Getting student name from the LMS and using it in Articulate

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the quick response. The script you gave me did not do the job, but the link to the discussion did. I am publishing to SCORM 1.2 and using HTML5 with Flash. This is what worked for me. Thanks everyone.

var player = GetPlayer();

function findLMSAPI(win) {
// look in this window
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;

// all done if no parent
else if (win.parent == win) return null;

// climb up to parent window & look there
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}
var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);
var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
var array = myName.split(',');
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];
player.SetVar("newName", newName);

Thanks,
Marcia
