RE: [Xerte] Scorm 1.2 packaged with Xerte 1.9 doesn´t comunicate with LMS

I see the same behavior. If run from the file system (double-click index.html) I get no pop-up with 'null' in the box after I click the button. When running through a webserver, I get the pop-up with "hello world" after clicking the button, and the box has 'the function returned'. Looks like ExternalInterface requires a webserver?

	It helps a lot, because we have now isolated the problem. ExternalInterface fails for you yet the same files work for me. If you access the files on our web server, they work. If you access the same files on your local machine, or on your own webserver or on Claroline they do not work. They are the same files, right? Whether they work or not seems to depend on where they are being served from.
	 
	I need to talk to Pat because he can make it work and fail in different situations depending on where he runs it from.

	No.
	Diferent behaviour
	
	Blank page with button below
	
	When this button pressed no pop-up; appears word "null" inside the text box
	
	Tested with Explorer 6 and firefox: same results.
	
	Hope this help.
