The QTI engine can process results from a flash file,
if the flash file is properly integrated into the
qti.xml file. Regular flash "movies" are integrated
with the <matvideo> tag of type "application/x-shockwave-flash".
Those Flash files can not communicate further with the OLAT QTI
engine. If your Flash is integrated with an <matapplet> tag,
the QTI engine does allow for the flash to send back an
response which will be propcessed by the engine. The
matapplet tag has to be within an <response_str> tag.
Your Flash can thus send back its response in the form of
a single string.


The following shows an example excerpt:

     <item ident="QTIEDIT:FLA:1063841914107" title="A Flash Test">
        <presentation>
          <material>
            <mattext><![CDATA[What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?]]></mattext>
          </material>
          <response_str ident="1063841914115" rcardinality="Single" rtiming="No">
            <render_extension>
            	<material>
              	<matapplet uri="media/sendparam.swf" width="300" height="200"></matapplet>
            	</material>
            </render_extension>
          </response_str>
        </presentation>
        <resprocessing>
          <outcomes>
            <decvar varname="SCORE" vartype="Decimal" defaultval="0" minvalue="0.0" maxvalue="1.0" cutvalue="1.0"/>
          </outcomes>
          <respcondition title="Mastery" continue="Yes">
            <conditionvar>
              <varequal respident="1063841914115" case="Yes">42</varequal>
            </conditionvar>
            <setvar varname="SCORE" action="Set">1.0</setvar>
          </respcondition>
          <respcondition title="Fail" continue="Yes">
            <conditionvar>
              <not>
                <varequal respident="1063841914115" case="Yes">42</varequal>
              </not>
            </conditionvar>
            <setvar varname="SCORE" action="Set">-1</setvar>
          </respcondition>
        </resprocessing>
      </item>

Note that in addition, the items ident attribute has to begin with "QTIEDIT:FLA:"
which will instruct the QTI engine not to display any forms (your Flash should
already implement some kind of "Submit" button.)

The following code snippet demonstrates how to
send back an answer to the OLAT QTI Engine from
within a flash file.

----- Sample Code -----

var oResponseURL:String = _root.oResponseURL;
var oResponseParam:String = _root.oResponseParam;

sendbutton.onRelease = function(){
  loadVars = new LoadVars();
  loadVars[oResponseParam] = inputfield.text;
  loadVars.send(oResponseURL, "_self", "POST");
} 
----- Sample Code -----

See the files sendparam.fla/.swf for an example.
This will display an input field with a submit button.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON STATIC RESOURCES
------------------------------------

If you want to load resources from within your flash, use the
supplied parameter oStaticsURL as base from where you'll load
your data from.

Example:

Instead of calling

	loadVariables("media/foo.txt", 0);

use

	loadVariables(_root.oStaticsURL + "media/foo.txt", 0);
