Passing things into storyline 2 and receiving them out

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction here.

I have a custom front end that users login to, along w/ a launch button that launches the course.  In the course the students take a quiz. After they complete the course they are directed to a new page that has a few different options based on the score they receive.

I understand the javascript side of things, how to make the triggers - as far as ajax call and whatnot - So here are what id like to do and the specific questions:

1. Pass some type of data into the launch of the storyline 2 course (for example, the users name) then use that variable inside the course.

If I have a variable named userName What needs to happen for storyline to see that variable?

2. capture the results of the quiz

My goal is the save the quiz results in a database - I have the ajax working fine on a trigger - Im looking for how to grab the quiz results and either pass them into javascript (or can I just make a JS call to grab them?) so I can store them.

3. get data out of the course.

Nothing fancy here - lets just call it a button that launches a URL - is there any way to customize that URL - if not - lets put a javascript trigger that pops a URL - how do I access the storyline vars in JS.

 

Thanks
