Movies can be added to your module using the same basic structure as
with other media types.
<figure id='moviefig2'><media id="movie" alt="Building on the Past"><video mime-type="video/mpeg"
src="Building_on_the_Past.mpg"width="350"
height="300"autoplay="false" /></media><caption>The Creative Commons movie: "Building on the Past".
Click the Play button to start the movie.</caption></figure> The movie is displayed below:
You can insert Flash objects in your module. Here is an example of
the CNXML code required to include a Flash object:
<figure id='flashfig'><media id="new_flash" alt="flash animation of the connexions logo"><flash mime-type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="flash.swf"height="250"
width="250" /></flash></media><caption>"Welcome to Connexions" example Flash object.</caption></figure> The
Flash object appears in your
module the same way in which a movie or an image appears:
Audio files such as mp3, real audio, and wav files can be inserted
into your module quickly and easily. To include audio files in yourdocument, upload the corresponding audio file and include code similar
to the following in your "index.cnxml" document:
<figure id='musicscale'><media id="music_example" alt="chromatic scale slurred"><audio mime-type="audio/x-wav" src="chromatic_slurred.wav"/></media><caption>A chromatic scale performed on clarinet by Michael Lawrence.</caption></figure>
The
actual display for the previous
CNXML example is:
Java applets are another media type you can use in your Connexions
modules:
<figure id="javafig"><media id="java_example" alt="a complex sinusoid"><java-applet mime-type="application/x-java-applet"
code="PhasorDemo.class"width="430"
height="500" /></media><caption>3D Animation of a Complex Sinusoid. Click the Run button to start the animation.</caption></figure> The
actual display for the previous
CNXML example is:
For information on including LabVIEW demonstrations in your module, please see Creating LabVIEW demonstrations for Connexions .
Some multimedia objects need options or parameters to display
properly. You can pass this information to the multimedia objectswith the
param tag.
The
param tag allows you to specify the run-time
settings for an object inserted into XHTML documents.
Here is an example of a
param tag for an audio (wav) object:
<figure id="audio2"><media id="music_example2" alt="Slurred chromatic scale"><audio mime-type="audio/x-wav" src="chromatic_slurred.wav"><param name="title" value="Chromatic Scale"/></audio></media></figure>
