This
description will add Multimedia Portion elements to
- Doc Example.ADsrc (source,
"W" in the icon).
- Doc Example.ADcomp (compiled, "P"
in the icon)
Both files can be found on the CD in the folder

There are several Multimedia Portion cases. The case "Text"
is the subject of example 19.
FIRST PART, WITHOUT REPETIONS
Do the following steps for this
AD group and hints
- Choose Static Text from the menu Create Element of
ADWorks and use its Definition for the first part of this
AD group.
- Choose Select Multimedia Portion from the menu Create
Element of ADWorks.
- Choose Validater from the menu Create Element
of ADWorks. See Result.
- Select the element Multimedia Portion and select the
Validater
to link them together.
- Use the Definition of the Multimedia Portion to define
his resource, the text AnimalFarmGeorgeOrwellRTF found at the above-indicated
location. (The text can be created by any text editor with abilities to
save a in RTF-format. ADWorks provides as well RTF-Editor, command File/RTF-Editor.
See
Illustration).
- Use the Evaluation of the Multimedia Portion to define
the "best" possibilitie. See Illustration
for first possibility. OK for "the pigeons fluttered up to the rafters"
and setting 4 points leads to this.
We want to define some possibilities with less points.
- To this 4 incomplete answers
we give 2 points and we add this
message.
- Choose, on the Settings tab of the Evaluation Dialog, the
Equality
Criteria like this. It
will be discussed below.
- Use the Evaluation of the Static Text to define the
portions of Referenced Text.
- Add hints to the Validater. See
Illustration.
We are ready jump to ADPlayer to test the Multimedia Portion,
case Text. See AD group
and hints
SECOND PART, WITH REPETIONS
Important preliminary note (similar to note in example 18)
:
1) On this
illustration from example 3 you see a Text Write Box with 3
Repeating
Fields (3 answers are asked). It is strait forward to the user of ADPlayer
what he has to do in the case of repeated Text Write Boxes or repeated
Choose
Boxes.
2) It is probably not
strait forward in the case of repeated Multimedia Portion
elements.
The Static Text must clearly explain to
the user, what he has to do. See
the example of Multimedia Portion (case Text) with repeating fields
that will be created here below.
3) Questions with Multimedia Portion (case Picture) with
repeating fields can easily be by passed with
Moving
Elements. Examples
with Moving Elements (target is text, see Example 2) will show how
to by pass
the present example.
The creation of the present
AD group needs the following steps:
- Choose Static Text from the menu Create Element of
ADWorks and use its Definition for the first part of this
AD group.
- Choose Select Multimedia Portion from the menu Create
Element of ADWorks.
- Choose Validater from the menu Create Element
of ADWorks. See Result.
- Select the element Multimedia Portion and select the
Validater
to link them together.
- Use the Definition of the Multimedia Portion to define
his resource, the text AnimalFarmGeorgeOrwellRTF found at the above-indicated
location. (The text can be created by any text editor with abilities to
save a in RTF-format. ADWorks provides as well RTF-Editor, command File/RTF-Editor.
See
Illustration).
- Use the Evaluation of the Multimedia Portion to define
the possibilities. See Illustration
for first possibility. Repeat that operation for all appearing
names. Note: some names (e.g. "Boxer") are mentioned more than once. Wee
choose them all (12 possibilities), as we don't now which one the user
will mark. But: we declare them as the same possibility. See also
Example 3, different writings for the same town. See
Illustration and its comments.
- Define the number of Repeating Fields on the Settings
tab of the Evaluation Dialog. Choose 8 if you want the user to find them
all. There are 12 possibilities, but some possibilities define the same
name. This reduces the maximum number to 8. Note: See
Illustration. The Equality Criteria will be discussed below.
- Use the Evaluation of the Static Text to define the
portions of Referenced Text.
We are ready jump to ADPlayer to test the Multimedia Portion,
case Text. See Illustration.
This document is saved saved with the name Doc Example.ADsrc
(with a "W" in the icon).
The compiled file is Doc Example.ADcomp (with a "P" in
the icon)
SECOND PART, Discussion
1) Equality Criteria
The controllers for the Equality Criteria are located on the
Settings
tab of the Evaluation Dialog. Observe them on this
illustration (on top to the right). The two check boxes are checked,
each with a tolerance of 1. This means:
The left border and the right border "must" be selected correctly by
the use and 1 character is the tolerance (e.g. for space accidentally
selected).
Only one border must be selected correctly if only one check box is
checked.
The following convention apply if none of them is checked: The middle
of the selection must be inside.
2) Modifications of the text.
The possibilities in the Evaluation Table are the characters of the
text. You will probably need to define the possibilities again when you
change the text. ADWorks emits a warning when he detects that kind of changing.
Note, Choose Box are "cool" : When the writing of an item in
the list of a Choose Box is changed, then the Evaluation Table is
automatically adapted.
