it is something in your swf not playing nice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">I’ve been experimenting with toolkits, and a learning object with ‘menu with page controls’ navigation enabled. On my menu page, I’ve added the optional menu page image property. Rather
than just use a boring image, I’ve attempted to insert a swf – which itself plays a FLV video (from our streaming server) and also has its own player controls (linked from the Xerte media files).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">You can view the LO here:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">Hopefully you’ll see that the swf video loads fine, and can be controlled by the user with the control buttons. Everything fine so far…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">Now click the menu button for ‘<u>Inserting Page Breaks: Part 1’</u> – which loads the modified youtube page type that Julian worked on last week. This works fine also.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">However, now for the interesting behaviour…while on the youtube page - use the
<u>contents</u> button from the top menu to return to the main menu, and you should see that Xerte loads several instances of my original swf video and breaks:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">This doesn’t happen if you use the previous/next buttons – it only seems to replicate when directly jumping between the YT page and main menu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
