SCORM wrapper examples tested successfully in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

The pipwerks SCORM wrapper examples have been successfully tested in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6.
FYI, the examples’ imsmanifest.xml files required some modifications (the old manifests worked fine in the ADL test suites, but coughed a little when used in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6). The JavaScript, ActionScript and HTML in the examples remain unchanged. If you’ve previously downloaded [...]

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.)

Flash demos for SCORM ActionScript classes now available

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Finally got around to making some Flash files that demonstrate the pipwerks SCORM ActionScript classes. I’ve created examples for both AS2 and AS3. You can get them here.

Both of these examples have been successfully tested using the latest ADL test suites for SCORM 1.2 and 2004.

New: SCORM API wrapper for ActionScript 2.0

Friday, January 25th, 2008

I just finished an ActionScript 2.0 class file meant to be a companion to my JavaScript SCORM API wrapper. It includes a bunch of type checking, type conversion, and error-checking, and works with both SCORM 1.2 and 2004.

SCORM API Wrapper updated to 1.1.1

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Found a small bug when using the wrapper with Flash (AS2): functions that return string values (such as SCORM.data.get()) were coming out ‘undefined’. (grr)

Explicitly typing the return value as a string seems to make Flash happy.

Fixed a few typos in debug statements
Added extra error-checking during SCORM.connection.initialize; if connection cannot be made AND no error code is given, display notice that server has not responded.
