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

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

Hiring Rapid Intake or Customizing On Your Own

Suppose you need ProForm 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.

ProForm doesn't have a page template that does this by default. But with ProForm'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 ProForm on your own. Read on for tips on how to get started.

Getting Started With Customizing and Extending ProForm

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

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