Import of variables in Captivate LMS

I want to recover the data from the LMS (Moodle) my Captivate class - capture the name of LMS students specifically, and display it in Captivate. I read a previous debate on that, but it ended without a definitive answer, that seemed.

Looks like that first the SCORM data in the variable must first be passed to a Flash embedded via javascript file and then sent to Captivate of Flash. A suggestion of the post hinted that this could be done without javascript step.

Anyone successful with this? And with SCORM 1.2 or 2004? I would be very happy to advice if someone has done this...

Variable SCORM (student's name)-> Javascript-> embedded Flash file-> Captivate displayed in...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Why sure... it works with Flash AS3, CP5.5 and Moodle as the LMS...

First, I created a small 10 x 10 px, flash file an image to import into Captivate (want to just ACE code to run, its hidden in a black neighborhood of my background in slide 1...)

In the framework, and then entered this code:

Get the name of the student of LMS, SCORM

to import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

try {}

Assigns a string name of the LMS student

var UserName:String is String (ExternalInterface.call("saveglobalscore",score) ('g_objAPI.LMSGetValue', 'cmi.core.student_name'));.

To separate the first and last name...

var LastName:String = UserName.slice (0, UserName.indexOf(","));

var FirstName:String = UserName.slice (Number (UserName.indexOf(",") + 2), UserName.length);

} catch(err:Error) {}

trace ("and not in an LMS at the moment");

}

Send name to Captivate

var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip (root);

var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip (myRoot.parent.root);

mainmov. Name = name;

Then, this flash file on slide 1 of my lesson of Captivate, where I display the first name value I get from Flash. You know, ' welcome, $$FIrstName$ $! Then when I start my lesson in Moodle name appears...

A nice quirk, it didn't worked at first - it seems that Moodle would begin the lesson of Captivate and the ACE in the Flash file to run at the same time, it would not disconnect the first name. So I put the animation Flash delay.5 seconds in the timeline, so the lesson of Captivate would begin, a short break, then the code YOU run and I got the name. And also, the area of text in Captivate with variable display of $$ $$FirstName must appear after the Flash code received the name of LMS, then I put delay 1 sec on the timeline.

It was there, I added nothing to the external .js file. Maybe this will help someone! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction...

  • Importation of PowerPoint in Captivate 9 text

    From what I've read all the text imported from PowerPoint to Captivate is imported as an image.

    I tried to change the text in the 'Edit in Microsoft PowerPoint', but it always ends with an error message or the plant or hanging - just really disappointed.

    Most of the content we use for e-Learning is available in PowerPoint format and looks like I have to Cut ' paste (via Notepad) text of hundreds of slides — unless one of you smart guys can think otherwise?

    Made me regret picking Captivate over the history

    The good news is your assertion is not entirely correct.

    The bad news is: text on the slides ARE the IMAGES AS IMPORTED, after being merged with the background and imported as a background SWF CP with timing as indicated in the Panel animation in PPT.

    Possible workaround:

    Elsewhere in these forums, I did on how to extract graphic elements of a PPT by conversion to a PPTx and rename a zip and navigate through the folders of messages. You will be rewarded with graphics, you can drag the library of Cp and animate at will.

  • Passage of variables in Captivate to Flash widget

    Hello

    I'm developing a widget progress bar simple in Flash to add a Captivate course that I build.  I think that what I want to do is very simple, but I seem to be missing something.

    Quick description:

    • I created a variable in Captivate 5.5 called intProgress , which should be a percentage of the student throughout the course. I set this manually via a tip Action entering the slide.
    • I also created a widget in Flash 5.5 progress bar.  It consists of nothing other than a manual progress bar in Flash component.
    • I want to feed this intProgress of Captivate my Flash widget value and accordingly update the progress bar.

    Here is my function (PDB is my progress bar)-

    function courseProgress (intPercentage)

    {

    aPb.setProgress (intPercentage, 100)

    }

    And here's how I'm trying to pass the variable:

    courseProgress (MovieClip .intProgress (root));

    It does not resemble the variable is coming in front of Captivate to the widget.  How to do this?

    Please let me know what I am doing wrong or what I'm missing here.

    Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

    Daniel



    I think that your problem is that you have this code in the cpSetValue() function which is called only once at the beginning of the film. If the variable cannot be read at the beginning of the film and is not updated for each slide.

