Screencasts

How to get a screencast onto the wiki:

Use the CamStudio SWF Producer to convert AVI files to the more compact SWF format.
SWF Producer generates both a video (.SWF) file and an HTML file
Rename the SWF file to your upi-n.swf, where your upi is your UPI and n is a small integer chosen by you to be distinct for each SWF file you produce
Edit the HTML file and make the following changes:

in the EMBED element, check the HEIGHT and WIDTH match the values given in the OBJECT element, changing the values in EMBED if necessary
in the EMBED element, change the SRC to: src="https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/courses/SOFTENG701/resources/your upi-n.swf"
find a suitable wiki page and paste in the portion of the HTML file from <OBJECT> to </OBJECT>. Put the tag <HTML> before this and </HTML> after.

Copy the SWF file to your intranet site (i.e. ~/../public.html/ on the Linux server), and email J.Hamer@cs.auckland.ac.nz, giving your UPI and the file name. I will then copy the file to the resources directory and email you when this is done.
For me to be able to copy the file, you must set up the ACL access permissions for your intranet site; see http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/tech-support/index.php/How_to_setup_your_university_intranet_webpage

Screencast Portfolio Organized using UPI

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If your screencasts are not loading, make sure you set movie parameter's VALUE the same as SRC. i.e. <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/courses/SOFTENG701/resources/...swf">

Here are the other changes you need to make, so that your screencast is visible

Change the HTML tags to 'html' tag and remove head and body tags (leave the embed and object tags as they are)
Make sure height in both the places is a small number, the code by CamStudio gives a HUGE number.

Hopefully, this will work.
