Web Page Editor

Insert Media Object:

Media objects are audio or video files. To add a Media Object click the Media Object icon. (see figure 1) This will open the "Media" window. (see figure 2)

• Source: The Source setting is where you select the media file to be displayed. In the "Source" section click the folder icon on the very right. This will open the "Asset Manager" window. In this window you will see a list of all the media files you have uploaded. Once you have selected your media file click the "ok" in the bottom, right of the window. (For more information about the Asset Manager and uploading files, please visit the "Asset Manager" section of the help pages.)
  
  Once you have selected the media file, you can select the dimensions of the display, determine whether the media is automatically started when the page is loaded; set whether the media player controls, status bar, or display are shown, and set the media to automatically rewind or loop.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Width and Height: In the "width" and "height" section enter the width and height of the media object in pixels. When setting up video, it is best if you know the actual dimensions for the video and use those dimensions.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Auto Start: This setting determines whether the media begins playing automatically when the page is loaded.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Show Controls: The show controls setting determines whether the controls, such as play, stop, rewind, fastfoward, etc. are displayed in the media player. We highly recommend having the controls displayed as many visitors will want to be able to control what they are viewing or hearing. Not having that control can lead to a less enjoyable experience for visitors or even cause them to leave.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Show Status Bar: The show status bar setting determines whether the media player status bar is displayed. The status bar indicates how much of the media remains to be played.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Show Display: When this is checked, a graphical display will show along with the standard horizontal line that designates the audio player.Auto Rewind.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Auto Rewind: When this box is checked, the file will automatically "rewind" to the beginning of playback. When combined with "Auto Start", the audio file can be made to loop continually.
  
  
  
  
  
  

When you have selected the source graphic file and entered the settings, click the "Insert" button at the bottom left of the window. Then click the "Save" icon in the top, left corner of the Page Editor.
