I've used pipwerks SCORM wrapper with an elearning course I did a couple years back. Just ExternalInterface calls and letting the javascript do the dirty work for me seemed best for me at the time. http://pipwerks.com/2008/02/10/flash-demos-for-scorm-actionscript-classes-now-available/ -hth

There isn't really anything such as learning JSON, JSON is basically just an object, and is your best bet. You can convert an XML string to JSON, store it, and then when you need it reconvert it to XML if you really need to, but unless you're doing things with E4X that is probably unnecessary.

The JSON encoder class might do it automatically by passing an XML object to the constructor, idk, look into it maybe. It's also not very hard to loop through an XML node and convert all of it's attributes and children nodes into an object, something like this: (I took 40 seconds to write this,

I'm not sure you are really going to gain that much by using JSON instead of XML. ByteArrays have built-in compression as you mention (I think the compression algorithm zlib). Since XMLs generally have a fair amount of redundancy, it will probably reduce the size of your data (in bytes)

PS: Just made a quick test with a rather big xml and this is what I got (sizes are in bytes): xml: 49725 compressed bytearray: 9488 compressed bytearray + base 64: 12652 The figures may vary as the compression depends on the data, but at least here I got about a 1/4 of the original size after

For your FLV, you should load it dynamically and keep it external. We had lots of external assets used by our SWF (MP3, FLV, pictures) and we kept them out of the SCOs and out of the imsmanifest.xml, it was becoming hard to list all those files in there ! But if you only have a few external

Thanks for the info, but saying I should include the files in the manifest xml file is not saying I should need ti include them within the SCO itself. Do I need to? I can see from the perspective of allowing any LMS to deploy this SCO that the video files should be in the SCO... but is a 50MB

I believe that you can't get any return value that way (not sure, could be wrong). What you need to do is call a javascript with proxy.call wich then (the javascript) calls another function that sends data to flash through the proxy ... A better way to do that, if you use Flash 8, is to use
