[Xerte] Re: Reading POST parameters from web page in RLO

[Julian Tenney]

Its better the function route you are already taking: you don't have to hardcode the flash vars into the piece, or cope with them on the embed tag. Once you learn to call functions from xerte, you're opening up all the possibilities you need to do what you want,

Hello Julian - if I use object/embed I'll be using flashvars, correct?

I'm not sure how I could use js to get/set values. I need to pass some critical info in like courseID, LoginID, etc that is specific to each user, so I don't see how I can 'read' a URL from xerte. Is there a way with js I can pass these specific values to the RLO when launched?

Thanks

Either pass them inot the piece from the web page via the object / embed stuff, or (better) write some javascript functions you can call from Xerte to get / set values.

Anyone have an example of reading 'POST' parameters in xerte desktop?

I'd like to launch an RLO from a webpage and pass in several parameters like courseID, LoginID, etc., but not clear on how I can 'read' them in when the xerte flowline starts. Do I need a JS wrapper for this?
