Score variables to PHP?

I was wondering how the score and question tracking variables
where named in Captivate. I am trying tpo capture them with the
POST methods and then save the scores in a MySQL database. I can do
it with Flash because I know what the variables are named, but I am
not sure how Captivate names the variables.

From the Captivate help file
Controlling Adobe Captivate projects with variables
You can control Adobe Captivate projects with variables that
you can set
on the Timeline. Controlling a project with variables is
useful if you
want to create custom SWF playback control or if you are
putting a
project into a Flash FLA file.
Using variables is an advanced feature that should be
implemented only
by users with a solid background in Flash.
To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix
cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables.
The following commands are used by playback controls and
preview:
rdcmndPrevious
set to 1 to go previous slide
rdcmndNextSlide
set to 1 to go to next slide
rdcmndPause
set to 1 to pause the project
rdcmndResume
set to 1 to resume showing a paused project
rdcmndRewindAndStop
set to 1 to rewind and stop the project
rdcmndRewindAndPlay
rset to 1 to rewind and play the project
rdcmndGotoFrame|
go to a specific frame
rdcmndExit
set to 1 to exit
rdcmndInfo
display the information window
The following variables provide information currently used by
playback
controls and preview:
rdinfoFrameCount
total number of swf frames in the project (this is not the
number of
frames in the main Timeline, but the sum of all slide frames)
rdinfoSlidesInProject
number of slides in the project (including hidden slides)
rdinfoCurrentFrame
current frame (goes from 1 to rdinfoFrameCount when you play
the project)
rdinfoCurrentSlide
slide currently playing (zero based)
rdinfoSlideCount
number of slides in the project (not including hidden slides)
rdIsMainMovie
can be used to identify whether the SWF corresponds to the
main Adobe

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.

Is it possible to load and send variables to php at the same time?

Hello, with this line:
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET; you can receive
variables from php.
and with request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST you can send
variables.
But is it possible to do this simultaniously ?

they both send and receive data sequentially. ie, data is
sent (if there is any) and then data is received (if there is
any).

CF variable to PHP script

Situation:
My main site is coded in CF. My forum is coded in php. I am
in the process of creating a single uniform log in and don't want
to pass the log in information retrieved by CF via URL. I know
passing by session is out the picture, and I'm not trying to repost
by form, so I was thinking about using a cookie to store the
infomation and then destroying it after log in.
Question:
What is the safest way to pass a cf variable to php?

All the data is on the same database, just that one set of
tables I created myself and the other set was created dynamically
by the forum's set up script.
So far I pull the members info for log in on the primary site
(via email & password). In doing so, I pull the members
username (not id as previously mentioned), and now need to use the
stored username and password to log into the forum.
Just saw your responce Dan, I'll give that a try. Thanks. And
you too Mike.

Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP - show variable from PHP in app

I have searched for hours and I can't figure this out…
Is there a way to somehow "echo" my PHP code in my MXML file ?
I know you can't echo something from PHP to MXML, so here's what I have done :
I get my informations from my database, I need to show an image and its title, so I put the following code in a variable :
<mx:Image id="laniraBlanche" x="25" y="65" width="210" height="126" source="'.$row->image_mini.'" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" rollOut="outPicture()" /> <s:Label x="25" y="155.85" text="'.$row->nom.'" width="210" textAlign="center" height="37" fontSize="19" backgroundColor="#676666" verticalAlign="middle" fontFamily="Georgia" color="#FFFFFF" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" id="laniraBlancheTxt" rollOut="outPicture()" />'
Then, I return that variable.
I find the function where my var created is returned from the "Data/Service" tab, I am on Design mode on Flash Builder, and I "drop" my function where I want my image and text to show on my app.
I tryed dropping it in a "group", it doesn't show anything. I tryed several other options, and nothing worked.
So my question is, how could I have this code created in PHP show on my application ?
Thank you for your help

I also have Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and the ANT view does not show when going to Window -> Show View --> Other. I could not find it in any of the folders.
However, I was able to add it by hitting Command 3 (CTRL 3 on PC) and typing Ant.

Passing variable from php into flash, help please

Here are what I'm having:
<?PHP
$testVal = "This is a test";
$test = urlencode($testVal);
$out = "test=". $testVal;
echo $out;
?>
// and this is my flash file
function getData() {
// Prepare request
var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
urlReq.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(urlReq);
function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
var vars:URLVariables = URLVariables(evt.target.data);
trace(" TEST = ", vars.test);
trace(" TEST = ", unescape(vars.toString()));
// and below is the ouput
TEST = undefined
TEST = test=This is a test
I've tried with several different ways to get ONLY the value of the variable - that means I only want to have "This is a test" returned, but I either got "undefined" or the whole thing "test=This is a test", instead.
I'm new to Flash and PHP. Please help.
Thanks

There's no need to write any fake variables out, Flash does not need that. OK, here's a simple PHP script like yours - I called it test.php
<?PHP
     $testVal = "This is a test";
     $out = "test=". $testVal;
     echo $out;
?>
And the AS to call it:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/test.php"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded, false, 0, true);
function dataLoaded(e:Event){
    trace( e.target.data.test);
You will see 'This is a test' traced to the output window.

