I just saw something interesting I thought I’d pass along. In the new HTML 5 proposal, the strong element is being modified to represent “importance rather than strong emphasis.” The WHATWG gives the following example: <strong>Warning.</strong> This dungeon is dangerous. <strong>
I just finished an ActionScript 2.0 class file meant to be a companion to my JavaScript SCORM API wrapper. Update: AS3 version now available, too. Simplified syntax The idea was simple: give me (and others) a way to make SCORM calls using ExternalInterface without having to constantly type ExternalInterface!
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. return String(value); This all-in-one wrapper has now been tested successfully
Some small edits to the wrapper: 1. Fixed a few typos in debug statements 2. 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.
