How do you link BrainPop movie?

[bwatzke]

I know how to link a webpage to an object on my flipchart. I need to know how to link a BrainPop movie so when you click on the link the movie will begin to play. When I click on the object, I am taken to the BrainPop Login page. It does this even though I am already logged in to BrainPop.

Is there a way to save the movie ? Once the movie begins to play, I would copy the url (address of the page of the browser (I.E. etc). I have a fiipchart with a United Streaming movie in it and it is an embedded document or file. So under actions you choose embedded document or file instead of open document or file. The issue is going to be the fact that you have to be a member of Brainpop and logged in, which you are. It may be a question for brainpop, to ask if there is anyway to include it in a flipchart.

You can't save Brainpop movies. I've embedded United Streaming and that has worked fine. I've found flipcharts on Promethean Planet that connect to Brainpop and the movie begins when you click on the link so I know that it can be done.

Thanks for your reply. :)

If you were to create a flipchart that links to BrainPop and I would use it in my classroom, I would have to have a BrainPop subscription in order to view the movie. The only way around this is if you link to one of their free movies. There isn't anyway to save the file or movie, unfortunately.

The best way to do this is to login to BrainPop before you teach your lesson and minimize it to the tray. Then once you click on your link to the movie it will go directly to the movie. Hope that helps.
