Integrating Flash into an LMS

Does anyone know of a Learning Management System that allows
your Flash content to call other files in different folders? My
problem is that we use the first SWF as a timeline that calls other
SWFs as needed. The timeline SWF is stored in a folder titled Annex
E and it makes calls to SWFs stored in folders titled LESSONS,
COMMON, SLIDES and GRAPHICS. We do this to keep our overall file
sizes smaller and so that varies lessons can share material they
have in common.
We currently use CENTRA as our LMS but Centra will not allow
the timeline SWF to make calls to other folders. All calls must be
made to files in the same folder as the timeline folder. I'd like
to find a way of keeping my current content structure because it
works very well for what we do.
Thanks.

Your LMS is probablly not going to allow calls to other
folders due to constrictions in SCORM and other systems, I do
believe. I am just now trying to work out SCORM compliant flash
eLearning. SCORM output is supported in Flash but SCORM itself has
a lot of restrictions on how Flash communicates with the LMS and I
think one of these issues is that everything has to be in the same
folder. I could be wrong. I have not found any solid books or
articles on Flash as an LMS tool yet that really gets into putting
Flash through its paces when it comes to LMS (and SCORM)
development and for one thing, I can see a lot of problems with
both SCORM as a standard and FLASH as a SCORM compliant tool.
Captivate is a little bit better as a SCORM tool, but Captivate
does not import sever video streams as does Flash 8 which is
something I want to use in training and nor will Flash 8 import
anything whatsoever that has to do with Captivate and vice versa
(already complained on that one- in the Why the hell did I upgrade
to Flash 8 for posting).
The short of it is, good luck on your folder problem because
my guess is you are going to need it. Not so much from the Flash
standpoint but the LMS standpoint.
Adobe better assign some people to this market segment pretty
darn fast because eLearning is now a multimillion dollar industry
and the SCORM people continue to make their demands and now we all
have to try and figure out how to make something work that was not
really designed all that well for each other. Right now I am trying
to pick apart a QUIZ template to pluck it down in my own timeline
(Common Library Learning Interactions alone are not quite what I am
looking for) without STARTING with the Quiz template movie.
The Quiz template is setup with all the code that goes into
the SCORM compliant HTML file, etc. But I dont want just a quiz
movie. I want to do all the training and then take a multipart quiz
in the same movie. For example 50 frames of training, and then the
last 20 frames as the Quiz (template). But the only thing I can
think of is to do two separate movies (one the training) that at
the end opens the next movie which is the Quiz template. As part of
the training I have a built in student journal that the student can
use to comment on reading assignments etc. And journal entries can
be stored on the students computer but I have not figured out how
the journal entry might be stored on the LMS server instead. Like I
said, Adobe is going to have to provide some training on how to use
their products in an LMS environment. The merger is nice and
wonderful but it is time to get these applications up to speed
(with each other and as stand alone applications) and get designers
up to speed on using them as serious eLearning tools. Waiting
another year for this is too long.

Integrating Flash into Dreamweaver

Hello All,
I am a newbie and just finished a Flash class. However we
didn't hardly talk at all about integrating Flash with Dreamweaver.
What I want to do is create an intro page that has Flash and
then you have to click on a Button to go into the main site. I
understand a little of Behaviors and Actionscripting so thought
that I would do the GetURL Behavior (going off memory here) to get
me from the Intro page to the main Dreamweaver site.
Question is... do I export an SWF file, put that in a
index.html page for the Intro page and then link to the main
Dreamweaver site but have the main site not an "Index" file but
another name...maybe main.html.
Is this what people do? Or do they take the generated .html
file from Flash (its published) and just use that as their intro.
Naming it index.html. And then linking to another *.html created
with Dreamweaver but that is not saved as index.html.
Also, how often are people doing a PURE Flash website and not
mixing the Flash and Dreamweaver together? Just curious.
Thanks for clarifying.
Computerkitten

Hmm... looks ok to me. You should be able to place it in a
folder without
problem. I'd try using SWFObject to put the Flash on the page
though - that
_might_ fix your problem. Odd one.

Integrating Flash Into Director

OK, here is the rundown:
I have three Flash 8 movies that I want to encapsulate in
Director 10.1.1
The movie1 is 725 frames long and is a standard movie.
After that, I want movie2 to load. Movie2 is an application
with it's own controls. I want Director to stop and let the
application run until the user selects the Exit button which loads
Movie3.
Movie3 is an exit screen with scrolling credits and
information. I want movie3 to continue playing until the user
clicks the Exit button there.
I have figured out how to get movie1 to play all the way
through and autoload into movie2 with a behavior script applied to
the first movie. I removed the stop() action at the end of movie1
and applied the following code:
on exitframe me
if sprite(me.spritenum).playing then
go to the frame
end if
end
This works fantastic, however movie2 and movie3 will not
hold. They play right through without stopping. I tried applying a
stop() action in the first frame of movie2 with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
**Edit**
Also, when I am importing the flash movies, should I use a
standard import or should I be selecting link to external
files?

