What is it that you are trying to do. What do you mean by adding swf to Captivate?

The OP wants to read custom events from an embedded SWF in a Captivate project. Captivate supports basic events but not the kind the OP is requesting, which is beyond your typical "loaded", "playing", etc.

There are quite a few events you can subscribe to. I haven't test them all, but the events that are available in the Common JS Interface are also available for SWF within a widget. Slide enter, variable value change, interactive item submit, many others.

Page 328 does say that example in the Adobe Captivate 9 manual and I also haven't found any support for custom event sniffing inside Captivate itself. It appears to give a list of just the events it knows how to handle rather than a direct connection to handle "any" kind of event. It appears start, stop, pause and resume are the only things detected.

I haven't had a lot of time to play with it but I may need to this week so if I do find a way to detect a custom event in Captivate I'll be sure to share it.
