Position of Background Images/HTML

[Mary]

Hello All,

I am still working on trying to get the position size to work for two things:

1) background HTML
2) movie

I would like to try to use the % percentage since I'm building this on one machine and running it on another.

The position doesn't seem to be working right, and for the life of me, I cannot figure this out.

Two files to look at (where I've stripped things down for purposes of illustration).

1) movie.que. The problem? The position isn't where I think it should be. Also, the HTML doesn't seem to wrap at all. There are two different possible positions included in there.

2) funny videos.que. The problem? The video isn't in the position where I would assume it should be. Also, as an aside, when I first run this questionnaire, the video is black (but the sound is there). Upon second running, however, the video will be there consistently.

There are other questions, too.

1) Sometimes when I save a revised questionnaire in the experiment editor, the revisions don't seem to be reflected when I test in media lab using CNTL-R. I have to go and explicitly ask to test this questionnaire using the dialogue boxes.

2) When I use the "Show Location Points" and the "Sizing Movies and Images" dialogue box in medialab, the image jumps to the upper right hand corner of the screen immediately. Is this the way it's supposed to work? I'm having so many problems trying to get the location right that I'm now wondering.

BTW, this is happening on more than one machine now. I originally built it at home and it looked ok. Took it to school and it's off. Tried to fix it at school and its not right. Brought it home and it's still not right.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

Kind regards,

Mary

Hi All,

I'm still unable to get the top and left position thing to work using the percentage. For example, the parameter t.45 puts that image/text or whatever I'm trying to position about 80% down the page. I'm at a loss after working on this since last night.

If anyone has any questionnaire where they have done this successfully and can send me as an example, I would be very grateful. My e-mail is mbo@psu.edu.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Mary
