What version of the Flash Player have you got? ExternalInterface needs version 8 or higher...

Tenney:
Thanks for your kind support!
I used your file.
In my LMS time and COMPLETED or BROWSED not informed. (same as before)
I use demo Claroline to change servers (i use the same last version in my site)
http://www.claroline.net/demo/claroline180/claroline/learnPath/learningPathList.php?cmd=delete&del_path_id=1
The results are the same as in my server: nothing change in the lesson status nor lesson
time
Here si my local ADL test suit report:

It seems, in my case for this moment i need to edit rlo using Xerte 1.10 then package and
export using Xerte 1.5 changing the scripts to the new sintaxis. I will investigate about
flash permissions. I use administrator account in my PC.
Excelent tool to write flash and e-learning content!. This problem seems not important
against the value of this kind of tool.
Best regards.
