[Xerte] Re: Interesting Problem with Swfs

OK, I thought that association might be somehow causing it to replicate by the number of items that would be listed in content.
Used to the standalone default layout of what shows when you click the upper right content.

No, it’s an optional property for adding an – wait for it – image to a menu page… J From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

<learningObject menuImage="FileLocation + 'media/ball.swf'"

menuImage?

Not really speedy on the XOT/rlt stuff, but that would strike me as unusual.

You can download the project zip directly from here: http://elearning.net.marjon.ac.uk/stuff/SWFprob.zip  Just open the youtube page, then navigate back to the main menu to see the swf problem.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Interesting Problem with Swfs Hmm. Just tried a new LO just in case and problem still persists. Are you using the new youtube.rlm that you sent last week? I’ve exported a test as a zip which you can find here: http://elearning.net.marjon.ac.uk/stuff/testvid.zip - perhaps some of the other files im using are out of date? When I tried to upgrade the whole of our XOT site, it broke our installation, so reverted and just did the models etc and the main engine stuff.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Interesting Problem with Swfs Try it with a more basic swf: I have a feeling that playback controller in your swf might be causing problems. Try a simple animation and see if it works. It works for me… so I think it is something in your swf not playing nice.

Subject: [Xerte] Interesting Problem with Swfs 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). You can view the LO here: http://elearning.net.marjon.ac.uk/rlo/play.php?template_id=334  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…  Now click the menu button for ‘Inserting Page Breaks: Part 1’ – which loads the modified youtube page type that Julian worked on last week. This works fine also.  However, now for the interesting behaviour…while on the youtube page - use the contents 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:  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. Any ideas how I could stop this? Let me know if you want me to share the swf and LO.
