Variables from Adobe Captivate to flash

Hi tikiri,
You can access variables directly using the movie instance. Please check the code below, where we are printing the varCount variable.


on(release){
_root.play();

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movie", 999);
_root.movie._x=146;
_root.movie._y=12;
loadMovie("test/test.swf", _root.movie);
}

trace (_root.movie.varCount);


This code is specific for AS2 captivate swfs. You can try accessing any of captivate system variables also in this way:
_root.movie.rdcmndNextSlide = 1; // jumps to next slide
_root.movie.cpCmndMute = 1; // mute the audio
trace(_root.movie.cpInfoCurrentDate); // print the current date
_root.movie.rdInfoCurrentSlide = _root.movie.cpInfoLastVisitedSlide // jumps to last visited slide

Please go through the list of available variables in captivate documentation. All the variables starting from "rdcmnd" are legacy variables and exist in captivate 3 projects as well. Ones starting with "cp" are new and are not available prior to captivate 4. Accessing method remains the same for both cp3 and cp4 generated swfs.

For accessing variables in AS3 captivate movies:-


var movieLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var movieURL:String = "CA3_Demo.swf"
var movieURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL);
var cpMovie;

movieLdr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadComplete);
function loadComplete(ae:Event)
{
cpMovie = movieLdr.content;

//Pause the movie
cpMovie.rdcmndPause = 1;
//Resume the movie
cpMovie.rdcmndResume = 1;
//Jump to next slide
cpMovie.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
also try,
// print current date
trace(cpMovie.movie.cpInfoCurrentDate);
}
addChild(movieLdr);
movieLdr.load(movieURLReq);
