Access to Captivate 3 Scoring data in Flash CS3 - how to...

Oct 8, 2008 3:51 PM

Hi, I'm currently working on a project where the customer wants a shell/interface made in Flash, where 4 Captivate excercises and one final Assesment are launched within (the captivate swf are loaded into a movieclip container within the flash solution. But I need to be able to access the assesment object/data from flash, so I can display it in Flash and send it to the LMS.

By tracing/debugging from flash I have found where the data is, but I am wondering if there is an API for developers in Flash, Lectora or other learning tools to use.

Please give me some suggestions on how to make this work the best way.

Thanks for the help (hopefully :-) )

    Unfortunately, there is no documented API for working with Captivate files, especially for those looking to embed Captivate files directly into a custom wrapper.

    There are known internal variables you can access, but those are primarily limited to navigation and such. A good list can be found here:

    Link to List of Published and Unpublished Variables

    For a peek into the internal scoring routines, you might want to take a look at the Actionscript files Captivate uses, which can be found in:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3\ActionScript\AdobeCaptivate

    Beyond that, you're already much farther ahead than most.

    Best of luck,
    John

    Glad you were able to figure out a solution that works for you.

    The official Captivate Wish List/Bug Reporting Form can be found here:

    Link to Captivate Wish List/Bug Reporting Form

    I know the developers are hard at work on the beta version of Captivate 4, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for the next version, but past experience has shown that they *do* monitor issues submitted via the form so your request is likely to at least be considered at some point.

    Cheers,
    John
