5. Elegant way to embed pencasts in web pages
- Elegant method that Chuck Duncan uses here: http://www.dl.ket.org/physicsap/physicsapPCast/tocPencasts.html
- Notice how he uses some custom JavaScript functions to open pages with pencasts on them.
-
Be sure to thank Chuck for figuring this out.
Common steps (old way)
-
Copy the set of code below for normal or large size and paste it into your favorite text editor (WordPad or TextPad).
-
Visit My LiveScribe - Find the pencast you want to embed.
-
Right-click to view source code, search for "flashXML?xml="
Note: Right-clicking to view source code in IE7 doesn't always work but it always works when using Mozilla FireFox.
Another reason to ask LiveScribe to share embed code eh?!
-
Copy the long string after this. Something like this: "0000C0A80115000009C5B6020000011A24F1741D0399FEB7"
-
Replace this string in your text editor in both places.
