flash data integration: I have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA
Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically
returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is
supposed to be able to receive data from Flash. I am not experienced in this
type of programming, can anyone point me in the right direction on either how
to accomplish this or where to find the information on how to do it????

Generally if SABA folks claim Flash can receive data from their product they
should have some documentation on the data communication technology used.

For example does SABA communicate via Web Browser and Javascript?

Can Flash can directly communicate with the server application using standard
MIME format application/x-www-form-urlencoded (a standard format used by CGI
scripts). Then you look at
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002329.html. If they let Flash
use XML then look at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002872.html.
In either case there will names of scripts.

But then they may require use of web services.

So you need to do research on the SABA site and get details to get direction
here.

Thanks, Lon. Saba has really poor documentation. I have a call in to them for
support and they are "researching." According to their on-line help, Saba
accepts external HTML objects (ASP, JSP, and PHP scripts). So, I am guessing I
need to know how to write the code in Flash to write data to a PHP file???
Would something like this on a button at the end of the simulation work?

on(release) {
myPHPvalue = 1;
sendmyPHPvalue toConfigFile;
}
with something somewhat like this in the Saba file

var myPHPvalue = "";
myPHPvalue = getmyPHPvalueFromConfigFile;
if(myPHPvalue = 1){
show nextBtn;
{
