flash data integration: I'm sorry this is a question from a server ignoramus, so please be kind:
I've previously captured user input using a combination of cfml and text
files. That was way back in 2002 and using AS 1.0. I'm now working in an
environment where the server guy won't put any scripts on, and I mean none, no
PHP, no ASP, no CFML, nothing. Would anyone know if there is a way of
capturing user input without using a script, please? This prolly shows a
really basic lack of understanding of how servers work but I'm a bit desperate.
I know the Flash Learning Interactions can work with SCORM and pop results
into LMSs that use SCORM and our LMS does use SCORM, but it seems to only be
within the learning interactions and I don't know where to start to tailor this
for the input I need to capture.
Any assistance with this would be most welcome.

Thank you vey much,
Beatie

You cannot permanently store data from Flash without connecting to a server
script.

Essentially Flash now becomes lame for any dynamic eLearning application.

The "server guy" is not providing a server service then. If it is a web
hosting service, get another one. If it is internal you will probably need to
deal with the management.

Thank you for replying. I was a little unclear, the LMS does run SCORM and it
works fine, but I in Flash you can only export all the SCORM files
automatically if you use one of the learning interactions/quiz templates. So
I'm taking a crash course in SCORM which isn't looking too hard and should be a
very useful thing to know when it's the only way we can capture data on our
server. I've found a blog that has some very helpful information along these
lines others with the same problem might find useful:
