Connecting to Connect, Building Flash Applications for Adobe Connect

Through open APIs it's easy for exiting Flash developers to build applications for Adobe Connect. Using the AICC standard dynamic exams can be built and deployed for eLearning; Adobe's Collaboration Builder SDK provides the means to build applications that connect users via live online meetings; and Connect's own API allows for custom dashboards to be built to administer the Connect server.

  • Difficulty: Experienced
  • Prerequisites: Some Flash development experience.
  • Session Track: Flex

Session Detail

Andrew will discuss the highs and lows of developing eLearning applications with Flash that can be deployed with Connect. He will talk about the limitations and workarounds required to successfully build applications that will work within the AICC standard and demonstrate Connects ability to track the results of both users and the effectiveness of online assessment.

The Collaboration Builder SDK is a free download from Adobe that can be used by Flash developers to build collaboration content for Connect meetings. Learn how it can be used to create Pods that can be simultaneously used by many users during an online meeting.

The Connect server has an API that gives the developer access to the data managed by the Connect administration interface. This can be used to build custom solutions for clients, dashboards to display data based on existing business rules.
