Do a basic call in as2 with scorm 2004 using flash template

I can;t seem to get any calls working within flash. This is in as2 but needs to work with scrom2004. I have published using the scorm 2004 template, and all the needed files (including the manifest) are there
The init command works
fscommand("SCOInitialize", "");
but any get or set commands do not I have tried tons, including
fscommand("SCOGetValue", "cmi._version,ver");
fscommand("SCOGetValue", "cmi._version:ver2");
ExternalInterface.call("SCOGetValue", "cmi._version"))
I am just trying a simple example, getting the version variable. both are null when outputted
Any ideas how to get a simple value
Thanks

Publish setting - flash with scorm 2004 tracking

Hi,
I am using the HTML publish setting 'Flash with SCORM 2004
tracking'.
Can anyone help point me in a direction to find out how to
use this from within the .flas?
Is it 'fscommand("set/getValue","paramameter,value");?
Thanks,

Hello,
For AS3 projects we use Pipwerks Actionscript 3 SCORM API Wrapper for LMS communication (this includes CS6 built projects). See link below:

Javascript for custom Exit button on Saba LMS with SCORM 2004 v3 requirements.

What should I add to the javascript panel on a custom exit button in Captivate to properly exit a course uploaded to a Saba LMS with SCORM 2004 requirements?

I can confirm that the approach recommended by georgeyp worked for me with Captivate 5.5 and Saba. After publishing in Captivate, I opened the SCORM zip package and edited the imsmanifest to remove the masteryscore line. It seems that the LMS has nothing to compare to the 0 score value passed by Captivate and so it does not move the incomplete course to the Transcript and mark it ‘Unsuccessful’.
I did not have an issue with the course getting stuck on the first screen and just showing the LMS initialization text.
Note that I also tried the additional code (suggested but not guaranteed by Saba) and it did not solve the problem. I also tried using the 'SendTrackingDataAtEnd' SCORM template available in Captivate under Preferences > Quiz > Reporting. It did not solve the problem either.

Problems with SCORM 2004 communication

I'm developing a SCORM 2004 Compliant LMS. And with contents
developed using Captivate, if you close the content window
intermediately after finishing the quiz, the lasts interactions are
being lost.
Debugging the JS execution, I can see that the commit
function is called some time later after the user answers the
question, and if you go quickly from one question to the next, the
commit execution, and the SetValue to add the interactions, starts
to be delayed more and more... then when you get to the end, if you
close the window, the pending changes are not executed.
I tried to delay the window close, until the finish function
get executed... this works, but with some contents (for example the
"Random Quiz" that is included with Captivate 3) the user have to
wait 5 minutes!!
I take some measures, and is taking 18 seconds from when the
user clicks the submit button, to the commit function get called,
what is happening?
The SCORM API implementation is very simple, and is not
throwing errors.
Any help and ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
Javier Rodriguez

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you. Best I can
suggest is
take this up loudly with Adobe Support. We have two customers
with the
exact same problem in our LMS. Like you, the only solution we
can
suggest is to ask the user's to wait...which in this case,
since the
lesson has several questions, means about 10 minutes!
We did get Adobe support to look at the lesson and they
reported no
problems. I don't understand how that could be. So perhaps
with your
voice added, they can figure something out.
good luck!

Multi-SCO Packager does'nt works with scorm 2004 (captivate 7) ?

Hi everybody,
I recently published a mutli scorm using Captivate 7 and multi scorm packager.
Eveyrthing works great when I publish each content to scorm 1.2 and use multi scorm packager after. It works fine in my LMS (moodle or Dokeos).
But when I publish each content to scorm 2004 and after use multi scorm packager, my course doesn't work in my LMS. A new window is open but nothing is displayed.
Anyone has the same issue with mutli scorm packager from captivate 7 and scorm 2004 ?
Best regards.

