I recently finally moved across to my Mac for all of my development work. The main problem I have come across is not being able to test any of my work in a SCORM test suite. The one I have on my PC is the ADL test suite which does not appear to be compatible with the mac, so does anyone know of a suite that is?
View 3 RepliesI have custom flash e-learning course and it has 30 swfs and one main swf. I need to do a SCORM package and upload it on LMS.
View 1 RepliesI've created a class based eLearning app that's based around flash engine which draws in XML and generates all the non tracked and tracked pages dynamically from the external content (it's multilingual and class template driven)I now have to make it 'Scorm compliant'
That is where i'm coming unstuck. I've only ever seen scorm apps as a physical file per tracked 'page / SCO'Where as I have literally a single swf and external xml, images, videos etc that are being drawn in at runtime.Is there a way of setting up the manifest so that it can target the one active/engine swf file but I can send complete/score/inprogress etc data back for each 'page' that has been completed. I'm tracking all the completion, time and score data etc internally to the flash app but haven't the first clue how to pass it out to Scorm so that data is recorded for each tracked page in each tracked module.
I need to make Flash AS2.0 SCORM 1.2 fully compliant.I have used pipwerks 1.2 wrapper as a example, and the paging works. However I also need an example that does the following: User name Scoring, Time taken etc.I have tried adding cmi.core.score.raw (In AS 2.0) to get score working but when I test it in Scorm test suit, it does not work, and is not scorm compliant.So can someone tell me how to make flash AS2.0 (and AS3.0) Scorm compliance i.e. what AS code do I need to add by ways of code examples.Also what is the best test suit to test it is scorm compliant?
View 1 RepliesI am working in an Articulate program that is flash based. I don't get much control over the way parts of it function, so I have added a lot of extras to it via flash movies I inserted.
There is one thing I am trying to figure out. I want to add an object that tells the LMS to mark the course complete. I don't need it to check if the score has been submitted or anything like that, by the time a student gets to this object, the test should be done. I just need a flash movie object I guess with the script that writes the completed status to the LMS.
Does anyone have a simple template that hooks a flash quiz up to an lms using scorm?
View 2 RepliesHow do you record / save a button press in Flash as3 and send it to moodle via scorm? I have two buttons, 'choice1' & 'choice2', and would like the users' choice to be recorded to SCORM. I just need to send 'some text' to moodle when the user presses either button.
Have been pointed to 'cmi.interactions' but after spending the entire day trying to find a working example, I'm completely lost. There appear to be no coded examples anywhere.
I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.
View 0 RepliesI have got a flex app that communicates with a Scorm-API.When i run a javascript function from flex with "adl.nav.request" , i have to make a terminate function to make it happen which unloads the whole system,becouse this function updateds an "imsmanifest.xml" file. This xml is updated this time. This xml contains all the items that are connected to the index.hml which runs the flex app. That is why its refreshes. But i don't want my flex application to restart too.

