SCORM Compliance with external folders/files

Hello.

I am having trouble getting my Lectora produced SCORM files to validate with ADL Scorm Suite 1.2.7.

My course contains a Flash interaction that uses external SWF and XML files which are loaded at run-time.

I have integrated these files into Lectora as 'Additional Files - > Add Folder' on the main SWF. There are a collection of subfolders under this folder with the different files inside them.

It works fine in preview mode, HTML publish and Scorm publish on the LMS.

However, when testing in the ADL Scorm Suite, it does not pass the Manifest compliance check, saying:

ERROR: The manifest is NOT valid against the SCORM Application Profiles

Looking closer at the log, the error lies with the external files:

'ERROR: URL "myExternalFile.swf" could not be verified for correct format'

Oddly enough, only one error will show in the log with no mention the other external SWFs/XML files. But after reordering/playing with the structure, both the XML files and SWF files have the same problem.

Any idea what this problem could be and how I could fix it?

Thanks.

Update - I have managed to fix the problem myself and will include the solution for anyone who has a similar issue:

It seems to be that adding the external folder appears to break SCORM compliance, (according to the ADL Test Suite).

If I include all the XML/SWF files as additional files, and program my main SWF to look in the current directory, rather than subfolders, all additional files show up in the manifest test and it passes.
