It's working for me http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_5429 <http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_5429> 
 
Assuming the files you're using are working in other toolkits pages the only other thing I can think of is that some files are missing from your installation that make the page work.  I've attached a zip with 3 files in it which need to be in the 'common' folder - these files are only used for this page type (the buttons that you use to scroll through the available video/sounds) so if they're missing then only this page would be having problems.

Hi Fay - thanks for the email - I have entered text and have also noted that with the sound file option there is an image add in option. However, all files I upload still do not display/open. Every other page in xot templates works on my computer except this one but wonder if someone could just try it to see if its just me or whether it is a prob with the page itself.

Thanks

Hi Andy

I can't check this at the moment but I have a feeling that you have to have entered some text to go with each video for them to load.

Hi yes the flv and mp3 files work elsewhere. I'll give it another shot with different flvs and mp3s.

Yes, I thought it would be useful to be able to have a series of images which when one is clicked it would enlarge and there would be a media player beneath the image which the user could click on to hear a description/explanation. Other images would still be viewable (guessing there would be a limit of maybe three images to fit across the top of the display window) but would naturally be smaller than the temporarily selected one. The media player for a sound file attached to the image would be an optional add-in. It's something I'd like to incorporate for a comparison type activity for a project I am working on. Audio slide show pagetype was considered but it moves from image to image but does not retain a view of all images for the task. Also, based on the original multiple perspectives design, I think it would work well to have an image option to go along with the video and sound file options.

it uses flv and mp3. Do the videos work elsewhere OK?

For the images / sound, you mean have an image load up when a partiular sound is chosen?

Hi all -

I am trying to set up a page in XOT templates version using the Multiple Perspectives pagetype. I have tried loading .flv and .swf files for the video option and .mp3 for the sound file option. The files appear to upload to the editing page but do not appear on the display page. Am I using the wrong file types?

Also, I wonder if it would be possible to extend the functionality of this page to include images which could be linked with sound? That would be a useful addition in my humble opinion.

Cheers

Andy
