Custom Flash AICC/LMS communication.

[chewyMID]

I'm looking for any documentation/help that might relate to AICC/LMS communication through actionscript/built in Articulate functions.

We are looking at building a game in flash that will work almost like a quizmaker game (this will communicate with Articulate to send out functions via Articulate to the LMS), we intend to send a pass/fail/score to the LMS to track the users progress. Anybody out there ever done any of this or know of a place that I could look for help?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance!

You need to look up "AICC and actionscript" in Google to find the script that will interact with your LMS via AICC. I suggest starting here: AICC Forum - Pls help on AICC https-http communication in Flash

Also, Articulate's AICC/SCORM code is done by a third-party. I'm not sure Articulate wants people going to them directly but you can ask.

BTW, does your LMS company provide any documentation? Our's (Saba) used to provide an excellent documentation for developers to follow in the previous version (3.5). However, strangley, they do not have anything like it for the current versions (5.x).

Sometimes the LMS may have curious AICC or SCORM "wrinkles" so it is almost better to check out their documentation.

Thanks for the links beeneeb and gazzzz I'll check them out and see if they help resolve this problem. GerryWaz I'm not sure off hand what LMS we are going with yet, the client may have their own or they may need one, i'm going to pick through a few LMS's to see what works.

Thanks for all the help guys!