    Try to add this code to your cpSetValue() function:

    addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateProgress);

    And to put this function outside of it:

    function updateProgress(e:Event):void

    {

    myText.text = "label:" + m_VariableHandle.cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel;

         myText.text = "prog:" + m_VariableHandle.intProgress;

    }

    Now the code above is not very effective. Basically it updates the text box with the variable for each frame of the movie. However, if it works, I'll go into details on how you can get it to update only when you enter into a slide.

  • Import of issues w / Captivate 4

    Hello

    I'm starting to have problems with importation of slides in Captivate 4
    projects.  The project that I am importing appears "clean".  The
    slides in the destination project fail when I import one or more in a white
    project.  This leads me to think that the source file is damaged, (even
    Although I work with an unedited master project) or my system (Win
    XP) is unstable.  I downloaded all updates of Captivate and even
    has run another installation.

    If you could tell me a solution for this, I would be grateful.

    Hello

    No, should be sufficient, have used CP4 intensively with 2 GB of RAM. Of course this also depends on the size of the files.

    Only other possibility is something corrupt: could be a slide or object. Only way to find the culprit is to create a new empty file and copy/paste slide by slide.

  • How can I return a variable to Captivate non-quiz to an LMS?

    Hello

    I created a reactive business project in Captivate 8. I added not questions quiz or interactions. As the result of a specific button click the user gets a "score". I want to return this score to Moodle. How can I tell Captivate to 'return' value?

    Thank you

    Peter

    There is no way to add a 'score' to a variable, sorry. You can have a variable with a number as a value, not a score. It will be never interpreted as a partition if you want to create a SCORM object. All objects that can have a score to send using SCORM or AICC can be found in the Advanced Interaction (F9) Panel, and you won't find any variables.

    As to transmit the value stored in a variable, as I mentioned earlier, this depends on the LMS. I've been sending variables to Blackboard, and they were visible, but not as a 'partition But I have no idea if Moodle will do the same. Quiz like cpQuizInfoPointsscored and cpInfoPercentage system variables are read-only. It should be possible if you use JavaScript I suppose, not with the built-in feature of Captivate

    Hope that clarifies the situation. I've been blogging on the reporting of custom questions, maybe you will find more details on what I tried to explain here:

  • Send variable cpQuizInfoAttempts of LMS

    Hello

    I have a dilemma with which I hope someone can help.

    Our LMS provider don't capture "number of attempts" to a quiz taken. We need to show the number of attempts for a test for regulatory purposes.

    Because course Captivate provides these data (variable cpQuizInfoAttempts) and updates, I'm looking for a way to convey this information to the LMS when the course is completed. Our supplier has indicated that they can build a work around if I can get the course to transmit these data.

    We used 5 Captivate and the course has the value infinite tent to pass the test - we just need an account of attempts how much they took.

    Alternatives to use capture these data via another method would be appreciated.

    Help me Adobe communities - you're my only hope!

    See you soon!

    Stu

    Ok.  So as far as I know, the only way to solve your problem would be with a custom programming to pass data to your course to the LMS in a format that the LMS would agree and PUT in its own database.  I can't help you with that. I'm sorry.

  • I would like to know how to import SCORM outings to Captivate?

    I received a release to a friend in a zip file, it is unclear what tool, it was generated, but he would like to get the output in Captivate so that it can be read on the iPad or iPhone.

    When I unzip the file, it has 3 files and 1 file:

    FlashFile.png

    1 content

    2 flash

    3 scripts

    4 file index.htm

    I can open the index.htm file in IE and it works fine and shows me a release of e-learning. My question is how to import all these Captivate content? Help, please.

    Captivate has no support for the import of this type of content.

    You need completely rebuild the Captivate content.

    You will need access to the audio and graphics files originals.  They may be imported into Captivate. But you will not be able to use the Flash assets because they are not compatible with the content of HTML5.

    Not (know it is not compatible). You can import files in the library (using the menu of the library or the import button), this is the case for most of the assets. You can also import directly on a slide, using the menu video, video to be inserted.

  • Import slides/objects in Captivate 5

    I just installed Captivate 5 on my Mac and can not for the life of find me a way to import slides/objects as I could in Captivate 4. I create tutorials for work and they are similar, except the bottom. I know its weird but we had sister 3 companies and the layout of the tools are the same, just the brand is different. So I used to just import the objects of a tutorial of 'master' in the other.

    Did I miss something or was this deleted option in Captivate 5?

    Hello JCHands,

    To change the property for multiple instances of an object, we use Object Styles. For Ex: To change boxes highlight in all the slides, you can use the object styles, if you change a property in the Style of the object manager, it will change in all cases. Please let me know if it works for you.
