Hans, The ADL test suite will only verify that your SCORM application is packaged correctly. To simulate an LMS, however, you will need another software, or get access to the actual LMS. I do happen to have a copy of a simple LMS simulator which served me very well. If interested, e-mail me directly to _itsco@aol.com_ (mailto:it...@aol.com) .

[Flashcoders] Importing A Button or Other Component Dynamically With Pure AS 3
Hello Actionscript Experts, Scenario: I have a shared library *.swf file with most of my assets. It is loaded after the main introductory *.swf file is already loaded. I then call from the Shared Library file the needed assets. Appears that this scenario of importing assets works great with all my custom ones (Sprite, MovieClip, Bitmap, etc). However, when trying to do the same with any of the components like Button, Datgrid..etc, I get an error. Right now it appears, the component must be stored in the library of the main introductory file, and be linked, which thereby makes this introductory file large. Any idea and/or solution/comments will be appreciated. Thanks, Dan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Need Help with Simplified LMS: Proof of Concept to Production
Hello, I am an intermediate programmer Looking for Freelancer(s) to help with taking a Proof of Concept several notches higher to the final version. Recently I have completed the development of a simplified Learning Management System (LMS) designed to work on both the Web and Desktop. For developing this proof of concept, I have used pure Actionscript 3.0, amfphp, PHP, MySQL, and SQlite for the AIR version. The design pattern used for the project’s classes is based on Model Viewer and Controller (MVC). If you are experienced with the above programming tools and available to start right away, please contact me directly at _itsco@aol.com_ (mailto:it...@aol.com) Currently, for better communications I would prefer US programmers. If you are in Southern CA, that would be even better. Thanks, Daniel ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Wait for several things to be loaded
Hello, I am also building an AIR application for a simplified Learning Management System (LMS), using the MVC design pattern. The Web version of the training programs is available for preview on our web site. As far as loading several assets at the same time, I have developed a general preloader (Assets_Loader) which can handle several items at one-load. Once an item asset, like an XML, swf or image is loaded, the Assets_Loader stores it in the proper storage variable within the model. Off course, while maybe not essential for AIR application, this asset loader also measures the load progress of all the files as a percentage of all the files being loaded.

It could probably be ok for a school.

Hello, Being on this list for awhile, I realize some of you are involved with the development of e-learning programs. I have been doing the same, and at this time I am trying to develop a simplified LMS for tracking students’ records. If anyone has already written similar code, I will be glad to purchase such. Based on my client base requirements, this LMS will need to work both offline and online. For the offline version, I plan to use AIR with its embedded SQlite. For the online version the training program and the database will reside on the Internet, where, I will use similar MySQL database structure. Ideally, when the user has some Internet connection, the AIR version should be able to transmit records from the SQlite to the server database. So far, all my e-learning programs are developed with pure Actionscript 3.0 classes (No Flex). I would appreciate any help and/or recommendation with the best method to approach this development.

To transmit data from the AIR app when connected to a server side database, you'll need some kind of server side script, like a web service set up. Do you know how to do that and what server side scripting is available on the host server? The AIR/SQL communication should be pretty straightforward - see the AIR documentation. Your biggest thing to tackle is the AIR to server communication piece.

[Flashcoders] How to Exit/Close the Web Browser from Flash Applications?
Hello, How to Exit/Close the Web Browser from Flash Applications? Could anyone suggest a code to exit the flash application and close the web browser window? I realize, the solution might be using ExternalInterface with JS. The question is how? The user can exit the flash application by clicking on an exit button or he/she can click on the Window “X”. When clicking either on the “exit” button or on the Window “X”, the flash application will show an alert message, asking the user whether he/she really want to exit. Upon clicking “yes” the application and web browser will close. Therefore, when the user clicks on the Window “X” the flash application needs to detect this click.

[Flashcoders] Two Parts Question for Displaying Special Characters/Symbols/Images
Hello everybody I am trying to display special characters within a text field either by specifying their numerical entities in an outside XML file, or by bringing them from the library. For illustration purpose lets consider a symbol named “checkMark” Part 1: The “checkMark” image is stored in the library of the starting fla. file as a BitMap, designated in the linkage properties by the class name: ” CheckMark_1”. If I wanted to just display this check mark graphic, I would use the following code: var _cMark:Bitmap=new Bitmap(new CheckMark_1(0,0)); addChild(_cMark); If I wanted to bring this same graphic named 'check_2.png' from a directory and embed it in an html text I would use the following: var tryText:TextField=new TextField(); tryText.multiline=true; tryText.width=200; tryText.height=200; tryText.x=100; tryText.y=100; tryText.htmlText=PART 1: Check MARK img src='check_2.png'; addChild(tryText); Both of the above codes are working fine. The question here is how to display such graphic within the html text, when the bitmap is already in the fla. library. Part 2: The check mark is very similar to the Square Root symbol. The numerical html entity of this symbol is #8730; If I use the following code on a frame, the symbol shows fine. tryText.htmlText=PART 2: Check MARK #8730;; addChild(tryText); If I bring this symbol from an XML file, contained in “CDATA” type node, the symbol does not show. The rest of the text shows ok. Any idea on why it works ok within the fla. file and not when loaded from an XML file?

[Flashcoders] What is a practical limit for System and/or Cache Memory
I am currently in the midst of developing a large e-learning program. The program includes many large files of graphics and animations (mostly by bitmaps) that are loaded when required. To minimize waiting time, once these assets are loaded into designated sprites or movieclips they are either shown or hidden by (visible=true/false), i.e., if the user goes to the same part of the e-learning program, the asset use (asset.visible=true). My question: is there a practical limit on Flash 9 system memory where the program starts to perform sluggishly. And is such limit would be based on the RAM or cache size.

[Flashcoders] Verifying Numerical Input
Hello Everybody, Before I try to maybe re-invent the Wheel, and write my own code. I was wondering whether anyone has a sample Actionscript 3.0 code for verifying the input to a text field is a Number. Generally, the isNaN() is ok. But when one input a number with the Thousand Separator (Comma) or ((Period) in certain countries)), isNaN() does not work. For example, suppose the required answer (input) is 1.00. If the user inputs 10,000.00. Flash does not consider that as a number. If the user inputs 100,00.00 that is certainly not a number. So, unless I am missing some built-in Actionscript fuction/class, the code needs to check whether the input contains Thousand separator(s) and whether they are in the right position. Once the check on the Thousand Separator(s) proves to be OK, i.e., the input is a legal number, we can than compare this number to the one required. Thank you, D.

In “file 2” I would then get the content of the productName variable by using “_level0.productName”.
