We built Flashform to be fully extensible. This means that any advanced user can create additional page templates and course styles to share with other Flashform users. In this way, Flashform can handle any need you may have!

Once a page template or course style is added to Flashform, it is part of the software as if it were part of the original product. Flashform extensions can be offered free or for sale on the Flashform Community site.

Hiring Rapid Intake or Customizing On Your Own

Suppose you need Flashform to do something it doesn't do 'out-of-the-box'.

For example, let's suppose you want to create an interactive video question page where the learner reads a question, sees multiple thumbnails for different videos about that topic, clicks on each thumbnail to view each video, then drags one of the thumbnails to an 'answer' box to submit the answer.

Flashform doesn't have a page template that does this by default. But with Flashform's extensible design, any capable Flash developer, including those at Rapid Intake, could create this kind of template for you.

If you are a Flash developer, you can customize Flashform on your own. Read on for tips on how to get started.

Getting Started With Customizing and Extending Flashform

If you want to customize Flashform yourself, this is where you begin. If you are new to building extensions for Flashform, here are a few tips to get you started:

• You need the Professional Edition of Flashform. The Professional Edition includes all of Flashform's .FLA and .AS source files. It also includes several Flash components that automatically write XML to Flashform's XML files so you can easily create a form for any page templates you design.
• You need Adobe Flash. Flashform is built on Adobe Flash. So to customize or extend Flashform you need Adobe Flash.
• You need fundamental Actionscript programming skills and a basic knowledge of XML.