View 2 Replieshow to set the objectives of a SCO within the LMS reporting of SCORM?
Here is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var theScore = 10;
var theStatus = "c";
var intData = theStatus+";"+"mytestobj"+";"+theScore;
fscommand("MM_cmiSendObjectiveInfo",intData);
The only thing tracking in the LMS is "mytestobj" which is reporting as the objective name.
My ultimate goal in learning ActionScript 3 is to be able to create cool flash learning interactions for English language learners. All the different activities - drag and drop, multiple-choice - image hotspots etc - multiplayer mode on Grammar Challenge - would record a score which could be output in a SCORM format for a VLE such as Moodle or BlackBoard. The Flash interactions would run inside the VLE inside a simple CSS template content holder div which is resizable and is part of an elastic template. If I can do all that i will rule the world :-)
I've just started reading OReilly.Learning.ActionScript.3.0.A.Beginners.Guid e and I'm finding it quite tough in places. I know a bit about data translation in flat files, EDI, csv but no real programming experience. The real problem is the ActionScript 3.0. I'm starting at the very beginning and have a long way to go. My FLASH skills as a designer are moderate. My questions will always relate to creating or publishing interactions for EFL learners. I hope to be in a position to answer some questions in the future. It's all about the learnin..
Is writing a scoring system that can accept scores from any interraction difficult to write? What kind of competance level would it require? Would that be a sane thing to attempt? The scoring system I'm thinking of would accept input from all over the stage. Right and Wrong answers would be recorded? Length of time spent on each activity - Essentially if I decide something is to be captured it is listened for - recorded and output in a structured, usable and maleable format such as XML. Can you buy generic scoring systems for FLASH? Is there a village somewhere where they're custom built like Harleys? A generic scoring system that acts like a CLASS import to my as file - I just setup the addlistener, configure a few things and FLASH file records the data for outputs to SCORM. That would be really cool. It'd be a major milestone on the road to dominion.
in as2 i used a javascript function to connect with a javaScript wrapper for scorm and it work and now i moved to as3 so i am using the ExternalInterface.call instead of the getURL and that works but all the rest doesnt. know if in as3 i need to do more things to work with scorm?
View 3 RepliesI created a quiz from the quiz template in flash. I published it as "Flash with scorm 1.2 tracking"
-How do I create a SCO now?
-How do I use Dreamweaver's scorm run time wrapper and manifest maker?
-Whats my nest step after I publish my files from flash?
Is there any good tutorials on how to create a sco?Dreamweaver's manifest maker says I need sco.Can I just zip up the html and swf file? Is that a sco? It still won't recognize it as a sco.
Flash CS5.5 crashes when testing this movie using CTRL-ENTER a few times. Sometimes, a message warning that the Java Virtual Machine is running out of memory appears. I would like to know whether it is the FLA or my Flash installation that is corrupt.

View 1 RepliesI am making a simulation that involves particles dynamically added to the stage (lots of circles). When these circles collide (which are actually movieclips) they need to rebound (momentum switched). I have no problem with the physics but do not know how to efficiently check for collisions. It boils down to being able to 1) Check if a particle is colliding and 2) Getting which other particle (object) is involved in the collision?
I would ideally like particles to be able to check for their own collisions and adjust their own momentum, not just some meaty Render() function running on every frame. How could this be done?
I'm stuck! I've been surifng through the forum + several other forums for the last few days without getting closer to solving my problem.I've got 3 looping movieclips on the stage.Each of the MC consists of 3 frames with an image in each frame. When the user clicks on any of the MC, the MC stops and a certain image is loaded into a 'holder' on the stage. I've managed to do that by using this code:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
if (this._currentFrame == 1) {

The thing I've be struggeling with for ages now is the next step: When the user has clicked and stopped one of the movie clips she is supposed to move on and click and stop one of the other movieclips. Fine, but what I need to find out is which images/symbols that have been loaded into the different 'holders'
If holder1 contains a movieclip with the instance name 'pic1' and holder2 contains an image called 'pic2'a specific external movie will be loaded etc.
Is it possible to test the content of the holders/movie clip against each other? I hope there is, but with my limited knowledge of Actionscript I've not manage to find out how?
While testing the movie within Flash,the Test Movie window randomly goes blank, showing the stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window,everything reappears... Until a few seconds later, when it snaps back to blank... so I resize, it reappears, it disappears, I resize, it reappears, it disappears... over and over.Resizing even just one pixel is enough to get it to come back. Sometimes it happens every few seconds.
This might be related to another issue: If I Test Movie with the Bandwidth Profiler on, Flash CS4 doesn't resize the window correctly to fit my entire movie in it, resulting in a big blank space underneath the Bandwidth Profiler, and that same amount of space being cutoff the bottom of my movie. I haven't seen anything like this in 10yrs of Flash development. This is a Mac Pro, 8-core. The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD XT 2600. 6GB RAM. 10.5.3-10.5.7
The same FLA works without any issues on CS4/XP. The FLA saved to CS3 works without any issues on CS3/OSX and CS3/XP (same machine).I have all but given up on CS4 for OSX. Between the crappy framerates, the crashing, and not being able to TEST MOVIE, I just avoid CS4 on OSX and use CS3 on OSX or CS4 on XP.

Looking for some recommendations on tools that can be used independent of the source (that is just on the swf) to check for Frames Per Second, total size and how often the movie loops.
