Captivate 5.5 variables in AS3

Hi, i seem to be having a problem accessing the captivate 5.5 variables in AS3.
I saw guides that tells people to do something like
var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.rdcmndPause = 1;
but i cant get it to work.

Hello,
What do you mean by 'playback': from the screenshot I deduct it is Previewing. Did you try to view in Web browser of after publishing already?
Could you check the quality of the slides in the Properties, General region?

Creating variables in AS3 that Captivate can read.

I have a Flash project written in AS3 and I am colaborating with someone that is writing a Captivate training program. The Flash program is a little game and I need to store a couple integers readable by Captivate. I would like to just create the variables in AS3 and have them readable by the Captivate code (that I am not writting).
If that's not possible I suppose I need to actually locate and update the varibles in Captivate (we decided on some variable names).
user_pass (integer, 0 means user is still trying and 1 means user passed)
user_attempts ( I will store how many attempts the user made at the game)
Thanks very much for any help. I think she is pretty strong in her Captivate coding abilities, and I am only moderate in my Flash/AS3 abilities.
Edit: I wanted to mention that the flash game was embedded into a slide in Captivate.

In AS3 you can use the bracket notation...
var trainOfUfo = "...hi earthling...";
var handleBlade = this["train"+"Of" + "Ufo"];
AS2 supports the eval() function, but it was done away with in AS3

Captivate 4 Variables and AS3

Hello,
I need to pause a Captivate 4 movie externally with AS3. The
reason for this is because I have a drag and drop interaction,
therefore I need to pause the movie so the interaction can take
place. This worked perfectly with AS2, but due to issues were
having with flash player 10 and Captivate, we have to use AS3
throughout.
In AS2, all I had to do was put
this._parent._parent._parent.rdcmndPause = 1;
That was it. Bring that into the Captivate file and bang it
paused like a gem.
How do I do that with AS3? Any help would be greatly
appreciated
Thanks
Doug
Update:
I used the attached code to correct the issue, in case anyone
runs into an issue where the need to pause the CP SWF externally...
I know the whole purpose of Captivate is to eliminate the need of
external Flash resources, and even though Captivate is a great
program, it cannot process a drag and drop interaction without
using Flash.

I'd expect the same to work. Are you saying it does not?

Accessing Captivate 5.5 variables from embedded SWFs

Hi,
as we all know the interface for accessing Captivate variables from embedded SWFs tends to change between Captivate versions. Shortly after it's release we upgraded to version 5.5, and I'm not succeeding in accessing the Captivate variables in my Flash/AS3 code the same way it was done in version 5.
How should I access the Captivate 5.5 variables (rdinfoCurrentSlide et al) from my SWFs?

Hi,
You can use system variable : cpInfoCurrentSlide to show the slide number.
So you can use text captions to display the value of the variable, the format for displaying the value stored in the variable is $$<system variable>$$. So for slide number use : $$cpInfoCurrentSlide$$, type this in the text caption and then check it in the preview.
Thanks

Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching. I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process. I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products). How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5. I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables. I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

Global variable in as3.0

I am doing something with flash cs3,I need to use global
variable in it ,but there is not global variable in as3.0,can
anyone help me ,thanks forever!

There is no global in AS3. But you can make values globally
accessible by
using static fields in classes. e.g.
// MyClass.as
package
public class MyClass
public static var globals = new Object();
MyClass.globals["hello"] = "world"
trace(MyClass.globals.hello);
// and if you want to simulate something a little
// closer to the AS2 _global object you can drop
// this into a top level in your class path
// global.as
package
public const global:Object = new Object();
global["hello"] = "world";
trace(global.world)

Are there a dynamic way for evaluting variables in as3?

Hi..!
eval() is a usefull method or function in javascript.. Because we may define our variables via dynamic way..! There are following code is for understanding that how can define dynamic defining variables in javascript.. And Are there a dynamic way for evaluting variables in as3 like following javascript code?
<script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript">
var trainOfUfo = "...hi earthling...";
var handleBlade = eval("train"+"Of" + "Ufo");
alert(handleBlade); //-- it appears in dialog box text field area "...hi earthling..."---
</script>

Captivate 7 handling Variables

Asking for some much needed Help!
I have defined 3 Variables to store 1 of 3 selections per slide in this fashion below:
(V_Hambergers,      V_Fish,      V_Chicken).
They are connected to the following:
Slide1
Hambergers and Fries
Fish and Chips
Chicken and Fries
Slide2
Hambergers and Rice
Fish and Rice
Chicken and Rice
etc..
These bullet points represent the possible choices, the User can select to define their favourite food. These choices will be different per slide as per example above. The end result will be defined via the most popular food choices, displayed on a result slide.

