We're very experienced Director developers, but this is a new one for us. Background: we're keeping scores for multiple modules for a CBT and then submitting them, when the tests are complete, to an ASP script. No problem there, except:
1. The client wants the scores submitted in the background, with NO interaction from the user. 2. The end user may not have a live connection at the time when he/she's finished the final module's test, so the test results may have to be submitted later. 3. The client wants the test scores to be in an encrypted format on the user's hard drive. (We were thinking of saving the information via a Flash shared object, through a Flash application, and then having a Director executable import the information and post it.) What we're currently thinking: we'd like to install the Director executable into the Startup Items folder, and check for a live Internet connection. If the user's CBT tests are completed, the data is uploaded (completely in the background--with no user intervention--is this possible?). But then we would like to destroy the executable when this process is complete. Is this plausible? What can you tell us generally about how we would go about this? Or can you think of a better/easier way? Thanks in advance. Chris Rasmussen TheNewMediaGroup, Inc.
