RE: [Flashcoders] Need help with posting to Plateau LMS

2006-07-24 Thread Sinead Hogan
Hi,

I have some experience of working with flash content on LMSs. I don't
fully understand your problem however. What close button are you
referring to? The browser close button? 

I did encounter a serious problem trying to ensure flash content on an
LMS had sent all its status/completion data before the page in which it
was embedded got unloaded (usually due to some user/LMS navigation). I
found an IE-only solution which enabled the flash  javascript to hold
up the thread until all flash data had been sucessfully sent. It
involved using showModalDialog to keep an invisible, modal window open
until data sent verification. If this sounds related and you want more
detail just let me know.

Sinead.

Hello list I have searched and tried several methods with no success
posting
completion status to a plateau LMS with Flash player 8. 
The swf file is called from a wrapper.html

I have tried fscommand on the close button and javascript functions on
the
timeline within the flash piece. Does anyone have successful code for
the
communication

Sorry for not being so clear. For example the student takes a course(content
object) at the end they will click a close or exit button at that time the
completion status will be sent to the LMS. I have had success in the past
using php or asp as middleware. Now I am dealing with a Plateau LMS I have
found samples for scorm objects although I am using the AICC model.

Within Plateau there is a wrapper.html which is a frame that calls the .swf
file within another frame. Which brings up the other issue of closing the
window.
