Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable
I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....

Haha, that's what I get for multi-tasking. Phil's example demonstrates it the rearrangement. lmsAPI.GetStudentName() and SCORM_GetStudentName() should return identical values.
var player = GetPlayer();
var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
var array = myName.split(',');
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];
player.SetVar("newName", newName);
