Yes precisely - it was a media type issue. Once I used flv/swf files I could now import through the dropdown menu with no problems - don't know about the drag and drop though.<br><br>Andrew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>
Yes I did - and that did not work either. I wonder if I am trying to import the
wrong media (e.g. mpg).<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">Hello <br>
<br>
This is truly a novice question. Please forgive it.<br>
<br>
I have just started using Xerte and I am experimenting with audio and video. I
am experiencing problems with dragging and dropping media into Xerte from
Windows explorer. When I drag the file to Xerte or Use the Import Media
function, it never appears anywhere. I have tried dragging to the URL in the
object properties (of appropriate objects) and it simply does not register -
and I have tried dragging to every other part of the system as far as I can
tell.. I must be missing something obvious but cannot seem to identify what it
is.<br>
<br>
Your help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