Hi,
I just tested the same workflow as you mentioned, i created a new project in version 7, set reporting fro SCORM 2004 and published using multisco packager and uploaded it to an LMS (http://cloud.scorm.com)
I was able to launch and go through the course successfully which makes me curious about the nature of your course.
could you please tell us, if this was built in a previous version of Captivate?
can you upload the same package to scorm cloud and verify the results.
Caan you check the Edition of you settings which is 3rds by default. (Quiz-- Quiz Preferences-- Scorm 2004--Manifest), republish and then upload again.
Good Luck.

Calling stored procedures with output parameters using RDO and VB

I have a simple test procedure defined as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_sp (inval1 IN VARCHAR2,
inval2 IN NUMBER, inval3 OUT VARCHAR2, inval4 OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
inval3 := 'RETURN TEST';
inval4 := 10;
END;
I am attempting to call this procedure from VB 5.0 using RDO and the Oracle ODBC Driver 8.01.06:
dim rdoQd as rdoQuery
dim grdoCn as rdoConnection
strSQL = "{ call test_sp('SOMETHING',?,?,?) }"
Set rdoQd = grdoCn.CreateQuery("", strSQL)
rdoQd(0).Direction = rdParamInput
' get error# 40041 at above line
' "Object Collection: Couldn't ' find item indicated by text."
rdoQd(0).Type = rdTypeINTEGER
rdoQd(0).Value = 5
rdoQd(1).Direction = rdParamOutput
rdoQd(1).Type = rdTypeVARCHAR
rdoQd(2).Direction = rdParamOutput
rdoQd(2).Type = rdTypeINTEGER
Set rdoApp = rdoQd.OpenResultset()
MsgBox (CStr(rdoQd(1)))
MsgBox (CStr(rdoQd(2)))
When I run this VB code, I get the above mentioned error. If I use placeholders for all parameters (like "{ call test_sp (?,?,?,?) }" ), no error occurs.
I really need to use the first type of syntax from above and not have to use placeholders for all parameters. Is there a way to accomplish this?
TIA,
Esther

Are you getting any warning while importing the stored procedure?
Please check the below datatypes:
While creating the stored procedure, if you have used varchar(MAX), please ALTER it to varchar(255) and reimport to DS.
Also, the datatype of $message (global variable or local variable) used inside DS should also be varchar(255)
Try a print statement in between.
ADMIN.DBO.SPJOBSUMMARY(69,$message,$rtCode,$rtVal);
print('Message is '||$message);
smtp_to('leighattest.com.au', 'Results of ' || job_name(), $rtCode || '//' || $rtVal || '~~' || $message || '//', 0,0);
and see in the job log if DS is able to retrieve the output from DB.

Calling SAP Trx with dynamic parameters using EP6SP2

Hi
I would like to call an SAP transaction from EP6 and pass parameters (one is variable) to the initial screen, process this screen so that the user is dropped into next screen ready to work.
I would like to pass the screen field's value, which is variable, as a URL parameter.
eg. http://<ep6 server>/...?p_id=xyz
How can I do this?
Thanks
Doug

Hi Doug,
You can write a custom Java iView, calculate the variable param there and use URLGenerator to get the URL for the SAP transaction. Then just display it in an IsolatedHTMLContainer in the iView.
Regards,
Patrick.

You are making things very complicated than is necessary. To insert the three pictures, I suggest use this code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="thumbnail">
    <img src="image01.gif" alt="image01" />
</div>
<div class="thumbnail">
    <img src="image02.gif" alt="image02" />
</div>
<div class="thumbnail">
    <img src="image03.gif" alt="image03" />
</div>
</div>
Then you need to use this CSS code:
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
#wrapper {
    width: 800px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
.thumbnail {
    width: 200px;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
.thumbnail img {
    margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
    border: 1px #777 solid;
Do this on your page and then come back for more advice. You need to change the code to suit your own circumstances. Look at this link:
<http://www.mytechnet.talktalk.net/pictures01.htm>
The three colors on the page should be treated as three different pictures!!!!.

