Obtain score data from published C3 swfs

Question

I am working with courses built of swf files, including some
Captivate quizzes, running in a custom player and deployed on an
LMS running SCORM 1.2. I would like to access the scores from the
Captivate quizzes and incorporate them into an overall score, to be
submitted to the LMS through the player.
Does C3 allow way to access the score data from a published
swf? I am aware of the email intercept method for C2, which
requires a submit button, and this is not acceptable. The only
other way I can imagine for a C2 piece is hacking the LMS calls
from the Captivate pieces - not attractive.
Thank you in advance...

Answer 1

Captivate 3 does not allow access to score data. In SCORM,
any scoring logic, including cumulative scoring, is a function of
the LMS, so if your LMS doesn't do that, you are indeed reduced to
hacking your own solution.
The e-mail intercept is the most straightforward method, so
if that's not an option for you then your only hope is to either
try to hack into the SCORM communication (which seems the most
approachable, since that all happens in Javascript that is readily
viewable) or into the Flash variables Captivate uses to track
scores internally in a movie.
The latter option would require some fairly heavy Flash
coding experience and you'd be very much on your own trying to
figure that out. Some pointers might be found by perusing this