Thz for the lesson Lilybiri,
I had to step back from this coding for a few days, it can be so confusing. I found there is an error in the Variables Expression, when I choose one choice, it wound total two choices all at once from one slide.
I take it, there needs to be some kind of a coded check, for the choice made, that only allows for one choice per slide?
below are a few queries:
     I
     defined 4 variables: v_choice (will be
     associated to radiobuttons widget),
     v_ham, v_fish and v_chicken
     (counters)
     On
     each slide I inserted the radiobuttons
     widget, with the 3 choices and all linked to the same variable
     v_choice (is reused)
     I
     used a shape button on the master slide,
     to pause the slide and to trigger this conditional
     advanced action with 3 decisions:
          [Ham
          decision]       IF v_choice is equal to
          Hamburger <does
          this refer to the Variable (v_ham) ?
                                                                                Expression
          v_ham = v_ham +
          1
          [Fish
          decision]         IF v_choice is equal to
          Fish <does
          this refer to the Variable (v_fish)
                                               Expression
          v_fish = v_fish
          + 1
          [Chicken
          decision] IF v_choice is equal to
          Chicken <does
          this refer to the Variable (v_chicken)
                                               Expression v_chicken
          = v_chicken + 1
     Display
     a text container on the result slide with the three counter
     variables.
     TextCaption
     = $$v_ham$$
                                      $$v_fish$$

What is the correct way to determine the width and height of a captivate movie at runtime in AS3?

I have an entire layout framework built and one of the controls is a GUIControlWrapper with every conceivable option for wrapping and aligning (uniform scale, stretch, stretchwidthonly_aligntop/middle/bottom, stretchheightonly_alignleft/center/right, etc.) non-framework controls (i.e. controls that are display objects, but do not inherit from my layout framework's base GUIControl display class).
Generally this wrapper obtains the object size by calling wrapped_control.getRect( wrapped_control ), to obtain the object's rectangle in its own coordinate system (i.e. its unscaled or original size), and it clips this rectangle to the origin by setting the left and top properties to zero.
The problem I'm encountering only affects captivate movies. When I used my framework's uniform scale option, there ends up being a gap at the bottom exactly the size of the captivate movie's playbar (which is visible), which indicates to me that the captivate movie's getRect and height properties are overreporting the height.
If I use the captivate movie's "cpMovieWidth" and "cpMovieHeight" properties instead, then the uniform scale results in perfect alignment. The captivate movies "contentHeight" variable is 38px smaller than "cpMovieHeight", and the playbar height is 40, which is about that 38px difference.
So my question is, why do captivate movies' getRect and height methods report the wrong height for the movie, such that if you actually scaled the clip based on that height to fit the stage size, there is a gap about the size of the playbar?

I'm sure it's because the movie controls are a seperate swf. CP supplies you with the variable that works as you've found.

BIG THANKS!!

the problem is nothing your showed.   did you see a security warning that you ignored?
to test, if that's the problem go here and adjust your security settings: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml
if that fails, upload your files to a server and confirm everything works. then start working on your local configuration.

Adobe Captivate 8 system variable "cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice" is empty for random multiple-choice questions.

Does anyone run into this problem when capturing the user answer for a random question slide? Adobe Captivate 8 system variable "cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice" is empty for random multiple-choice questions.

Hi Shriyansh.
The reason I am interested in capturing the user answers in Submit All situation is that I know after I published the test using SCORM 2004, all the user responses were captured in "cmi.suspend_data" because my test can resume the test to the last exit question in the middle. However, when I looked at the suspend data value, I have a hard time to understand the pattern and pick out the meaningful user question responses data. I really need help from you to understand how the suspend data value was constructed and how to parse this data. Another area I thought it's easy to get the user question responses data is the interaction records, but I always got only one question (the last randomly sampled question) interaction record. See the following generated XML SCORM 2004 4th edition data. Could you help me figure out how to interpret the following suspend data to get the users responses to each test question? And why I only got one question interaction record? Thanks again for your help, Zhuoran.

Access Captivate variable in as3

I used the following code on a frame within an swf that was imported to a CP4 slide. This worked fine in as2. I'm wondering how to write the same code in as3.
_parent._parent._parent.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
Thanks

Hi,
For one, AS3 uses "parent" and not "_parent". Also, I believe that there are now 4 clips between the slide and your swf. So try with parent.parent.parent.rdcmndNextSlide and if not working try parent.parent.parent.parent.rdcmndNextSlide.
If all fails, let me know and I will give you the exact function to call. It's just that I'm away from Captivate and Flash at the moment.

Controlling External Captivate 5 swf using flash AS3

Hi,
I have created a basic Flash AS3 interface in which I am trying to control the navigation (next slide / previous slide) of an external captivate 5 swf which I have added using a loader, but i cant work out the solution.
My code is currently as follows:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var Xpos: Number = 96
var Ypos: Number = 94
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
my_loader.x = Xpos;
my_loader.y = Ypos;
addChild(my_loader);
stop();
nextBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,gotonextframe);
function gotonextframe(event:MouseEvent){
MovieClip(my_loader.content).rdcmndNextSlide();
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks
Dez

Thats perfect, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
I guess you have tried:
rdcmndRewindAndStop
Set to 1 to rewind and stop the project.

