Tracking User Progress
I have an elearning course that i am working on and im trying to find a way to track the user progress without using scorm.

The course opens to the menu screen with links to the chapters, when a user completes a section i want a check mark to indicate to the student that that chapter is complete, much like a simplified version of scorm tracking. i don't need the user to return to where they left off and i don't need to record scores.

The course is contained in a members section which the user would have had to log in to to access.The site is html, the only flash would be the course. im using php, mysql anf obviously flash. i dont want the user to have to log in again to the elearning piece itself, rather i would like to use the session information from from the users origional log in to the site.

Is there anyone who could guide me as to how i could do this, i have seen it done in a course i recently had to take but i have no idea how to do it or even where to start.

XML Not Tracking Loading Progress
I have a very large XML file that I am loading and it loads up just fine.

The problem is that I am trying to make a progress bar and it's not working right - I have a trace tracking the progress, but the progress does not show up until the file has already loaded! In other words, the MovieClip just hangs (stalls) until it's loaded... once it's loaded I see all the progress on the output tab.

Here is my code:

Code:
stop();
var timeDatabase:URLRequest = new URLRequest("databases/Main.xml");

//Assign a new loader
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

//Add a complete listener
dataLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);
dataLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressTracker);

//Load the database
dataLoader.load(new URLRequest("databases/Main.xml"));

//Track Progress
function progressTracker(e:ProgressEvent) {

trace(e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal);
}

//Load complete
function completeListener(e:Event):void {

//Remove load listeners
dataLoader.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progressTracker);
dataLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);

//Assign the database
var time:XML = new XML(dataLoader.data);

//Notify
trace("complete");
}
Any ideas?

Shared Object Progress Tracking HELP Please
Hey,
I need some help with this concept. I have seen the shared object used for many purposes but not this and so far my tests have failed. I am working on a cd rom..I need to be able to record where the user left off and resume at that point on their next use of the cd. Ideally i would like to have a number of framelabels as milestones throughout the program both to record if they've been to there and to return to these points based on if they've been there.

One concern is i want to make sure that if they have viewed 50% of the content, and re-enter at the midpoint but choose to navigate back to earlier sections, that their next visit resumes at their farthest progress and not neccessarily the last area they had open.

Can anyone help by showing an example code. That checks the shared object on entering the movie. Then starts at the corresponding point they left off at last time...

Any help would be appreciated.

Tracking Combined Load Progress
I have a project that loads an XML file, an audio file and an external SWF. I currently track the loading of each of these processes individually, check to see if all have been fully loaded and then start my movie.

I'd like to develop a single preloader that accurately reflects the percentage of the combined loads -- is there a relatively painless way to go about this?

Thanks.

Tracking Users Progress Through A Site / Course
Hello List,

I currently have a course built for a client who eventually would like to be able to track a users progress throughout the course (this was not specified at the time creation). The pages were built in MX 2004 and the current structure involves every new page/movie being loaded into a shell contained on the root timeline. I am using an Array to contain all of the file names for the movies that are to be loaded in and using basic navigation methods (forward and backward) to load the load the pages sequentially.

My question is what process should I take now that the pages are created to implement a tracking mechanism for each student as they make their way through the course? Its OK if I have to go back and modify the pages.

I built the structure thus far by myself but am at a point where I need some advice as we are beginning work on the next course next week and I would like to implement as many of the coding changes as possible as well as research the XML, database, or LMS issues that will arrise.

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Tracking Progress Of Movie Clip
I have a movie clip playing on the main timeline. I want to begin playing a second movie clip when the first one is complete. The trick is, I only want to do this using actionscript in the root timeline, NOT the first movie clip's timeline.

Any suggestions?

Tracking PHP Data Send Progress Correctly ?
I already started a thread on a different forum so I'd rather link you guys to that thread instead of repeating myself again: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=185432

You'll see that tracking the progress is quite easy just that there's a tiny problem. The displayed percentage is just crazy... instead of having something like 24% 55% 87% 100% I'm getting stuff like 100% 56% 87% 99% 100% 56% 100% and I have no idea why and how to solve this.

You'll find a link in that thread to an example I uploaded that demonstrates the problem. If anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it, then I'd really appreciate some feedback.

Thanks.

Getting Load Progress Of LoadMovie Object
I'm loading in external jpg's into my movie, but they don't load right away, so I put a load bar in that is seen before the image loads. How would I code this properly?
The bar's instance name is loadBar, which is on the same timeline as the MC the image is being loaded into, imageOne.
Loading is not the issue here, that's simple, it's checking the progress of the loading image.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Progress Bar For Showing Progress Of Loading Data From A CFC?
Hi all,

I wondered if anyone knew any way of showing a progress bar when calling a CFC through actionscript? I have a CFC which returns a ton of data, and so would like to show the progress of the data being loaded.

I know you can do this when loading a webpage, through using URLLoader, and getting the progress by listening to the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event. However, when I call the CFC, I don't use the URLLoader class. My code for calling the CFC service looks like below

Code:
var service : RemoteObject = RemoteObject( ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService( "productService" ) );
var responder : GenericResponder = this.initResponder( getProductOptionListResult, getProductOptionListFault, resultHandle, faultHandle );
var call : AsyncToken = service.findOptionsForProduct( product );
thanks in advance for your help!

Coding a progress bar to show progress of a Timer.

I have a timer that is set for (8000, 0). Pretty much what I would like to do is show the progress of where the timer is at but with a graphic. Something simple like a loader bar. Pending on where the timer is at the progress bar would load accordingly.

I am going to give it a try with out help but thought I would ask on the forum incase someone has an idea of how to do this before I go on a wild goose chase. Anyhow here goes the chase. If I figre it out before someone can help me I will post my code here.