OK, more digging and trying and I think that I've got it.
I just applied another behavior script to the second and
third movies:
on exitFrame
go to the frame
end
The playhead stops and allows the user to watch movie1 which
then jumps to movie2 and then movie3.
For some strange reason, though my link buttons from one
movie to the other (a skip button in movie1, and the exit button in
movie2 which links to movie3) stopped working. However, the exit
button in movie3 is working just fine...

Advice on integrating Flash and HTML

I have googled and researched this topic on the web.
Integrating Flash and HTML seems like a popular topic but much of
the information is dated (using FS commands or solutions based on
2000-2004 coding and/or hacks) I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3. I can use Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Here is my goal
I want to use a Flash navigation in the top third of my page
and have it control and load new HTML pages in the bottom two
thirds of the page. Some of these html pages use SPRY code but most
are simple HTML pages. I prefer Flash over CSS because I have more
control and predictability. What I have found so far is three
different solutions.
1.HTML Framesets. This seems like a really good idea but I
thought using framesets was a fading technique and should be
avoided. Is this true?
2. Using the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
Javascript and Actionscript. This also seemed like a good idea but
it is not clear to me how to implement. Do I combine this with
innerHTML or some type of AJAX technique.
3. Keep everything in Flash and load different swfs into main
Flash page. I like this idea the best and it would work for most
pages but I still like html pages when there is alot of text or I
want to use SPRY techniques.
When I have posted elsewhere I get references to articles
telling me why Flash is bad or framesets are bad or innerHTML is
not standard HTML. The only thing I am sure about is that most
people are pretty passionate about defending their own way of doing
things. I am hoping someone can provide some solid information
about what is possible and how to implement a solution.

It works when you put it online... :)1

Flash into forms

plz any one know how to import a flash into a form in oracle 10g

Gerd,
My question was about integrating Flash Technology in Oracle Forms.
I believe it's not possible without any additional install some dll's on a client machine or ActiveX controls ...
this is what needed
Add the 2 .dll files and IeEmbed.exe (from the javaflashbridge-v1.zip file) to your Windows/system32 directory --> this will require some additional software installed on a client -- > So every machine running Web Forms must be configured!!!
If you know how to do it please share your thoughts with this Forum.
Please do not just reply on how to add a Java Bean, because it's just too generic answer and does not add any value to this topic.
Regards,
Michael

Error While Uploading Captivate 6 Projects into Oracle LMS

Hello,
We have recently updated our Captivate software from Captivate 5 to Captivate 6. We are now experiencing issues when uploading our Captivate projects into our Oracle LMS. We are unable to upload newly developed courseware as a result, and have many critical learning initiatives with deadlines coming up within our organization.
We receive the following error when uploading published Captivate 6 files into our LMS:
Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element ‘appearance’ not expected.
The Log states: “The operation could not find a learning object with the external identifier: and external source: . A new learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word with id 2824 has been created.
The language en-US is not compatible for the learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word (id: 2824). The language will be set to American English.
The import process has failed: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element 'appearance' not expected.”
When contacting Oracle, they directed me to contact the vendor and inquire if they have resolved their UNIX issues and corrected the imsmanifest.xml creation piece of the tool. The Captivate 6 software on my PC is up to date with the newest patch installed, and I have tried publishing courses with different combinations of preferences and settings and none seem to resolve the issue.
Any insight as to what is causing this error or what can be done to correct it?
Thanks.

The error message makes me think the LMS is looking for an MS Word document included in your SCORM manifest file. Some LMSs are very strict about all files in the course needing to be listed in the imsmanifest.xml file.
Do you have a document in the package that the users need to read or that is linked in some way to your course content?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

CSS Help! Inserting flash into a div has caused layout change

Hi,
I am trying to insert flash into a div. I'm new to CSS so I
think I must be doing something wrong. As soon as I insert the
flash the layout goes wrong and all divs below it are pushed down
out of my "main" div. I've now taken the flash.swf out and inserted
an image again, but it's still wrong. It previews fine in the
browser though.
Any ideas!?

