Question

How can I use API.LMSCommit(”); to check LMS connection?

Hi all,

I want to find a way to use an API.LMSCommit('') call to let my modules check to see that they are still connected to the LMS.

If it is a false boolean then it calls myAlert function to pop up a message to tell the learner they need to reconnect.

Is this the right way to do this? or is there a way to do this already in Captivate 8?

var checked = API.LMSCommit()

if (checked == true){

//do nothing;}

if(checked == false){

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

ExternalInterface.call("myAlert");

}

Cheers

Luke

    Further to the above,

    I did find a function in the scormdriver.js that comes with 8 and I figured that already has a call to commit.

    So I am trying this in AS3

    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    var checked = ExternalInterface.call.("SCORM_CallLMSCommit")

    if(checked == "SCORM_FALSE"){

    ExternalInterface.call("myAlert");

    }

    First question, even if you alert that is not connected, how is the learner going to reconnect?

    The SCORM_CallLMSCommit will actually return "false" as that is the default value of SCORM_FALSE. Plus the function returns either true or false as a Boolean.

    So you could just say:

    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    var checked:Boolean = ExternalInterface.call.("SCORM_CallLMSCommit")

    if( !checked ){

    ExternalInterface.call("myAlert");

    }

    Thanks TLC,

    I have added a function that changes the users browser and throws up a warning (blinking) to tell the learner that they need to log in again to complete the learning.

    Thanks for the above code, I'll try it out and see what happens