Processing a PHP variable in AS3

I have looked in every book that I have on AS3 and cannot
come up with a solution to this, I hope that someone can help me.
I am receiveing a data string from a PHP --- mySQL connection
on my web server. The string is arriving in flash as I can trace it
and see the variables. If I do a trace on event.target.data I see
the following.
&numResult1=4&numResult2=14&numResult3=37&numResult4=70&numResult5=5&numResult6=3&doneLoad ing=true
This is exactly what I should be seeing based on my PHP code.
I am trying to assign the numResult numbers to a dynamic text
box, for instance numResult1 = 4, I would like to assign that 4 to
a dynamic text field on the Flash Stage. I have not figured out a
way to get the variable out of the string.
I keep getting undefined or a variety or other errors with
the different methods I try.
I have tried numerous ways using the URLVariables class but I
have had no luck. Use to be very simple in AS2, I could assign the
variable right to the dynamic text field in the properties panel,
not anymore.
Does anyone know how I can do this. People are doing it all
the time, it can't be that hard, is it?????
Just a good example as to how to break the variables out
would be really helpful. I have tried the FlashGods site and could
not figure there examples out, in fact the two I tried did not work
at all.
I would appreciate any help.... Thank you.

var myURLVariables:URLVariables = new
URLVariables(myURLLoader.data);
gotoAndStop(2);
Here is what I get with the Trace Statement:
&numResult1=6&numResult2=6&numResult3=5&numResult4=9&numResult5=7&numResult6=1&doneLoading =true
Here is what I get when I try to set the URL variables.
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to
URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing
name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at MethodInfo-2()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Now it sure looks to me that the string being passed is
name/value pairs.
I have tried every way that I can think of to capture this
data. I must be missing something simple.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Pass Variables into AS3 through Query String?

Man! I've been searching ferociously and can't seem to find a solution that works for me. I am trying to pass variables via query string on a PHP page to Flash, and then have the swf add movie clips to the stage depending on the information it receives.
Here is what the PHP outputs:
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/detailScore.swf?a=0-0&b=0-0&c=30-54&d=30-20&e=42-18", ...
And here is my AS3 code:
function loaderInfoSh(e:Event):void{
var myQueryStrings=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
a = myQueryStrings.a;
b = myQueryStrings.b;
c = myQueryStrings.c;
d = myQueryStrings.d;
e = myQueryStrings.e;
addTheResults(a,1);
addTheResults(b,2);
addTheResults(c,3);
addTheResults(d,4);
addTheResults(e,5);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderInfoSh);
The addTheResults function takes the coordinates, adds a MC instance to the stage and positions it accordingly.
var colorMCArray:Array = new Array();
function addTheResults(val,colnum:Number){
if(val == null){val = "52-46";} // so I can test it locally
var daColor:String;
switch (colnum){
case 1:
daColor = "f3951c";
break;
case 2:
daColor = "74b47d";
break;
case 3:
daColor = "436494";
break;
case 4:
daColor = "9b74ac";
break;
case 5:
daColor = "b43d44";
break;
var dash:int = val.indexOf("-");
var lateral = val.slice(0,dash);
var vertical = val.slice(dash+1);
lateral --;
vertical --;
// adding the MC instance
var comm:tileB = new tileB();
comm.name = "comm"+colnum;
addChild(comm);
colorMCArray[colnum] = comm;
//Change the color
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = colorMCArray[colnum].transform.colorTransform;
var thiscolor = "0x"+daColor;
colorTransform.color = thiscolor;
colorMCArray[colnum].transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
colorMCArray[colnum].x = 5;
colorMCArray[colnum].y = 536;
colorMCArray[colnum].x += (lateral * 9);
colorMCArray[colnum].y += (vertical * 9)*-1;
colorMCArray[colnum].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, btnro);
colorMCArray[colnum].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, btnrout);
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Was this the "e" in the code below you were pertaining to as the culprit? "e" is not a keyword. It's just the shortcut for the word "event" for the variable name of type Event which is the Event object that triggered the call of function loaderInfoSh. In your code you assigned e = myQueryString.e which should have given you a type mismatch error.
function loaderInfoSh(e:Event):void{
var myQueryStrings=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
a = myQueryStrings.a;
b = myQueryStrings.b;
c = myQueryStrings.c;
d = myQueryStrings.d;
e = myQueryStrings.e;
addTheResults(a,1);
addTheResults(b,2);
addTheResults(c,3);
addTheResults(d,4);
addTheResults(e,5);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderInfoSh);
