I need to know if it is possible to redo a Director presentation to be SCORM
compliant. I have 4 pre-existing projects that were done in Director as
Computer Based Training CDs. Now the client would like them made into Web
Based Training. The trick is that he wants them SCORM compliant. I need help
figuring which direction to go. Can Director interface with and LMS? If so
what is the procedures involved? I have always known that Director can export
SWF files which I was planning on having a web developer build a shell around
to post on a website, but what I am curious about is does Director export the
XTRAs to? I use MediaPlayer Xtra to control the voice overs with cue points.
Will these still work? Any help anyone could be would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, in principal it works the same way as Flash; you'll need to have your
*.dcr files make calls to JavaScript functions in the hosting HTML that "talk"
to the LMS. A good thing to do would be to test your stuff on Rustici's Test
Track at scorm.com. Rustici makes the most compliant products there are IMHO,
so it's good to test there. But unfortunately there are several LMSs to deal
with, and they all behave differently no matter how SCROM compliant they say
they are.

Ok, that helps make sense. Can I from within Director communicate with
JavaScript? If the HTML file needs to know where a book mark is or something?
Does JavaScript communicate out and in from Director?

Did you read the link Irv provided you in the DOUG forum you also posted
this question to?

Yes, I read it and did not understand any of it. I have a company willing to
help me with the conversion to SCORM compliance, I just need to know how
Director uses JavaScript. The asked about 9quotd from them) "demonstrate the
ability to call out to JS, we can literally handle the rest. It's also worth
checking whether you can make calls only or actually make synchronous calls
that retrieve values. We can work in either scenario, but that's an important
distinction."
So I am trying to figure this aspect out.
