adding sound onto MCQ intruction box

Hi,

Using OTK 3.3 and trying to add an mp3 into the MCQ instruction box. How can this be done?

Appreciate it.

The MCQ page type is only a single question so the easiest way to add audio would be to use the narration option and then just upload your audio via that option. However if you're prepared to add a bit of code via source view you can add audio anywhere. e.g.
1. upload the audio via the narration option to get the mp3 on the project folder.
2. Delete the narration option - it won't delete the file from the media folder.
3. In the Instruction text box switch to source view and add a div to hold the player and then script to add the player e.g. HTH

thank you Ron,

your reply sparks another question. Is it possible to ftp into the project folder?

Alex

If you set up your server to do so yes of course but in normal use that shouldn't be needed and not really advisable - certainly not for upload if that's what you're thinking.
The time ftp access to project folders and indeed the whole installation can be useful is for retrieving and fixing issues or broken projects/xml etc but suffice to say be careful if you go that route.

Hi Ron,

ftp seems to be working just fine and filezilla proves amazingly fast!

Thank you!

Hi Ron,
Could I include a second mp3 in my instruction container? Your suggestion for the first one worked. Tried copying and pasting the same script making the necessary changes but no luck.
Any clues?
Thank you!
