Here are the answers to the questions we did not have time for during the Ask the Experts session in Boston.


Why do some sound links work and some not? Same for Video?
There is a variety of reasons why the links would not work. I would check to make sure the action is still set correctly. Then make sure your actions are turned on. Finally, I would check to make sure that the video/sound is embedded into the page. If none of these work, then please post the sound/video you want to link to, here on the Forum, and we can work through the problems and come up with a solution.
How much does a set of 32 Expression Cost? When and Where is the next Promethean User Summit?
For any price questions, the best person to ask would be your Promethean Area Manager or your local reseller. If you are not sure who these people are or how to get in contact with them, please post here, and we can help you out. As for the next Activ08 User Group............I don't want to give away any secrets, but keep posted to Planet, as this is where the new dates and places of Activ08/09 User Groups will be posted. :-) For more info on Expression, go to; http://www.prometheanworld.com/us/server/show/nav.6124

Tell us about Activsound. When will it be released? What is the cost? Can it be used with exisiting sound setup or are new speakers and tuner needed?
Activsound has been released! All the info can be found at - http://www.prometheanworld.com/us/server/show/nav.6125.
Thank you again for attending the Activ08 Boston User Group. I hope the Ask the Experts session helped out. And remember, that this session is never over here on the forum. If you have more questions, just post on this thread and one of the MANY experts on Planet will give you a great answer! [clap]

Sometimes when I have a sound file attached it will work fine for a while, and then it will start working for part of the sound...when the bar goes across the Sound Controller the sound stops partway through. The bar still moves; the sound plays for the first part, the the sound stops, and the bar continues moving.

This happens often enough that I would like to stop the problem from happening rather than always having to reset the sound file.

Also...sometimes video files just don't play. They will play...then they won't. Actions are enabled. The blue action arrow show up...but no video. The link appears to be intact...but no video.

I am using Activstudio 3 on a MacBook running System X.

Any ideas?
