Hi Scott, I've done a little research and I've found that the articulate swfs dependant on some external files. As far as I can gather the specific file is in a folder called language, the file itself is mydata.xml . It's possible if this file is put into the courselab at the same level as the swf or in its original folder so the file is one level down it might work. I suspect however that it won't as the statement calling the swf in courselab won't reference mydata.xml without you manually changing the courselab xml.
The addition would be after the swf is called and should be something like
myloadingdataXML = new XML();
myloadingdataXML.load("language/mydata.xml", "");
Again running the content in firefox with firebug for a local running module or an http analyzer if its server based might help.
Its probably best to make universally usable swfs using flash itself as this only ties you to the player not a specific platform.
