Flash Content In ELearning: One SWF Vs. Many?
Apr 3, 2010
We are designing a Flash-based language course, and I am not sure which architecture we have to choose. The content won't be uploaded to the Internet, it will be used only locally.Possible architectures:1) A single SWF with all the data stored internally - it seems a rather clumsy and inefficient way (or it's not?).2) To make a Flash-based interface, and to keep the data saved in a MySQL database. It presumably allows to organize the content better, avoiding self-repetitions. The problem is that the language teacher (who is not an IT specialist) will have to install additional software to handle MySQL.

I'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 tried to create some, such as "Drag and Drop" or "True and False." However, the instructions weren't adequate. I couldn't figure out what Adobe was telling me to do. I went online to Adobe, and tried to find tutorials.It seems, to me, that there Quiz Learning Interactions are included only in the version of Flash CS5 that comes with the e-Learning suite.

i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.

I want to create an elearning module in AS3/CS4 which will be scorm compliant ( using pipwerks) and easy to maintainFrom reading up on elearning you can specify navigation, sequence and flash content in OR- in flash using code I was going to use flash XML to load all the swf movies for each screen and to specify the navigation - is this the best way?Does having to do all the work in XML increase the maintenance amd what tool do you give designers to do this - Dreamweaver

I've only had several Flash and AS classes so my knowledge on them is pretty limited.The eLearning I created in Adobe Captivate 5 is launched by my employer's LMS in Internet Explorer. As I'm sure you're aware, IE maintanes focus on certain keystrokes. The eLearning covers our proprietary software where a user must use certain combos such as Ctrl + L, Ctrl + E and the like.I've been searching for a solution that would allow the user to perform the actual keystroke. One of our IT guys found some code and inserted it into the htm and js files that Captivate generates and it worked in Firefox but not IE and IE is the only browser my employer supports.I am already employing a workaround but it's just not the same as being able to have the user perform the actual keystroke.

produce some very simple checkboxes to insert into an elearning program.The Checkboxes he created before he left are apparently overly complex and refer to _root and/or _level0, which is a no-no for the elearning software.I've done some web searches to see what I can find but honestly I haven't felt this stumped since first year calculus.

I evaluated the Flash Media Server 3.5 by running samples for .flv,f4v,.mpg,.avi video formats and the product looks excellent to work as a Video Streaming Server - Live Video, Recorded Video Viewing by Audiences.
Query : ELearning Course modules are designed and developed using Macromedia Flash and Action Scripting Language.The Output Formats of the LMS are .swf files.As Elearning courses - LMS offer/involves User Interaction (Viewing courses by Students, Giving Exams for obtaining certification etc).Can we also use the Flash Media Server 3.5 for integrating with LMS Site running in IIS 6.0/7.0 ?
Client : IE 6.0/7.0, Macromedia Flash Player 10.0.

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

I'm developing a Flash application which is communicating with Javascript to allow more features such as custom html input etc., by placing an absolute positioned div on top of the flash application and controlling it's position etc. with Flash & Javascript.
Because these html elements have to appear above the flash content, I figured the following basic css would be enough to do the trick:
#flashContent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
[Code].....
So, the htmlContent has a higher z-index than the flash content and thus it should be shown above it. Unfortunately, this only seems to work when you set the Flash object's "wmode" parameter to "transparent".
The problem with this setting is that it's seriousely decreasing the application's framerate to an unacceptable amount.
For static content this does not seem to be a problem, however for my application there's all kinds of elements that you can drag around which have to be moved real-time (while moving the mouse).
So, how do I enable html content on top of flash content without using the "transparent" wmode parameter or how do I optimize framerate when using the "transparent" wmode parameter?

I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space. I treid to use clear() and removeChild(), but this only works when I choose pic1 then remove that to load pic2, is there an easy way to substitute the content for the new content?

I'm revamping a website I'm working on to be accessible to those with disabilities. I'm using the Jaws screen reader to test.The Flash content is embedded in a ColdFusion page.The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to navigate to the Flash content on the page...
hitting the Tab button on the keyboard only tabs to the next link on the ColdFusion container page, never tabbing to any of the Flash buttons.If I click on the Flash content once, I can then tab between the Flash elements, but 508 standards require keyboard-only access, so clicking once isn't an option.Also, even though I've given each Flash button a name in the Accessibility panel, the screen reader is not reading the names. (Works fine in an all-Flash page, but not in the case of Flash being embedded in a ColdFusion page).

