If I’m launching via index.html and it’s passing values for each specific student to rloObject.js then calling the swf/rlo, and the rlo is looking back at rolOjbect.js for values, I’m going to get a mish-mash of 25 student values, am I not? I need to pass each instance of the RLO a student’s specific coursemarkID / LoginID / CompanyCourseID etc. I can’t have any possibility of them getting mixed up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>RonM2<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
