I'm a developer of Web-based training programs, and often have a requirement
that they be SCORM compliant. At the last company I worked for, we used Saba
Publisher to "wrap up" all the flash content and generate the manifest,
metadata and communication scripts for the LMS. Is there anything else that
does a better job of this for the money? I looked at Authorware and was
underwhelmed at first sight.

The best one i used to use was the university of readings made one, although
work was stopped when money ran out at version 1.2

I am hearing good noises about Metadata Generator Pro 3.0,

Although to be honest your best bet is on the ADL forum, very helpful people
there, you might find another free editor instead.

Hope that helped, Ade
