Flash Media Component Audio Slideshow

Introduction

This course uses pages outfitted with an audio and text arrangement that enables learners to listen to an audio track while following along to text slides on the page. To ensure that all students can hear the audio and read the text, we make several file formats available from this page which provide various formats so everyone can access the files. These files are as follows:

• MP3
• PPT
• SWF

1. Save your Powerpoint file as an RTF and open the RTF in Word.
2. Select all then copy the text in the RTF document.
3. Create a page item in ANGEL and paste your RTF document text into the Fast!Page HTML editor. Accept Changes then save the page.
4. You now have the slide text available in a universal format to the students of the course.

1. Next, at the top of the page you will want to edit in some instructions directing students:

Before you listen to this audio clip, you may want to try one of these:

1. Print out this page so you can follow along with the audio.
2. Download the Powerpoint file: Healthy_People_2010.ppt - Then open it and follow along while listening to this audio clip.
3. Simply click play and follow along with the slideshow outline below.
4. If you find that your flash player isn't working, you can attempt to listen to the original MP3 File Available Here.

2. Where the PPT and MP3 are referenced you will want to make a relative link (i.e. <a href="powerpointfile.ppt">Available Here</a> to the files. You can do this in Settings > Page Text or in the Fast!Page HTML editor by clicking the html tab.
3. Next upload the PPT and MP3 into the Associated File Manager of this Page Item. Note: Before you upload, you will need to name your MP3 file "topic_area_01.mp3 " This is a mandatory convention we will use for this technique.

1. Find a place in your page item's html code to place the flash audio player and paste in this code snippet:

<DIV align=center><OBJECT id=topic_area_01 codeBase=height=76 width=298 align=middle classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000><PARAM NAME="_cx" VALUE="7885"><PARAM NAME="_cy" VALUE="2011"><PARAM NAME="FlashVars" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="topic_area_01.swf"><PARAM NAME="Src" VALUE="topic_area_01.swf"><PARAM NAME="WMode" VALUE="Window"><PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="-1"><PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="-1"><PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="High"><PARAM NAME="SAlign" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="Menu" VALUE="-1"><PARAM NAME="Base" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="sameDomain"><PARAM NAME="Scale" VALUE="ShowAll"><PARAM NAME="DeviceFont" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="EmbedMovie" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="BGColor" VALUE="FFFFFF"><PARAM NAME="SWRemote" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="MovieData" VALUE=""> <embed src="topic_area_01.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="298" height="76" name="topic_area_01" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></OBJECT></DIV>
