Rich Media Elements 

Rich Media Elements are layered over static content. A PDF of the full background page is always required because if the appropriate plug-in for the RME is not available only the static content will display. Avoid placing Rich Media Content at the right edge for right-read pages and left edge for left-read pages. RME may not span across multiple PDF pages such as spreads. NO STREAMING MEDIA.

Rich Media File Formats

• Animation: Flash Player version 5 or lower - All links within the Flash file must be full path (e.g. http://www.currencytradermag.com/index). The .swf file must be self-containing. Avoid actions such as "Load movie" that call to other files.
• Audio: MP3 - Encode using 96 kilobits-per-second and above, using stereo mode and with constant bit-rate on.
• Video: MPEG1 (.mpeg/.mpg) - Encode using resolution around 352x240 at 350 kilobits-per-second and above. The audio section should be done at 96 kilobits-per-second and above, using stereo mode and with constant bit-rate on.
