Glad you find the screencasts useful. It sounds like you might have your score variable set to ‘local’ scope – you need to change this to ‘global’ scope so that the value of the variable is available to other pages. Hope this helps and sorry for slow response.

Hi Jeremy. Have been following your Screencasts as an aid to my coursework and have found them very useful! Just one question: How do i make the score from that particular screencast appear on every page? This is so that the user can track their score throughout the product. Every time i advance to another page it seems to disappear.
Many Thanks.

I have had lots of issues with features not working as they should in compiled swf’s. It could be the added swf in question contains scripting that interferes with mediator. I suggest you produce a test a application with just the imported flash object added and nothing else. if it compiles and works you at least know it should work in theory, if it doesnt work in this format then, your not going to be able to use it in mediator.

I don’t have any experience of using interactive Flash objects in Mediator projects so I’m not able to provide you with any tips on this one. Perhaps someone else reading these comments might have some advice? I wonder if there could be a clash of different ActionScripts here? I’m not sure how Mediator handles ActionScript.

Hi Jeremy,
Hope that you can shed some light on this. Creating an E-Learning Booklet, using the tools with Mediator. I have repurposed an existing Flash movie and tried to import it into Mediator. The Flash Object is a drawing tool which allows the user to draw circles over spelling mistakes in text and to print off later. The swf loads and plays in Mediator fine, howvever, when it is exported eitther through SCORM or as swf file, the Flash Object sometimes appears and if it does the user is unable to draw on the canvas. Any ideas??

Jeremy, basically I want to do a presentation, have a questionnaire & be able for the results to be emailed to a person, the name of which can be set at the beginning.

Jeremy, I think Mediator 9 is a great programme, but the tutorials provided by Matchware are not good. I basically want to use it for developing training & adding soem Java script.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Vinny. What kind of training did you have in mind and in what context?

Hi, great work. Do you sell training on Mediator?

Sorry but I’ve been away on leave and recent changes in my personal circumstances have made it very difficult for me to find time to work on the Mediator screencasts. The Advanced Drag & Drop screencast is coming along but is quite a biggy. I’ll try to get it published shortly. Sorry that I don’t have the time to offer you more assistance.
