Question

Captivate 2 Projects don't LMSInitialize()

Sitting here with Pathlore 6.5's trace window open, trying to get a quiz built in CP2 to work. Captivate seems all too eager to send LMSCommit and LMSFinish when tracking as SCORM 1.2, but LMSInitialize is never called.

1.) Why is that?

2.) When is it being fixed?

3.) If Adobe is really struggling with a 6 year old SCORM standard I have an AS2 class I'll gladly give to them that handles it clean.

An official response to this now known issue would be appreciated.

ADL have a fix ofr this which adds two .js files and a few lines of code to the SCORM.html file.

I have tried posting this fix but get an error message from the forum software (doesn't like a word or phrase, no idea why).

Contact me at duncan at persuasive.co.za and I'll forward the ADL fix.

Hi Andrew,

I have the same problem.

I have read your articles (many thanks) and put the alert(g_objAPI); line in and get an alert which says org.adl.testsuite.rte.sco.SCORTEDriver[panel2,0,0,1x1,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout]

I have no idea what this means.

I have successfully tested the SCO on Test Track, but on the client LMS (CUDA) and on the ADL Test Suite it gives me:

Loading the Sharable Content Object
Attempting to Launch SCO:
file:///C:\Data\Client\Course\Reports\Lessons\DM4\Daily Meeting Reports 4 Lesson.htm

ERROR: Time out exceeded
ERROR: LMSInitialize() never invoked
ERROR: Sharable Content Object is Non-Conformant

Any help appreciated.
