[Xerte] RE: WebCT CE6 says "no content" error but module runs

[Tenney Julian]

I always use IE for WebCT. It has never worked well with FF in my
experience.

You can set the streaming property on sound icons to 1 - then the sound
will start playing before the file has downloaded. It's not true
streaming though - it's progressive download.

You can load swfs into Xerte using the graphic icon or the component
icon, depending on your needs. You can load up Flash files that do
pretty much anything Flash can do (compiled for AS2, FP8).

I am indeed a banjo player. I play old-time American folk, clawhammer
style.

That was it.  I am using the right address now, I hope.

Yes. 

What happened was that in Firefox 3, WebCT loaded the wrong file or
misnamed it.  My SCORM package was "xerte-test.zip" and it took a long
time loading, as expected, but when I went to SAVE it within the CE6
Create Scorm page, I noticed that instead of the zip file, it was
showing an .swf file from my CE6 storage.  I think the Java file
requestor is munged.  I 
tried in IE, and it worked fine.  Is there a known problem with Firefox
3?   Since the update 
t0 Firefox3, WebCT tests my browser each time, and complains..

Another quetion: I notice that the mp3 has to load when I run the module
in CE6.  Is there a way to make it stream?  Alternatively, could I load
an swf version of the audio and a player? 
How?

I know a little bit about Flash from using Kool Moves, which I found
easier than Flash to come to grips with.  So I was really excited to
find Xerte, which seems to be Flash centric.  I wonder if other Xerte
also use Kool Moves.

BTW are you a banjo player?  I play English concertina and traverso.
Love it.
