Link to other project issue

Hi, I'm trying to link other project from the project I created, by the button as the trigger.
It works as of the preview but doesn't work on LMS with error message shows up.
I followed the official work flow according to the user guide and checked the community for help many times but I couldn't find any solution. (might be not good enough to find it)

I also tried to put the file or project with several different file format according to the user guide; When linking Captivate projects and publishing HTML5 output, copy all the referenced projects with their corresponding HTML files to the callees folder in the output folder. 
Nothing worked.
Is there any other solution to solve this issue?

 

Thanks,

Mariko

    Yes that is correct.  If there was no LMS involved, and you were just delivering this HTML5 content via a normal web server, then you could potentially 'daisy-chain' one module to another by linking each module to the index.html file of another module.  But with an LMS and SCORM involved, the LMS will block what you are trying to do because the LMS needs to launch the SCO module in order to correctly track what the learner is doing.

    The SCORM standard prohibits SCO modules from looking outside themselves to find files they need in order to run, or from linking directly to another file.  So, if you are publishing to SCORM HTML5 modules and uploading these separately to an LMS then you cannot link between the modules.  You have to leave it to the navigation provided by the LMS to call each SCO module in turn.    That's the way LMSs are designed to work.

    RodWard, thank you for the quick reply.
    To be cleared, so in case I upload my project to the LMS by SCORM HTML5, it doesn't work (fit) systematically according to SCO module circumstances which means the thing I'm trying to do on AC is not acceptable to the LMS. Is this correct?
    Sorry I'm not technical person so not good at technical words.
