not embed a Porsche engine in a small cheap

    car.

    So is it not possible to embed a file with learning interactions in PowerPoint?

    PPT is a presentation tool, interactivity is not so important since it will be used by a presenter. Captivate can be used a presentation tool as well (I do) but has a lot more features because it is an eLearning authoring tool. Why would you want to use those features in the much less powerful PPT?

    Publishing a Captivate file to HTML5 results in a rather complicated folder, which should be uploaded to a webserver or a LMS (if reporting is turned on), just like a website. On a webserver it will be launched from the index.html file. You could embed the URL in PPT, but not the folder itsefl.