Cannot pass variables from PHP to actionscript 3.0

I am using CS3 and I write the following code as to pass variable to flash from PHP
Actionscript
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/moodle/value.php");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);
var myValue: String;
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{
          var myvariable: URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
          myValue = myvariable.values;
                  trace(myValue);
PHP file
<?php
   echo ('values = 8');
?>
But I always get the error and cannot get the values by using trace();
Before i try to use "myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" I still get the same error.
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs
          at Error$/throwError()
          at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
          at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit()
          at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
Can anyone help me?

The error is fixed.The new version is like that
Actionscript
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/moodle/value.php");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);
var myValue: String;
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{
          var myvariable: URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
          myValue = myvariable.values;
                  trace(myValue);
php file
<?php
   echo "values=8";
?>
The output finally is "null" in flash file. Why does it happen? It should give me 8 when I input trace(myValue);

Oracle text & xpath / binding variables in php

Hello,
I am using Oracle 10g XE.
Here is the php code for which I have a problem :
$stmt=oci_parse($con, "SELECT NRSS FROM XNRSS WHERE CONTAINS(NRSS, '(HASPATH(/nrss/channel/item/identifier[@assetId=:ASSETID]))')>0");
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ":ASSETID", $i)) echo "erreur";
This code does not work and I think the reason is that I don't use correctly the variable :ASSETID inside the xpath '(HASPATH(/nrss/channel/item/identifier[@assetId=:ASSETID]))'
How should I use the variable ?
Thanks for your help
Eve

HASPATH and INPATH are not part of XML DB. They offer XPATH like search capabilities based on text indexes.
The XDB way would be
existsNode(NRSS, '/nrss/channel/item/identifier[@assetId=' || :ASSETID || '])')>0";

How to generate a random session variable in php

i want to generate a random session variable and insert the variable in a mysql record to use later to validate an account set up.
person fills out form to create account and submits; inserts form information in mysql record.
i want the random variable to be inserted from a hidden field and the page sends an email with a link to click on to compare the variable to validate the user.
Not sure how to generate a random session variable and get that to the hidden field value to be inserted with the other form information.
thanks for your help,
Jim Balthrop

To insert the key I would personally do something like...
$key = md5($username . $password . $salt);
Insert that into your MySQL database, then send them a email with it, my next code shows how to activate it.
This is to activate the account.
<?php
$key;
$errors = array();
if(isset($_GET['key']){
     $key = $_GET['key'];
     $sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE key = \'' . $key '\' LIMIT 1';
     $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
     if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
          $sql2 = 'UPDATE users SET active = 1 WHERE key = \'' . $key '\' LIMIT 1';
          $result2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die(mysql_error());
          if($result2){
               //successfully activated account
          else{
               //Something Went Wrong!
     else{
          $errors[] = 'Invaild Key, Please try again!';
else{
     $errors[] = 'Invaild Key, Please try again!';
?>

Creating a session variable with PHP

Can anyone offer me a PHP script that creates a session
variable? The Dreamweaver CS3 Help documentation offers coding
samples for ColdFusion and ASP but not for PHP. I tried this
without success:
"$_SESSION['usermail']= $_POST['sub_email'];" in which I am
trying to capture an email address from a form and save it to use
in a confirmation email to a new subscriber. Any help would be
sincerely appreciated.
[email protected]

I use this -
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
?>
at the top of the page, and then this within the code block
where you are
processing the form's data -
$_SESSION['usermail']= $_POST['sub_email'];

Use swf to add to captivate score variable

Hi,
Challenge: I'm trying to add to / update the quiz score in captivate from a swf. My swf is added on a blank slide in a captivate quiz using Insert>Animation.
What I've Tried: In my flash/swf file I have a button with the AS2 code (I could change to AS3 if the solution needed it):
on (press) {
_root.cpQuizInfoPointsscored = 100;}
The swf also contains a text field set to the variable _root.cpQuizInfoPointsscored
My results so far: When I publish the captivate project, the button in my swf file works, and the variable text field is updated to read '100'. However when I get to the captivate score page the score from my swf is not included.
I would really appreciate any help or advice on this problem. Thanks in advance.
Experience: I'm a captivate newbie and have had a bit of experience with Flash.

Hello,
I'm not at all a Flash-expert but played a lot with variables and advanced actions in Captivate. As far as I know (and I had some confirmation from the Adobe people) you cannot change the cpQuizInfoPointsScored variable that can be transferred using SCORM (and that is also the one displayed in the score slide). You can of course change a user variable, but not this system variable. And this is valid for CP4 and CP5 (you did not mention the version you are using - but since you are talking about AS2 I presume CP4). What could be possible is to create a Question widget instead of an animation, because widgets can communicate with Captivate and the score attached to a Question widget will be taken into account for the total score.
