Cashier Employment Assessment

This project consisted of two assessments that needed to be taken before an applicant could be considered for employment. The math required to calculate scores was too complex for the company's LMS quiz tool. The LMS was also incapable of generating required reporting data. However, the company still needed the assessment and final results to be stored in their LMS.

My solution was to use Flash/ActionScript, PHP, XML, and Storyline. I first created several XML files coded with questions and answers for the user, and instructions for to guide Flash functionality. I wrote a program in ActionScript to parse the XML files and perform the scoring calculations. The Flash SWFs were loaded into Storyline slides, from which they sent SCORM data to the LMS. I also wrote a PHP script to receive data from the Flash SWFs to generate custom reports.
