Adding multimedia

You can have sound and video in your flipcharts, provided that your hardware supports them.

Sound files

Some sound files are provided in ActivInspire resources.

Display the Resource Browser and navigate to Shared Resources > Sounds > Animals > Bird.wav.

Drag the file to your flipchart. It is inserted as an image object with an applied action to play the file.

When you hover over the image the blue 'action associated' icon is shown.

 

When you click on the image the sound plays and the ActivInspire Sound Controller is displayed by default.

Select View > Sound Controller to hide the Sound Controller.

You can disable display of the Sound Controller from your profile:

Select File > Settings > Settings Tab > Multimedia and deselect the checkbox Show sound controller.

When you right-click on the image it is selected, as indicated by the Marquee Handles.

 

The Object Browser (below) shows the image and the Action Browser shows the applied action.

 

You can play two different types of sound file at one time. Two controllers are displayed, showing Track 1 and Track 2.

 

 

From the Menubar select Insert > Media.

The 'Choose media to insert' Dialog Box opens.

 

 

Select Insert > Link.

 

 

You can also create your own sound and animation files with ActivInspire, provided that your hardware supports them.
