Update to SCORM Wrapper
Made a minor update: scorm.quit() was setting a value (cmi.exit) but not invoking scorm.save() (aka Commit()) prior to termination.

SCORM Wrapper updated for improved Plateau support
The pipwerks SCORM Wrapper has been updated with a small patch for handling odd behavior in the Plateau LMS. Special thanks to Joe Venditti for the patch (and sorry for taking almost 2 years to add it to the codebase!). Get the latest version here. Comments Bobby wrote on August 10, 2011 at 7:31 am: Thanks for the update Philip! I test my content outside of a LMS environment. In that case, the code you've introduce causes a javascript error since win.top.opener is null. To combat this, I check for win.top.opener before checking for win.top.opener.document. I'm not sure this is worth adding, as I realize I'm in a unique situation. Just thought I would share my findings. Thanks again! philip wrote on August 10, 2011…
CaptivateController updated
The CaptivateController has been updated to fix the gotoSlideAndPlay and gotoSlideAndStop bugs.
SCORM API Wrapper updated to auto-handle exit and status
The SCORM API wrapper (v1.1.7) has been updated to automatically set the initial course status and the exit status.
The point of my SCORM API wrapper is to make working with SCORM easier. These two new functions are intended to ensure you follow best practices with your SCORM code while reducing the amount of tedious code you will need to write for your course.
SCORM JavaScript wrapper updates
A summary of updates regarding the pipwerks JavaScript SCORM wrapper.
SCORM JavaScript wrapper updated to 1.1.4
By popular demand, the SCORM API Wrapper for JavaScript has a new feature: the ability to specify what version of the SCORM API should be used.
Also, I converted the AS2 demonstration FLA to Flash 8 format and posted it as a separate ZIP file.
SCORM wrapper examples tested successfully in SumTotal TotalLMS 7.6
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 the examples, I suggest you download the updated versions to get the newer manifests. Of course, if you’re a pro at manifests (Aaron?), you could always make better ones… making the imsmanifest is my least favorite part of working with SCORM. As always, if you test these in your LMS, please let me know — even if it doesn’t work! Thanks 🙂
SCORM wrapper updates (JavaScript and ActionScript)
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.
SCORM API Wrapper updated to 1.1.2
Two small but important edits.
SCORM API Wrapper updated to 1.1.1
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.
