I must confess I get these often ... too often ... stress really isn't good
for ya. I'd be much obliged if someone could shine some wisdom on this
particular fatal error that pops on AXF conversion. "Unexpected Error
Invalid element "Movie" in context of "Question". Expected (Action,
Annotation, etc.etc) Nothing shows in any error report ... or validation
report. No idea where I might start looking.

Robert,

Are you able to reproduce the error with any regularity?

If so, you could always use the hard-core method of splitting your book in
half and doing whatever it takes to cause the error in the parts until you
narrow it down to one page. I've had to do that only a few times but it
always worked if I could repro the problem reliably.

HTH,

Peter H.

It does reappear with evey export. I may have to do as you say.

Just a guess, which will help you try to isolate it, but it would
appear that you've got a Media Player inside of a Question object
(group).

Ahhhh huh ... now that is something I can look into as I do have a bunch
of media players on a background. Thanks.

Lot's of media players will make your export slow and cause other
instability. If your media is sound only, you may want to consider using
pgSoundLoader() to play your media. That way you only need one object
reference and your book and export will go very fast with little or no
instability. Plus pgSoundLoader() will work in devices that do not
support windows media players or Flash as it fully supports HTML 5 code
to enable audio playback.

Just an idea.

And my first dumb question of the day ... this tool is part of the Powerpac?



(In the meantime for web-export I simply removed the page that had 6 UMP's
on it and had success ... not bad for the interim crisis of needing it for
my biology class today but not a long-term solution.)

YES! All PowerPac functions can be used in the actions editor by
dragging the "Execute Script" item from the "General" tab of the editor.
Then the dropdown list shows all the available functions from which you
can pick pgSoundLoader() and then with the Execute Script line
highlighted you can set the parameters that direct the function what to
do from by clicking in on the menu "Action" ... "Properties for Execute
Script Action".

If you need specific assistance, let me know as it seems you are pretty
new to using the actions editor for stuff like this.