Problem with SCORM 1.2 option

I am using Captivate 8, I bought a licence. When I save my file, to be exported to my LMS, using the SCORM 1.2 options, the file, named imsmanifest.xml, contains an error in the code. So the LMS is not able o read it correctly. I requested the solution to my LMS, that is LITMOS, nd they said to me that the problem is on Captivate and that they have other clients with the same problem. Please can you help me to solve this issue?
Best Regards. Gaetano

Manifest files are pretty straightforward, in general (except when you get into deep sequencing rules). Any clue as to what it is saying the error involves?
Could be something simple.
I had an issue with sumtotal a few years back, with scorm 2004 manifests.
There is an item in the manifest where you declare which scorm spec is being followed, and for that particular version of sumtotal, it expected the manifest to say "scorm 1.3" instead of "scorm 2004".
Mind you, they both refer to the same set of standards but that simple change (which I made using notepad) solved my dilemma.
But I agree with Rod, and scorm cloud is my benchmark for testing always.
Hope that helps and if you want a second set of eyes on the manifest file, I'd be happy to take a look.

Why does captivate 5 scorm 2004 change the pass/fail status when using complete/incomplete

SUMMARY: I am trying to use SCORM 2004 reporting but I am finding out ADOBE does not diffentiate between COMPLETE/INCOMPLETED and PASSED/FAILED variables in the SCORM 2004.
RESULT: I can not accurately get the passing/failing status from the course.
QUESTION: Is their anything I can do or does ADOBE have a patch they have release which will accurately report the passed/failed STATUS as well as the completed/incompleted status.
OTHER RESEARCH: I even attempted to post these "proofs" on scorm.com and they have something called "SATISFACTION TRACKED" to accomodate content creation systems (CAPTIVATE 5) which does not follow the standards of SCORM 2004.
BACKGROUND: the report status "Incomplete/Complete" and "Pass/Fail" under the publishing options for SCORM 2004 essentially mean the same thing when the CAPTIVATE COURSE sends setvar commands to the SCORM API... In other words the SCORM API receives the same exact commands when publishing in both modes. "THIS IS WRONG"
why is the wrong? IF REPORTING; incomplete/complete ; the CAPTIVATE 5 COURSE SHOULD NOT "change" the STATUS OF PASS/FAIL when attempting to report COMPLETE/INCOMLETE with 100% slide views.
DEMO #3> SHOWS THE PROBLEM
About DEMO #1 and DEMO #2> these are other reporting options I attempted with other problems arrising..so these images are just for supporting my original problem which is shown in DEMO #3...
DEMO 1 (REPORT STATUS has no affect on reporting):SETTINGS:
PASS: (PROBLEM)
Anything above Passing Score is not recorded to LMS (once passing is reached...no more bookmarks are recorded)
FAIL: (CORRECT)
Failure gets sent to the database on the last screen with "completed"
DEMO 2 (Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api):
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
NOTHING GETS SENT TO DATABASE (stuck in final score screen forever)...because it says "INCOMPLETE"
DEMO 3:
Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database with a 90% passing with "completed"
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
LAST SLIDE SENDS "completed" but GETS SENT AS A PASSING SCORE??? even when it is a failure
(IN OTHER WORDS ADOBE CHANGES THE PASS/FAIL STATUS based on slide views...
this is WRONG ....REALLY WRONG becuase I am trying to report
"COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE" for 100% slide views
PASS/FAIL OPTIONS:
OPTION I CAN PURSUE?
SO WHAT CAN I DO? YES, I CAN TELL THE LMS...to COMPARE THE SCORE RECEIVED DURING A "COMPLETE" status...and then change the grade in the LMS based on the SCORE IN THE LMS...BUT THAT WOULD MEAN THE LMS COULD REPORT ONE GRADE and the COURSE COULD REPORT A DIFFERENT GRADE....and that would not be good.
ALL OF OUR COURSES SHOW THE STUDENT THE FINAL SCORE WITHIN EACH COURSE..
QUESTION TO ADOBE?
SO ADOBE when are you going to differentiate these two reporting options so that the PASS/FAIL OPTIONS ARE ACCURATELY REPORTED WHEN USING COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE?
MORE INFORMATION
HERE IS THE SCORM.COM "Satisfaction" adjustment (very last line) to accomodate inconsistent reporting in CAPTIVATE 5.

