I’m working on an e-learning course built in Flash that will work in a SCORM environment. One piece of functionality that has been requested is to keep track of where a user has been.
For example, a student may login and work on a few lessons and then leave the course without finishing it. When they return to the course, they should be able to click on a button to take them back to where they were when they left the course or be automatically taken to that point in the course.
The only way I can think of this being done is with cookies, so Flash would have to communicate with the browser via JavaScript and drop a cookie at the start of the course. Upon re-entry, the JavaScript would need to get the cookie and detect a position left in the course and take the user to that point upon activation.
I’ve seen tutorials on bookmarking and some on getting flash to work with the back button in the browser, but that’s not really what I’m looking for.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
