Re: [Flashcoders] Flash AICC tracking
Unfortunately, I think you're stuck with that html page. It is what keeps the connection open to the LMS to make sure that completion_status is written to the learner's transcript. AICC can an ugly mistress, depending on the LMS implementation. -a- On 7/26/06, David Brunswick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello List I am able to post completion to my LMS using exitBtn.onRelease = function(){ getURL(myurl\myservlet?edt_action=RecModuleCmpl , POST); getURL(javascript: window.opener=self; window.close();); } The problem is the servlet launches a html page verifying completion which I do not want any ideas to prevent this? Fyi the second getURl closes the flash embedded html.

Re: [Flashcoders] large projects
Good question. It's going to be everyone's responsibility to stay on the same page, but if you're leading the effort, you're also going to have to initiate the kind of attention to details that you'll want replicated on the team. You'll probably spend a lot more time on technical design/architecture than you might be used to, because it will be easier in some ways to divy up the workload so that each developer (or each team of developers) is working on a discrete set of functionality. Early documentation will be key, so when there are namespaces that are shared by all parties, they're identified early. The goal is that integrating all this work should be as painless as possible. Obviously, if you and your team are pretty handy with OOP, this is easier to accomplish. Version Control is a must! It's bad enough when my PC hangs and I lose an hour's worth of coding (because I was stupid and didn't save every two minutes like the paranoid freak I am), but it's super bad when I want to go back to a state of my Flash file from a week ago and I can't because I didn't use any version control. Changing file names and doing a Save As isn't good enough. Subversion is cheap (as in free) and easy (as in you can learn the basics of doing it in a day). If you got a couple hundred, I think you can pick up SourceSafe (which works, albeit wonky from what I've heard, with Flash). I've had tremendous success with Rational ClearCase, though it's very expensive. If you're working with a team, there is absolutely no excuse to not use some kind of version control software. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Version Control pwns. I'm big on commenting code (for use with ASDoc or a similar program) and other forms of documentation (wiki, as an example) as a means of communicating what we're doing on projects without getting too hung up on formality. I don't need everyone on my team to push information to me -- I just need to know where they have information available so that when I need it, I can get it without interrupting them. That's why I like wikis and project blogging, although I haven't worked on a Flash project (in and of itself) that involved enough people to really drive that need. There's an excellent book out called The Art of Project Management by Scott Berkun, and it's really a great primer for how to organize a project so that a team of developers can do their tasks without being micromanaged or (on the other side) getting left out in the cold. For personal task management, I also recommend David Allen's Getting Things Done. This all might be too general for your question, but when I read your question, it sounded like more of a how do I manage a large project? kind of question. -a- On 4/5/06, Mark Lorah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a general question about workflow.