Hi,
Here's something I found in a similar situation... hope this helps!
After publishing your CP5 project as a SCORM 2004 zip file, unzip the file so you can get into the separate files. Open the imsmanifest.xml file with a text editor; I like using Notepad++. Search for the line starting with <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>. The complete line will probably look like <imss:minNormalizedMeasure></imss:minNormalizedMeasure>, this is the line that is supposed to contain your passing score (at least for our LMS). So, if your passing score is supposed to be 80%, edit this line to be: <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>0.80</imsss:minNormalizedMeasure> and save the file. Then select all the files and re-zip them, I use 7-zip for that.
I found one other weird thing that doesn't happen 100% of the time, so test it. In the example above, try to get a score of exactly 80% (or whatever passing grade you are using) and see if you get the correct status reported. I found I sometimes have to re-edit that line in the manifest file to be 0.79 so it correctly includes an exact 80% score. No idea why and you have to watch the number of questions in your quiz to make sure that works for you mathematically.
If this works or not, I'd recommend posting your results so others can get some ideas. Good Luck!!

SCORM 2004 content in OLM

Hello,
I am new to OLM. I realize that OLM 11i supports only SCORM 1.2 content. What happens with SCORM 2004 compliant courses inside OLM? Will OLM run them, give errors, etc. Do they necessarily have to be converted into SCORM 1.2?
Jasmina

Hello again,
Now, I tried to upload some SCORM 1.2. content. While the course material done with Breeze is successfully uploaded and run in OLM, the Flash courses do not run. The error is: "Unable to find an API in a parent window". At the same time I installed an open source environment "Ilias" and the same Flash courses run without any error.
Is there something wrong with the course content [I reapeat, all uploaded courses run on another LMS "Cobent" and open source "ilias"without any problem] or maybe something with the OLM configuration?
Thank you

Retrieving learner_reponse using SCORM 2004

Has anyone had any luck getting any version of Captivate to report cmi.interactions.n.correct_response and cmi.interactions.n.learner_response when publishing with SCORM 2004? I've been using Test Track because I couldn't get the ADL suite or Moodle to run properly. It's also not an option at the moment to test in the LMS the content will eventually be running in.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for that tip, I've double checked that and it appears to be correct. I was under the impression that the reporting section would just be used for the criteria for completion and would still report the score/percentage.
This is what my screen looks like, pretty standard I think.
Any other areas that I should doublecheck? I was thinking of making each question worth 5 points but that would require manually adjusting each course, less preferred way to fix it.
I started thinking that under Quiz Result Message I only have Correct Question and Total Questions checked off, but don't know if that would cause the percentage to not output. Unlikely I think.

How to connect my app interface with the code in flash builder?

I'm a beginner and learning my way around actionscript,mxml and flash builder.So this may seem foolish but please bear with me,I'm creating a very simple ios app using flash builder,I have created a simple app interface (A background and a custom navigation bar)using photoshop for my app,now the question is how do i import it into flash builder so that i can connect it with the code i have written? or is there another simpler way to create a app interface using other products like fireworks or catalyst?
In short, I want to know how is an app interface created(wt software) and how is it connected with its code using flash builder.Any help would be greatly appreciated, and tutorials would be swell
Thanks!

Can you use stage.width or stage.stageWidth?

Problems with Scorm and Captivate

There appears to be a major problem with Scorm compliance and Captivate 4.
From my understanding, Scorm 1.2 requires that the Manifest include the filenames of all resource files in order to import them. It appears that when Captivate externalizes its resources (Skins, etc) it does not include them in the Manifest. This is because Captivate does not dynamically create the manifest, but rather uses template manifest to fill in variables. The file that is missing from the template is untitled_skin.swf. Below is the template and the output from my test. From the template, it does not appear that Captivate will support anything other than a single SWF and be compliant with Scorm 1.2 (1.2 Scorm Specs http://www.imsglobal.org/content/packaging/cpv1p1p2/imscp_bestv1p1p2.html)
Template:
<resources>
<resource identifier="@RD_MQZ_MANIFEST_ID_RES" type="webcontent" href="@RD_MQZ_MANIFEST_HTM_NAME_HREF" adlcp:scormtype="sco">
         <file href="@RD_MQZ_MANIFEST_SWF_NAME"/>

            <file href="SCORM_support/scorm_support.js"/>
            <file href="SCORM_support/scorm_support.swf"/>
</resource>

Please advise..
Thank You!

