<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>-first I need
to know how Xerte opens the communication with the SCORM, is it automatic or I
have to initialize something? I am using Moodle as platform if this helps.</span>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>It’s automatic. Pulish to SCORM 1.2 and deploy those
files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>-second, my
L.O. is a simple guided exercise to help children to do maths and all I need is
that my last button (that is a save button) will send to the SCORM the input to
write the "complete" status on the exercise. How is it wise to do? My
button has a name off course in the SWF file. I can't just replace it with a
Xerte button because it is animated and hidden o not active untile the last
step. So I really need to know how to open paths inside SWF files to use Xerte
functions on them.</span> <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>First of all get the SCORM test suite for scorm 1.2, and install
it on your computer. Verify it works using the test packages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Then use it to load and run your LO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The code to set the lesson_status is _level0.engine.setValue(‘cmi.core.lesson_status’,
‘completed’); call that either from your Flash swf or from Xerte
directly. You’ll be able to see the result in the test suite.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Secondly I will
need to do some other things with Xerte in a more complicated way. A sort of
test steps by steps in which I will have a lot of presentations and interactive
objects.</span> <br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I think I can
do easily the interface with Flash and take it inside Xerte. I saw the example
interface and I think I can figure out what are the components that Xerte uses
to create forward and back button and so on.</span> <br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Question is: If
I won't create all the components in the interface (I don't need text to speech
and changing fonts or colors for istance) does Xerte replace them with standard
objects or the absence of this kind of components can be an issue to make
recognize the interface as Xerte like?</span> <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>If you choose to use a custom interface, then Xerte lets you do
whatever you want to do. Some of that functionality is still available, but you’ll
have to call it from your code.</span><br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Second question
is: to change the dimension of the interface I have to edit the HTML code of
the page or is there a way to set it in Xerte parameters?</span> <span
