Is this possible in Captivate 3?...

I have Macromedia Captivate 1.0, and it does not have what it takes. I was wondering if upgrading to Captivate 3 would solve the problem. Here's what I would do...

I need to have a screen of 'menu' which would have, say, three "tasks" to complete. The user would choose a 'task' and while they could watch a demo on this subject, or they could try in "test mode". If they pass it in "test" mode (by clicking in all the correct places), then Captivate will somehow it tick (or put a check mark next to it) or something on the main menu with the three tasks. Once all three tasks have been "marked" in Test Mode, then Captivate will pass a variable 'complete' the LMS via SCORM compliance...

Is this possible with the last Captivate? Or other tools would be needed to achieve this? If Captivate 3 alone can handle this, it is a relatively painless process? Thank you!!!

As long as initialize you the SCORM API and the report by using the correct calls, I think not that SCORM care about what was going on within the SCO, once it is launched.

If you are not interested in the follow-up to the notes of the user and I just want simple, at least you should try scoring mechanism internal to debone Captivate. This assumes that you have correctly configured the LMS to only expect a notification of the completion of each SCO.

The only way to add custom in Captivate features is to insert as a standalone Flash movie, so you can easily insert a Flash movie on the last slide that will solve your global flag 'complete' for the checkmarks. Identifying uniquely each file to know what box to show could be a stumbling block, but a global variable in your menu would probably take care of that.

By the way the finished flag back to the LMS seems to be the hardest part. Either you have to build your own full SCORM wrapper or patch in which Captivate provides when you publish on SCORM.

If you choose to piggyback on the feature of Captivate, pore through Captivate scorm_support.js file and I hope to be able to determine Javascript variables/functions to change.

In A2, the file is located in:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Templates\Publish\SCORM_support\scorm_support.js

Good luck!
