LiveCode interface to SCORM /LIT

Hello Educators, Will Jamieson, and the DP teem are deep into creating an online and App integrated LMS in LiveCode. We are at the stage of creating a SCORM and LIT interface to our App. I see that several people have posted on the subject and was wondering if anyone has finished, made any

It appears to be just this stack. After creating a new stack, and even setting it to copy the same files, the build works just fine. Yes, I do have png files, quite a lot of them, inside an images folder that is included in the Copy Files section. Like I said though, I included that folder

Re: Dumb question about files on a server

The current path starts in the same directory as the script being run, so you can do all your work relative from there. You aren't finding a path "to" the server, all paths on the server are relative to each other, and since the lc script is local to that filesystem thats exactly how you view it.

Re: Dumb question about files on a server

Ah k.. well on the server side the code should be relatively simple. You need to check for the existence of a folder, so in your .lc script -- if there is not a folder "foldername" then... applies still. If its not there, create it (create folder "foldername") If it wasn't there it is now, so

Are these PDFs created by you with LiveCode, or coming from other unknown or varying programs? Is is all text, or a mixture of content? A PDF built to the older PDF-1.4 spec, is fairly simple to construct from scratch using just text. Example: Paste the following into notepad, and save it.
