A bunch of news updates regarding the pipwerks JavaScript SCORM wrapper.

A number of people emailed me reporting problems using the demonstration files for the ActionScript 3 SCORM class. Turns out the imsmanifest.xml file was causing the problems; apparently, one of the supporting XML files was corrupt.

JavaScript SCORM_API_Wrapper.js now at v1.1.3. Includes important typo correction.

SCORM.as classes (AS2 & AS3) now at v1.01. Includes check for ExternalInterface availability and presence of required pipwerks JavaScript wrapper.

I just converted my AS2 SCORM class to AS3.