Progress Bar Not Showing Progress
Hi all

I have putted the code below in frame1, and then the actual movie in frame 2. The problem is that the code below doesn't show the progress unless i put the movie to start from say frame 5. Could someone please tell me why that is and any good progress bar code with percentage? I've actually tried a few tutorial sample and only this one works but need to move to higher frame no.

// stop the movie from continuing
stop();

// create a function called onEnterFrame
// with this name, it is an event handler
// and is called automatically by the flash
// player every frame at intervals specified
// by the frame rate of the movie
onEnterFrame = function(){

// percent loaded is loaded/total
var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();

// assign percent loaded to preloader movie clip
// in the form of the variable named value
preloader_mc.value = percent_loaded;

if (percent_loaded == 1){

// delete the onEnterFrame event handler
// so that it is no longer being called
// every frame
delete onEnterFrame;

// tell the main timeline to play
play();
//gotoAndPlay(12);
}
}

I am currently developing a fully flash web site and I want to have animated transitions between pages. How, when i click to go to another 'page' or section of the animation, do i get flash to remember where it is and play an 'out page' animation before bringing in the new page?
I hope i've described what I want well enough for someone to understand what it is i want to do. I am reasonably comfortable with flash but i'm far from an expert.

_x _y Tracking For Mc In Mcs
may i ask...

if i have a mc embedded in another mc, and then in another mc, is there any way to track the real exact x and y position of the deepest embedded mc?

say, i have _root.ball.spot
and i want to track the exact x and y position of the spot mc, even if after _root.ball has been rotated, resized, whatever...

is that possible? because i know references to _root.ball.spot._x would not change if _root.ball had been rotated or reshaped or transformed in any way.

Thanks in advance~!

Tracking Swf's
one of our clients needs to track where people go in their website, which is all flash
the server tracks swf's loaded, but inaccurately
i believe that if the swf is in the browser's cache, it wont always call for a new swf
so the stats arent correct

i tried to do something where i add a counter to the swf calls like this:
loadMovie("a_movie.swf?counter=1");
but that doesnt work, it works for xml, asp, php
it even works on the html file that calls the initial swf, but not within flash

the only other idea i have is to build a database and actually push file names into the database as they are clicked
i'd rather let their server stats take care of some of that if i could

any sugggestions?

Tracking Via .PNG From A SWF
Hello,

I am trying to track impressions on a flash rollover using a .PNG (can't use gif or jpeg, as our server logs for some reason won't let us) through a .swf. when I try to call the .PNG by rolling over the png will not display, but in theory as I understand it should still make a request therefore making it trackable and accessible in the logs. Is there an easy way to use external images to track from a rollover state (trying to figure out how many people are rolling over the button). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks,
Brandon

Ad Tracking
We want to create flash ads and track the click-thrus.

We are using coldfusion. We have build all of our standard ad tracking in-house and do not wish to use any 3rd party software unless it is the best option.

Is Flash Remoting the best option? Or am I looking at the wrong product?

Is there any server overhead with flash remoting?

FMX- Tracking Xml Sent To ASP
Hello to all flash coders worldwide!

this might be more of an ASP question but I figured that a lot of us deal with that programming AS so here it goes...

is there a way to track an xml sent to an ASP? I mean, is there a way to make sure that the xml was actually received by the ASP?

Here is a summary of how I send it to the ASP:

xmlToSend=<data><userId>5</userId<elementId>6</elementId>...</data>
objToSend=new XML(xmlToSend);
objToReceive.onLoad=myResponse;
objToSend.sendAndLoad(regURL,objToReceive);

myResponse is just a function that gathers and parses the ASP response.

My problem is that the ASP (which I'm not programming myself) might not be receiving the xml because it returns an error message (it could be due to many things I guess). I've used the same method for a login system and worked perfectly....so...I'm kinda stuck!!!

help! thanks yo all!!!

Tracking User
I'll be building an online course in Flash and need to know how I can track a user's progress.

For instance - there is a voice over on the first screen that is supposed to play when a user first comes to the screen, but not on subsequent visits to that same screen.

Also - there needs to be a checkmark by a menu choice to show when a user completes the lesson. There will be a text file I can hit to determine the user's progress, but I'm not sure of the Actionscript to use for these procedures.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Mouse Tracking
Okay, this is TWO questions in one post.
What I want to do is track the mouse movement. Now, I CAN do this, but there are two things I want to ask.
I have two dynamic textboxes called posX and posY.
First, a look at my code:

Frame 1:
var posX = _root._xmouse;
var posY = _root._ymouse;

Frame 2:
gotoAndPlay(1);

Now, here are my two questions.
1) How come I always get whole numbers whenever I move my mouse around? Is that the way it always is? Is there a more accurate way? Or should I not even bother?

2) Is there a better looping system then using 2 frames and going back to another frame? There's got to be a better way to do the loop so that it's more exact.

Hi
is it possible to continously track the position of a mouse in an MC
I tried using the

_ymouse
properties and returned the values to a text field
but it only gave me the position of the mouse for only one position.

i need to continously track the mouse so i can implement an action that does something when the cursor goes out of a specific area that is designated in the form of a square by two x values and two y values

Thanx

Tracking In Flash
okie...

i have a website that is fully flash, importing swfs on to many levels.

Now i'm wondering.. is there any way of tracking the users clicks..eg. users click "1.swf" more than "2.swf".

I was thinking the only way to do it is to write something to a database when the user clicks on the button..ie in the "on (release)"

Has anyone done something like this... am i on the right track..??

any feedback would be great.