We currently have an issue with in our Citrix farm with Windows 2003 Servers (x64, R2, SP1) Where Flash Flash 10,0,22,87 is installed and working fine when logged in as a Domain administrator but will not work as a normal (non administrative user) to confirm I've given a user who it did not work for Domain admin rights and it started working straight away. I'm using (and published within Citrix) the 32bit version on IE for compadibility reasons and have also tired this on a Window 2003 Server (x86 R2 SP1) and am getting the same results so I have to assume the issue is with Flash and not with my setup.
I've tried the following recommendations:Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via website with an Domain admin login using the change user /install command Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via install_flash_player_ax.exe installer with a domain admin account using the change user /install command Allowing Domain users Modify Premissions (to both the Directories and Files) to the M:WINDOWSsystem32MacromedFlashswflash.ocx & M:WINDOWSSysWOW64MacromedFlashFlash10b.ocx Following KB article [URL] and applying the premission changes recommended Following KB article [URL] and checking the registry premissions on these items I've enabled all ActiveX and Java related IE options in Group Policy to allow the to run for the Internet Zone When going to [URL] either as a Domain admin or a Regular user it confirms that "You have version 10,0,22,87 installed" Still I cant seem to get flash components of websites to load when logged in as a non Administrative User.

My website is already done, however I found some sad property right after completion and publishing. When I zoom out (with ctrl+mousewheel or ctrl+-) my content which should be hidden is revealed which looks terrible and ruins whole effect (as you can see in the link below).
[URL]
I did not use any mask, as I could not overcome the issue that I needed 2 masks actually - one for the whole opacity in the middle, and second for the rest with slight opacity and I believed flash CS 5 does not allow this.Therefore I used simple layer with low opacity and small cut window in front leaving my moving pictures in the back.Now is there any way I prevent either browser from zooming out or zooming in(javascript perhpas?) or Flash from showing off-document content?I think I've tried every combination of Flash publishing. Every time after zoom out the space between flash object and the rest of the html are enlarged and pictures off-screen are shown.

How to hijack the swf file content while I use IE to view a webpage which contains a Flash (swf) file. This does not involve decompiling a swf file or cracking a swf file, that's easy for me. My goal is to modify the content of the swf file (eg. http://www.xxx.xxx/org.swf) just after the swf is loaded and just before the Flash player executes the swf file (parsing by asv engine). Yes, the modifying opportunity is very rigourous. I just want to hijack the swf in IE, that is to say, my target is flash***.ocx (ActiveX control).
I tried to hook InternetOpenRequest and InternetReadfile APIs and I detected that IE calls internetreadfile to download the data of the requested swf file. I have tried to modify the buffer returned by the internetreadfile api (I zeroed all the buffers), but it doesn't work. The Flash works as normal. I clean all my IE caches and all flash caches and try again, however it doesn't work either. Flash shows just normally. I do not know why this happens.

I'd like to create a expandable flash file that lays over html content. Here's what I am trying to figure out how to do. I have a client that I made a flash banner for that has flash map that you can interact with which I loaded in as an external flash file. The client would like the map bigger for better viewing, but currently only the US map and not the whole world, so what I would like to do is make a button that expands just the US map with locations and add some rollover interactivity, but it would have to lay over the html content. So currently my flash file is 682 by 201 placed in div on html page, I'd like to expand out of that box to larger map system.
I've seen this expandable box thing in Flash Ads, but not just for regular content. Here's a really good example of flash expandable which would similar to what I would like to do just using on onclick so it stays and onclick to close. I've seen a lot of google ads do this to lately. I'm using the CS4 products. I've tryed making my original document the full size for instance, 682 by 501 and loaded that into my div, but when played, the flash is resized to fit in my div space of 682 by 201 and there is no expansion over html content at all.

I have a swf file (as3) that is in a header of a page. When I run the page the content below it is hidden. It's in the source code but the browser doesn't display it. If I put the swf below the content everything shows up fine. It does this in both chrome and IE. If I take out the swf from the header all of the content shows up fine also.
