Thanks for your guide and code Phillip. I used your scorm.as and javascript to run flash in a scorm package. I have adapted your sample file so scores are stored in the moodle gradebook, but I have not been able to export the session time from Flash to the gradebook.


//This is working:
if(success){
success = scorm.set("cmi.core.score.raw", myscore);
}

console("scorm.set('cmi.core.score.raw', myscore): " +success);

//But this is not:
if(success){
success = scorm.set("cmi.core.session_time",
course.session_time);
}

console("scorm.set('cmi.core.session_time',
course.session_time): " +success);

//I have a function which calculates hours, minutes,
//seconds since application started and this is fed
//to the variable course.session_time
course.session_time = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds;


Can you suggest anything?

Many thanks

hi steve

are you getting any error messages? when using cmi.core.session_time, the format must be exact. The SCORM RTE documentation states: "HHHH:MM:SS.SS" Hours must be a minimum of 2 digits. if your time string doesn't have two digits for hours, you will get an error message from the LMS (205: incorrect data type). this would be an easy error to run into, since if you've only done one hour, a straight number-to-string conversion would give you 1:00:00 rather than 01:00:00. does your function add the leading zero when necessary?

if your session format *does* meet the format rules (two-to-four digits for hours, two digits for minutes, two digits for seconds, and an optional two-digit decimal for partial seconds), perhaps there's some point in your code that tries to set cmi.core.session_time before your course.session_time variable has been properly set.
