Embedded files do not work

Hello,
I have been trying to embed files in articulate and none of the embedding has been working. I have attempted a web page, a captivate file, etc...
The web page will open in preview, but when I publish it, it does not open.
The captivate file at first says 'Loading...' in the upper right corner in Safari and in Firefox it claims it cannot find the file (shouldn't it be embedded?) Plus, when I follow the path, I find the fle. I.E. opens the folder the files are in, but I was not expecting that to work due to the info. I've found on I.E. issues with web objects.
The files work when they're not embedded, but once I put them in and publish it seems like something breaks down.
HELP!!!!!!

Hi Jessica and welcome to Heroes,
Often times, web objects won't work due to security issues in the browser. Can you try uploading your content online & testing your content there?
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the welcome. I wish I could but I don't have the ability to upload and test the content. I'd read that is one of the best things to do, but I thought it would have worked in ONE of these browsers!
Also, it concerns me that it's looking for the embedded file locally. Is that something you've come across previously?

Hi Jessica,
Can you try using Dropbox as a free web server to test your content?

If you continue to have issues once you have it online, send me a link to the content from Dropbox and I'll check it out.
I'll give it a go! Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully it will work.
It works! Well, the web page worked right away. I had to futz around with the embedded video but that works now too! Thank you for the suggestion.
Glad to hear that you were able to figure it out!
