Question

Reporting Pass/Fail from embedded .SWF

Captivate 4

Flash CS4

ActionScript 2.0

SCORM 1.2 & 2004

Okay,  so here's the deal...

I created a quiz in Flash CS4 because it was much more customizable than the Captivate Quiz template...  Not to mention that the Captivate one is so extremely buggy.  In any event... My client said, when I started this, that there was no LMS to integrate with - that it would be a standalone.  Well that has changed, turns out they have an LMS.  Good news is that I only need to report a pass/fail...

So let's get cracking.  I need help on how to do this - either the long way, and writing my own SCORM wrapper, etc - or, if there's a better way, for me to pass a variable from my embedded Quiz .swf to Captivate... then perhaps Captivate will pass this along to the LMS if I publish it with SCORM compliance...  I'm really hoping there should be a super easy way to do this.  My embedded .swf quiz of 20 questions is currently coded to keep track of the number they are getting correct - then if I create a variable called say var Pass_Fail = 0, and then once they pass the course with the required number I can change that to a 1, and then pass it on to Captivate.  Anyone see this as a possibility??

I guess I'm looking to understand HOW captivate passes a Pass/Fail to an LMS using SCORM, if I can trigger this from within my embedded .swf then all will be well

Thank you!
