Flash... downloadable?
December 2, 2008 12:00 AM
I've gotten myself into a pickle. I just started using Adobe Captivate last week (the latest version), and today I finished a mandatory training that has to be delivered on Monday. It is a flash video file (V7) that communicates quiz results and completions status via AICC to our LMS, Learn.com (X).I decided to skip trying to pull the video into Lectora since that sounded complicated. I wrote the AICC files so the video would play as a standalone flash file. With a little trial and error, it works GREAT. No problems reporting, no problems opening... 100% a-okay.HOWEVER... when I went to IS for approval, they said, "absolutely no streaming video." Apparently our networks can't handle the bandwidth. If I am to deliver this file, I have to find a way to make it download to the user's hard drive (buffering not allowed either). I am determined that I am not going to re-write this training to be a standard WBT. Does anyone have any ideas for me? If I somehow force the flash file to download and play from the user's desktop, from the temp folder, how does that affect reporting to the LMS (my guess is that it wouldn't work)?
