mind the wrap - the only new line you need is the one in bold, near the
bottom: 

<sound type="Media" label="Sound File" optional="true"/>

Nah, isn't working. but if it did, wouldn't this add a new option? I don't
want to do that, I want to have the ability to add a sound actually within
each option.

Here's what I've got at the mo anyway.

  <!--MCQ

    <name type="TextInput" label="Page Title"/>

    <align type="ComboBox" label="Align Text" options="Left,Right"

    <narration type="media" label="Narration" optional="true"/>

    <newNodes>

      <option>

                  <sound type="media" label="Sound" optional="true"/>

                  <![CDATA[<option sound="Select a Sound" text="here is an
option" feedback="feedback for this option" correct="false"/>]]>

                  </option>

    </newNodes>

  </mcq>

first on, 2 - thats the xml that is added

second, no, in the section for an option...

<option>

  <sound type="media" label="Sound" (possibly)optional="true"/>

  ...

</option>

the optional = true bit means the user will have to add it from the optional
properties combo at the top,

Thanks Jules, 

Just struggling a bit to see where you mean.. When you say add it to the
option tag, which tag do you mean?...

And when you say add it to the part of the .xwd ... I've been adding it
inside <mcq. >  here  </mcq> is that right? 

Cheers, 

Paul

you need to add it to the option tag:

<option sound="Select a Sound"...> - this is in the newNodes section for a
question - so the xml node for the option contains the sound="blah" bit as
well.

AND add it to the part of the .xwd so that the wizard can draw the control
for it

<sound type="media" label="Sound File"/>

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to edit the multiple choice question model in the Xerte Template
Wizard  so that depending on which option the user chooses, a different
audio file will be played. To do this I need to add the ability to add a
sound file link to each option. I think I need to add the  <sound
type="Media" label="SoundFile"/>  element somewhere in the XML but
everywhere I have tried hasn't given a result. I haven't even managed to
break it which is a first for me!

Any help would be great J

Cheers, 

Paul
