I have created an assessment simulation in Captivate 5. What I need to do is grab the score from Captivate (as a variable?) and then plug that score into a Storyline Blank Results Slide.
The problem is that I can't publish the Story for the LMS because without the result slide, the only tracking would be from completing all pages which would not be correct in this case. (i.e. they could fail the assessment and still pass the course).
Can anyone tell me how to:
1. capture the captivate result
2. Put that result into a viarable that can be used on the Blank Results Slide?
To have a Captivate assessment running inside a Storyline project seems a rather protracted way to get a score, but it may be worth exploring if you could pass the Captivate score to a Javascript variable and then pass the variable's value into Storyline. Here some info on JavaScript and Storyline and here is some info on using JavaScript with Captivate.
Does anyone have any sample code for this? I've been able to find tutorials on how to modify Storyline variables from flash using Actionscript and javascript, but nothing from Captivate to Storyline. Seems like the latter would be much easier to do.
Steve Flowers hit it dead on with what I was looking for. I really don't have time to plug in variations of code through trial and error so I was seeking help from someone who knows how to code.
Just came across this post and am trying to find out if i can use js to pass a pass/fail variable from an embedded captivate sim into storyline. This is an old post, but was this ever resolved?
Hi Chris! I know that Bradley worked in the thread that I shared above, but outside of that this is totally out of my realm of knowledge. Hopefully that will be able to assist you as well.

You could pass the score via javascript but couldn't then use a results slide to pass that into the LMS as results variables are read only

Should be achievable, looking at your previous post you need to revisit the links Michael gave you to get the phrasing correct

So others can follow along, Bradley's solution can be found here.
