Thank you for the suggestion, that's actually what we have almost completed right now. We had to build a simplified version of "respond" in order to send the "new-response-id" parameter in application/x-www-url-formencoded format to flash. (that's actually the format flash requires for its http "loadvars" functions to work).
As far as QTI is concerned, i'll be looking for it in the assessment package (is there to be ?). At the moment our flash packages weren't built according to any standard ;).

Actually it seems to me that flash can support SCORM Runtime environment as an "extension", and should be able to query/update the SCORM data model on the server. However LORS seems not to implement the SCORM runtime (so far).

This seems quite interesting for the near future. Actually the fact is that SCORM runtime API should allow flash (or whatever SCO) - correct me if i am wrong - to submit results and and answers and basically whatever else can fit into the SCORM CMI Data model.
