OK - quick version of the problem is that my company
has lots of learning content made up of flash in html.
Often this is delivered as standalone CD's rather than
via an LMS.
All the flash is authored in Flash MX, and depends on
javascript - for navigation and settings flags in the
movies and so forth.
Any customer who now upgrades to F8 finds it no longer
works - any javascript is not called.
The only option I can think of is sending every person
to the settings manager at the Macromedia website -
and that really isn't a good option. Most don't have
full internet access (which is why they got the CD
version!) - and in any case, these people very often
do not like to (or are unable to) work out the
settings manager - plus they get worried about why
they should need to. Even Macromedia's website admit
many customers may not feel like using the settings
manager!
Can someone please help me out here - how can we get
these CD's working? Or more to the point - the
javascript working??
I can't really understand why the security is this
strict, but as it is - there must be a way to allow
local content to call javascript?
And even if (God forbid) there isn't an easy way for
the existing CD's out there - is there any file/policy
file/anything that will mean those made from now on
will work? We have literally thousands of courses that
need to go on CD's and have access to javascript - it
is pretty critical for our company!
This is such a common use of flash that I can't
believe there isn't an easy answer to this - please
someone tell me I'm right!!
