Hi and great tool!

I am trying to 'fake' custom flash animations as feedback to questons. I see that I can insert an image, so I guess as a last resort I can use an animated gif... but I really want to use flash. Has anyone sucuessfully embeded a swf file <strong>inside the queston feedback popups</strong>? I am thinking yes, but am not sure what the relative path would be.

That being said...

...I understand that there is not a real established way to have CourseLab and Flash communicating to each other. I also understand that, while there IS a way to control the talking head object on, say question submition, I can not creat my own character (wtf?!) and and control it via the CourseLab api. Oh how sweet that would be, eh?

in case this is helpful for anyone else, i did solve it. I followed the advice in the thread <i>dependent flash files</i> and simply placed the .swf files in a folder called <strong>user</strong> on the same level as the module images folder.

I used the EMBED tag and the src was user/your_file_here.swf

Hi Baden
Are you using the Macromedia/Adobe Flash SCORM API within your flash insertion??. It might be a bit messy on the message passing front but then in theory the flash component could also pass data to a C/LMS. I don't see any obvious reason the two message streams couldn't both co-exist.

This would raise the possibility of having functional flash content within the module itself.

...well I am almost there. I have inserted the following code into the question > properties > feedback text editor (in html edit mode, of course):
[code]
<EMBED src="C:\bowtwist.swf" width=320 height=240 wmode="transparent">
[/code]
and it <i>does</i> work in the slide preview... but when I publish it in the SCORM 2004 pack and view it in SLK... no-go. I am now wondering if this needs to be manually inserted into the 'user' folder as touched upon in a previous thread. Any ideas?

Grrr... that code part was:
<EMBED src="C:\bowtwist.swf" width=320 height=240 wmode="transparent">
