Hi Ian, I've used the PREPARE tags in the authoring of labs to add video (audio could be added in a similar fashion) if this fits the requirements
PREPARE coclass 'jvideo' coinsert 'jbrowser' t=:'YES'-: wd 'mb Test "Would you like to include Video?" mb_yesno' launch ^: t 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WCXLgaQ9es' PREPARE The above code is added so that all that is between the two PREPARE tags, is invisible to the viewer of the lab (with the exception of the message box and the video that is launched). This can be edited into the .ijt files of labs using the lab authoring tool in the studio menu, or with other text editors. I am also stumbling along trying to incorporate video into the J 701 JHS interface but haven't quite ironed out the boundaries between J and the web...yet :) Hope this helps.
