Re: [Flashcoders] Tracking User progress through a presentation.
Right now it is 1 swf with multiple flvs but I will be doing another one that will involve multiple swfs. Should I adapt a loader bar to my tracking needs? I could use a database for tracking but I just need a little nudge on getting the tracking part started.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tracking User progress through a presentation.
SharedObjects would be much better than cookies as they are native to flash. or you can keep the progress on your server through a database. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Herrman Sent: 6 février 2007 12:39 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Tracking User progress through a presentation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tracking User progress through a presentation.
If you are already using Flash, then SharedObject seems to better than cookies. But it can depend on your actual project structure, of course.

[Flashcoders] Tracking User progress through a presentation.
Can anyone point me towards a tutorial on tracking and providing feedback to a user on where they are in the current tutorial/presentation. For instance if a tutorial has 5 sections and they have only completed 3 I want to be able to show their overall progress in relation to the entire tutorial.Kind of like a progress meter. Should I do this within Flash or with javascript and cookies? I want the user to be able to come back to a tutorial and pickup where they left off and I am thinking cookies would be the best method for tracking progress. - Kind Regards, Mike ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
