Really simple SCORM AS3 wrapper example
Here’s a simple example of how the SCORM AS3 class can be utilized. (This example uses SCORM 2004 calls.)
import pipwerks.SCORM;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
//Declare variables
var success:Boolean = false,
completion_status:String;
//Initialize a new SCORM object!
var scorm:SCORM = new SCORM();
//Initialize SCORM connection
success = scorm.connect();
//If connection attempt was successful
if(success){
//Get completion status
completion_status = scorm.get("cmi.completion_status");
//If course has already been completed
if(completion_status == "passed" || completion_status == "completed"){
//Disconnect from the LMS.
scorm.disconnect();
} else {
//Set course status to incomplete
success = scorm.set("cmi.completion_status", "completed");
if(success){
success = scorm.disconnect();
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
}
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
function serverUnresponsive():void {
var msg:String = "Sorry, can't connect to server. Please try again later.";
trace(msg);
ExternalInterface.call("alert", msg);
}Here’s a slightly more fleshed out example. (This example uses SCORM 2004 calls.)
import pipwerks.SCORM;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
//Declare variables
var success:Boolean = false,
completion_status:String,
learner_name:String,
bookmark:String;
//Initialize a new SCORM object!
var scorm:SCORM = new SCORM();
//Initialize SCORM connection
success = scorm.connect();
//If connection attempt was successful
if(success){
//Get completion status
completion_status = scorm.get("cmi.completion_status");
//If course has already been completed
if(completion_status == "passed" || completion_status == "completed"){
//Disconnect from the LMS.
scorm.disconnect();
} else {
//Set course status to incomplete
success = scorm.set("cmi.completion_status", "incomplete");
// --- Set other SCORM settings as needed -----
if(success){ success = scorm.set("cmi.score.min", "0"); }
if(success){ success = scorm.set("cmi.score.max", "100"); }
if(success){
scorm.save();
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
//You can get data from LMS using the following syntax
learner_name = scorm.get("cmi.learner_name");
bookmark = scorm.get("cmi.location");
if(bookmark != null && bookmark != ""){
//Use bookmark
} else {
//Start from beginning
success = scorm.set("cmi.location", "page1");
if(success){
scorm.save();
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
}
//Do other course stuff as needed...
//End course
var score:int = 80;
finishCourse(score);
}
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
function finishCourse(score:int):void {
//Score must be converted to a string before it can be passed to LMS
var success:Boolean = scorm.set("cmi.score.raw", String(score) );
if(success){ success = scorm.set("cmi.completion_status", "completed"); }
if(success){
success = scorm.disconnect();
} else {
serverUnresponsive();
}
}
function serverUnresponsive():void {
var msg:String = "Sorry, can't connect to server. Please try again later.";
trace(msg);
ExternalInterface.call("alert", msg);
}

[...] stuff on this blog, and now I start to make good on that promise. And no, this is not as clever as Philip Hutchinson’s SCORM Class(es), but give me a break! ActionScript 3 is kinda hard when you don’t touch Flash [...]
