Hi Guys,

I am looking for some advice and suggestions on how to best go about what I would like to do.

First of all I have created dynamic templates using Flash, it loads all variables in from a text file. Each template is named style1.swf, style2.swf etc.

They are basically different page layouts except for style 5 which is drag and drop questions.

My idea is to have general users create a training course through AMS and Text Files which will store all the variables and values.

I have made a start with AMS and I can write all the variables and values to the text files but what I am not sure about is. What if the user wants to create a course with say 25 pages?
:huh

I am totally stuck here and would appreciate any ideas and suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Would you need 25 pages? or could you use one page which would load 25 swf?
If so, you could arrange for an input field for the user to fiil a number in and accordingly, the app would count the number of objects to load in sequence.

Hi. The obvious choice would be to build a second tool called the "Course Builder" which takes care of all that stuff. You can easily use variables and tables to handle different setups. :)

Now if I am getting the question right, you have 5 page designs and you are wondering how to apply that to courses with more than 5 pages? If so, then the most obvious solution would probably be to cycle through them as you go along, design more pages, or choose them randomly... If I misunderstood your question please follow up and I'll re-answer. :yes
