Show flash movies on questionnaire viewer

Challenge

In order to view multiple flash movies in questionnaire viewer (which is similar to flash movies we already have in my portal, for further information please look at: http://wiki.catglobe.com/index.php/Movie_player_element)

 

As a questionnaire creator

I want to show a list of supported flash movies by Catglobe

Example

I have an single grid question like below

Solution

• Upload the new flash movies to the CG server (or any resource you want) and get their links

• Create a new single grid question named
  *Add javascript to the question to show a list of flash movies on above of grid

Code

var MovieclipViewer3 =
{
      onInit: function(clip, element, linkText)
      {
            MovieclipViewer3.flash = CGFlashPlayers.initialize("xpflash", "http://fire.catglobe.com/Script/CGFlashPlayer/CGFlashPlayer.swf", 298,265);
            $(element).html(MovieclipViewer3.flash.toString());
            MovieclipViewer3.flash.ParentDom = $(element);

            var p = $("<p>");
            $(p).append($("<u>" + linkText + "</u>").css("cursor","pointer").css("font-style", "italic").click(
                     function()
                     {
                                 getPlayList();
                     }
             ));
            $(element).append($("<br/>"));
            $(element).append($(p));
            $(element).append($("<br/>"));

            MovieclipViewer3.flash.visiblePlaylistButton(false);
            MovieclipViewer3.flash.visibleControlBar(false);
            MovieclipViewer3.flash.registerEvent(CGFlashPlayers.Events.OnPlayListReady, MovieclipViewer3.onPlayListReady);
