Technical Help

Some information on this site is presented in a 'streaming Flash' format. This media can be played, paused and re-played on the site as needed using the controls located below the small video screens on the page.

In some cases multimedia files may not function fully. This may be due to your computer configuration, a security setting or restrictions imposed on updating plug-in programs. A text version of multimedia presentations is provided wherever possible as an alternative.

What is Flash Streaming?

As video files are usually large in size they can cause delays in downloading and usually you have to wait for all of the file to download before you can play it. For this reason, we have chosen to 'stream' the video used on this website. When a file is 'streamed' it is passed down to your computer in smaller 'packets' that play as they arrive. Some delays may still occur between the arrival of the 'packets' particularly if you are using a low access modem (56K), however the delay will still be much less than the full file download time.

How to play Streaming Flash

In order for you to receive and view streaming Flash content, you will need to have a Flash Player (such as Adobe Flash Player) on your computer. These small plug-in programs are free and can be easily downloaded and installed from websites such as the Get Adobe Flash Player website. This website also provides help and support in using the Flash Player plug-in.

Download Video

To watch downloaded video files you require Windows Media Player for WMV files (Version for Macintosh users is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/default.aspx). Most PC's already have this player installed.

Why can't I get the video to play at work or school?

Sometimes a work or school may be behind a firewall, which in some circumstances can block streaming video content for prevent it from playing properly. You will need to contact your network administrator and seek their permission to allow video to be received.