Integrating PHP into WAS

I had someone ask me the question about integrating PHP into WAS in order to embed PHP tags into a BSP page for example.
Now I personally don't see a lot of need for this but I wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Hi,
My initial thought would be typical stuff like:
- regex, but that should be solved in WebAs 7
- ascii code manipulation, like mentioned in /people/eddy.declercq/blog/2005/10/28/secretum-secretorum, but Christian Hansen mentioned that cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>uccpi( i ) will do the trick
So what's left?
- arrays, gosh I miss that a lot.
- proper file manipulation; when I need something, I always got to the OS
- real functions, FMs and (PER)FORMs are not as functional, certainly not when it comes to varibale scopes, etc
- graphics and simular stuff. It would be much easier if I could generate captchas (see also /people/eddy.declercq/blog/2005/09/13/die-mensch-maschine) directly in BSPs.

Embedding an interactive flash into Authorware

I want to embed a flash interactive into Authorware (see:
http://www.cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm
In the past I embedded a basic Flash animation into
Authorware and it seem to work ok. I'm not sure of more complex
ones i.e. that have interactive controls etc. I assume its not so
simple as to embed into authorware. Is it the case that it is
doable, but requires some configuration/programming? Or does it
work be simply embedding the complex interactive flash into
authorware?
thanks in advance

If the flash file id published for player version 6 (or
earlier) then
you can embed it using the Flash Asset Xtra, probably in the
same way as
you have before. If it is a later version you will need to
use the
Flash player ActiveX control.

Iweb; put FLASH into Idisk, only can see the FLASH when giving a password

I have a headache from it! I spent a lot of time making a website for my own company. I put flash into my site like the way Iwebunlimited do it: http://www.iwebunlimited.com/videotutorials/Entries/2008/4/4Flash_iniWeb.html
This works, but if people on other computers take a look on my website they can't see the FLASH, they have to put in a name and password. So my first page is only FLASh and they can't see anything..How can I resolve this? I'm pulling my hair out of my head..
Or is there an other way to put FLASH into Iweb?
Thank you already for maybe helping me...

Export svg sequence from Flash into Edge?

Hey there,
I'm really struggling to get a animation out of Flash into Edge as a frame by frame SVG sequence.
I've tried the Flash2SVG extension in multiple Flash versions and it doesn't work.
At the moment I'm doing this...
from Flash CS6 export FXG
import into Illustrator CS6
save as SVG
import in Edge
which is very time consuming and sometimes stuffs up positioning of elements in each frame.
Anyone got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

The latest Flash CC 2014 release has an export to SVG option, which exports the current frame as SVG. There is no direct way to export the entire animation as SVG sequence though.
You can find more details @ Flash Professional Help | New features summary

Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3

I am trying to build a VERY basic website in Dreamweaver. Using their single fixed column, centered,template, i would like to ad 2 flash items, a menu and small movie, in to he top of the column. (Both flash items are larger than the column with, if that matters,i was going to resizxe them nce i got this part of the cose correct)
For some reason the flash movie shows in my Dreamweaver preview, but not when i load it live online @ www.srg-buffalo.com.
The address i have used for the flash movie is: http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
The website is hosted at www.swq-buffalo.com, if you want to check out the source code.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, i thought it was pretty simple, there is no flash block via my go daddy host.
How i inserted it via dreamweaver cs3:
Insert> Media> Flash.
URL= http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you,
That rung a bell.
I uploaded both saved .SWF documents to the Scripts directory.
There was also a Scripts dirrectory saved with index.html, in this directory was the AC_RunActiveContent.js file,any thoughts on that?
i uploaded it to scripts,along witht he others, and the space dedicatd to the flash events is there, but they are not showing.

When you insert the SWF, you shouldn't have to actual type anything - it's a browse and select process and will automatically enter the correct path to the SWF. Then you have to upload the page and the SWF file. This next part I think has changed in later versions of DW, but in CS3 I'm pretty sure the process will also create a folder named Scripts. This folder along with it's contents also need to be uploaded.

How to get DEV Integration Server into Prod SLD?

Hello,
in a two-tier landscape I need to define transport targets in SLD. Both PI syetems have their own SLD. In each SLD there is just the Integration server of the corresponding PI system. How to get the DEV Integration Server into PROD sld? Manually?
Thanks,
CHRISTOPH

Hello Seshagiri,
that is what I wanted to know. So there seem to be two possibilities:
- Creating the DEV Integration Server in productive SLD manually
- Exporting the DEV Integration Server from DEV SLD and import it into productive SLD.
I tried importing / exporting SLD content some time ago. AFAIK there is no exporting single technical / business systems, you can just export all the content together from a SLD?
Thanks,
Christoph
