    Sharepoint is NOT going to be the best place from which to serve your content. I recommend you try to get your company to allocate you space on an actual web server.  Fewer issues.

    The issue is due to the way Sharepoint loads files for playback.  When you run Captivate content there are multiple files that need to be called and all run at the same time in order for the content to work.  For SWF content might only be four or five such files that need to be called.  For HTML5 content there are hundreds.

    When you call a file in Sharepoint it actually makes a copy of the called file and delivers that copy to you from a temporary folder location.  This is not a problem when all you're doing is calling a single file such as a Word document, PPT deck, or a video file.  However, when you need to call several files at the same time because one file needs access to code that is held in other files, THEN Sharepoint is a bad idea because its method of delivering files tends to break the linkages between these files. 

    A normal web server doesn't have this issue.
