Flash and SCORM

When I checked my client's LMS, it looked that most of the SCOs were actually authored with Flash. This is particularly true with interactive content like exams and quizzes. The creators of Flash have provided decent Quiz templates and put some effort in order to get them working with the SCORM standard. Still, getting your quiz working with the LMS can be a pain, and googling for help does not yield very much.

Here's what I found:

• Alpha Engage has a nice "Getting started" example [1]
• Pipwerks has an overview how different flash versions handle ActionScript-JavaScript communication
• But, if you intend to use Flash learning interactions templates, forget direct interaction with the LMS. Macromedia provided a good introduction in 2002, named "Using Macromedia Flash MX learning interactions"
  

[1] ... they have a supercool Javascript + Flash navigation menu on their site too. Check it out! I wonder if the cool sliding effect would be possible with pure DHTML?

(Didn't look so cool in Firefox...)
