Passing your own Flash quiz data to Captivate

Question

Hi there!
Can anyone describe how or whether it is possible to pass quiz data from your own imported Flash quiz, to the Captivate environment in which it is housed? Basically I want to make use of Captivates SCORM packager but using data from an embedded Flash file...is this a simple process?
Thanks!

Hi osbornsm,
Try out Jim's suggestion above, but if that doesn't work then what's probably happening is the widget is trying to load the languages.xml but can't find it. You'd have to make sure it's placed in the output directory of the published Captivate file to get it to work. Even then, you won't be able to get it to work when previewing the movie.
Probably a better way to go about this would be to embed the XML file into your widget SWF. That way the widget won't need to load it. Here's how you'd embed it:
package
    public class load_lang extends StaticWidget
        [Embed("path-to-file/languages.xml", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
        private var BinaryData:Class;
        override protected function enterRuntime():void
            var byteArray:ByteArray = new BinaryData();
            var myXML:XML = new XML(byteArray.readUTFBytes(byteArray.length));
             // Continue to code in processXML()
