Text and image query

Asked by DaveB

I'm running a text welcome screen and wondered if it is possible to add an image next to some text.

For example we have 4 different country names and I wanted to put a flag jpeg image next to each country name so that it is visible as each text peace scrolls along the screen in ticker mode.

Many thanks

Hi Dave,
You would need to refer to your image manually in the text html (text is just html behind the scenes). The images would need to be on the server at the moment, and wouldn't play offline.

Cheers,
Dan

Thanks Dan.

I have the images stored on the server, which is the 'C' drive of the PC. Am using win client 1.4.2.

How would I like these images?

#link the images into the text ticker?

You would need to link them directly using an image tag, something like <img src="C:/images/image1.png">. If you wanted something cleverer you would probably have to publish your own RSS feed with those images inside them.

Hi Dan,

I am using the CKEditor to have my own scrolling text. Such as Welcome to the UK

I have the UK flag stored on the C drive of the PC and wish to have that show up after the word UK.

At the moment when I open the CKEditor I select the item that says Source.

I then add in this <img src="file://c:/images/uk flag.jpg">

I then save this and run the player, unfortunately I get a box outline with red X.

How to I actually tag the image on my c drive into the CKEditor?...is it via the linkLink button or something?

Many thanks
