Bleh. That's
lame.
Awhile ago, a client was inquiring about
customizing the Flash question/quiz templates. When I asked why he didn't
want me to bust out a custom solution, he was like, "Well, they come SCORM
compliant."
Upon investingating what that really meant code
wise, it was basically a bunch of AS1, hackish array crap that I wouldn't touch
with a 10-ft pole.
I was hoping that the Captivate stuff would be
something like, "Oh... we didn't think anyone would care about this AS stuff..."
but apparently not.
SO, in this case, is there any libraries that could
be converted to AS2 to work with the _javascript_ integration kit so it could be
Scorm Compliant?
BTW, thanks Brooks, but apparently it's wrapped up
in company policy and re-inventing the wheel seems ok instead. What is in
Flash MX 2004 currently is not acceptable, and I NEED something to get my
CaptivatePlayer working for Flash 6/7 SWF's that need to work with
SCORM.

Components Jesse,
You might want to
tackle Tom King on this topic—he at least could get you pointed to the
development group within Macromedia who are responsible. I communicated with him
a bit about the Captivate Flash / SCORM API back in March, but the dev team said
it was still a work in progress and didn't want to release the API externally at
that point—I dropped it and never and never remembered to come back to
it....maybe for a big hitter like yourself, the answer will be
different. I've included my thread
with him below: Regards,
Brooks
From: Brooks Andrus [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Tom, We spoke briefly after your
presentation at Plugfest 9 and you indicated you could hook me up with the
external file and documentation which allows Captivate - LMS information to be
handled by another Flash movie (shell). I gave the Captivate Developers Center a
look and didn't see anything mentioning this. If you could provide further
information it would be greatly appreciated. Also has there been any effort on
Macromedia's part to provide or recommend an AS2 SCORM framework and data glue
solution which is newer than the now several years old solution you helped to
bring to fruition. Any thoughts in regard to this would be helpful.
Regards,
Brooks, there's limited documentation on the custom tracking stuff, but I'll see what I can get you. Currently it is NOT for general distribution.
Again, all of that is preliminary, based on a 5-minute sidebar with the ADL folks. The Flash Learning interactions will be updated with Flash general releases, but that doesn't always sync with customer needs or ADL timelines. The next learning interactions will use newer ActionScript, but be more of an evolution than a revolution, if that sort of description helps. Regards, Tom King
I've been informed that the customized SWF is currently only available for business partners & OEM's. I'll be updating my Plugfest9 presentation accordingly and forwarding it to the ADL. Regards, Tom

A lot of users of my CaptivatePlayer have questions on how to get it to work with their Scorm implementations. Apparently, those ActionScript API's don't work when the SWF is loaded into a shell via loadMovie, and taken out of their own respective HTML pages which apparently do the talking.
As such, when digging in the SWF via ActionScript Viewer, I found all kinds of crazy integration API's and
