Sum Total LMS/Captivate Integration Problems

Question

I have worked through issues with RoboDemo and now with
Captivate in relation to intergrating with My LMS- Sum Total. I
know the approprite settings to use in the Quiz manager, have
loaded the course to my LMS successfully, but the communication is
not occurring between the course and the LMS. I have looked at the
.htm before when working with RoboDemo and it actually shows line
by line what data to send to the LMS (I.E: Send score, send
objective information, etc.. ) but the .htm output from Captivate
doesn't seem to generate this same sort of data.Could this be the
problem? 
I have the .htm, imsmanifest,.swf, and the SCORM support
files, that I have uploaded to the LMS. I am confident that I have
all of the files needed as well as the settings yet the LMS does
not seem to recognize the Initilization call. Would someone be able
to look at my manifest and HTM to determine I have the necessary
verbiage - I think I am missing the "Send" verbiage. Any
thoughts?

We use SumTotal and had to change the API load order to get Captivate content to work. Andrew Chemney wrote a guide to this (see the support/development center). The following is what we had to do to get the LMS to initialise correctly, taken from the article;

If the SCORM API cannot be found, change the default value of the API order variable (g_intAPIOrder) so that it tries to find the API from the top-down. To change the order for finding the API:

1. Edit the HTM file that was generated by the publish process.
2. Find the line that contains the initialization reference to the variable g_intAPIOrder—by default the line/value is var g_intAPIOrder = 0;
3. Change the value so that it reads: var g_intAPIOrder = 1;