Michael,
SCORM packages do have a number of "must-haves", but the listing of every last resource asset is more a best practice (although a good idea).
The content doc that you reference actually states that it is a best-practice document at the top.
My stand has always been that in the long run you are much better off if you follow all the rules (especially as the standards evolve and build on each other) so I would love to see captivate list all the resources in the future.
Importantly though, for any SCORM certified LMS there are two instances where resources MUST be listed.
First, if it is the href launch file for that particular resource (i.e. <resource identifier="SCO_ID1_RES" type="webcontent" href="untitled.htm"adlcp:scormtype="sco"> in your example) then obviously it must be listed in order for LMS to serve up the next part of the course.
The other time it must be listed is if that particular resource is actually a "dependency sub-element" of whatever sco or other resource it applies to.
As long as you have those bases covered, and all the other rules of course (schemas definitions, etc...) it should still pass the appropriate ADL conformance test suite.
I use both captivate 3 and 4 with a whole host of different LMS systems and have found the generated files to be quite sufficient for basic packaging needs.
Although, I have made a few customizations based on comments I have read from Andrew Cherney and Mike Rustici (I try to read everything either one of them answers for someone on the forum).
If you are saying that a particular LMS is doing some kind of "import validation" before it accepts and allows you to publish your content, then that is actually quite common (though usually transparent unless you hit a snag in the validation).
Typically, the validation will consist of a shortened version of the same basic items that the ADL test suite checks for (schemas and declarations, launch files, etc..).
That said, if because of an LMS that you need to account for, you absolutely NEED to have all the files listed in the manifest, a great tool for ensuring that is actually free.
It is called RELOAD, and if you ever take one of the courses run by the ADL Academic Co-Lab (which I highly recommend) that is the tool they use for teaching about packaging and sequencing.
Very useful tool for creating new packages or editing existing packages as well as adding metadata, sequencing rules and so on.
RELOAD lets you drag and drop whole directories of resources and set their dependency requirements so you could use it to quickly add all your resources to the manifest.
This is their website:

I can generally get by with just the files that captivate generates for scorm 1.2 , but for any heavy lifting (i.e. dynamic sequencing in scorm 2004), I always bring RELOAD into the picture.
I hope this was helpful. I tend to ramble on about standards sometimes...

Freezing issues in IE8 with scorm 1.2 captivate 6.1 export in moodle 2.5

Hi
I am working for a large commercial company where we have IE8 and a moodle 2.5, i am exporting multible scorm 2.1 packages from captivate 6.1, the issue i am having is that the scorm content loads fine, then it gets too a screen that says loading, it then just sits there, we have waited hours and it never loads, the scorm package is flash based no HTML5 as this does not work with IE8, we have tried lots of different settings i have even removed the swf from the scorm package after export, replaced with an image, and updated the IMS manifest, this worked with no problems when re-zipped and uploaded, which makes me think its the swf file.
We have all the right flash plugins and can play a uploaded SWF with no issues, so i believe it is to do with the swf in the scorm package and how it calls on the appropriate plugins to run.
my question really is has anybody found themselves in the same situation, i cannot update IE8 to a newer version as this is a site wide company policy.
i have been through lots of threads that sound similar to the issue i have had but none had resolved.
hopefully
somebody can help me.
Kind Regards
Craig Sumner

NNot tried it on scorm cloud but when it's ran on a machine from a different moodle instance and IE 10 works fine, we ran the scorm debug page on the machine as we access the scorm content on IE8 & everything loads psnd runs fine on the scorm

Do a basic call in as2 with scorm 2004 using flash template
