Flash :: How To Control Flash With Wireless Presenter?

Wireless Mouse Control
Hello,
I have created a presentation and I want to use one of these wireless mice to move forward or back in my presenation. I thought the mouse perhaps used the cursor key codes to move, so I tried this code. While the cursor keys now work on the keyboard the wireless mouse does not. Does anyone have an idea? I am using an ACOM DATA wireless mouse. But I think all operate in the similar fashion. It does work within Powerpoint.

myKey = new Object();
myKey.onKeyUp = function(){
if(Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT){
_root.mtClip.nextFrame();
}
};
Key.addListener(myKey);

nuKey = new Object();
nuKey.onKeyUp = function(){
if(Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT){
_root.mtClip.prevFrame();
}
};
Key.addListener(nuKey);

Thanks

[F8] Logitech Presenter 2.4 GHz And Flash
Hey all,

I am doing my initial reasearch on this topic for one of my clients. Has anyone successfully connected a Logitech Presenter 2.4GHz Wireless with any type of Flash? (browser, swf, exe... etc) I publish on OS X but my client is on XP.

I looked throughout Logitech's site and, of course, there isn't any mention of Mac support but with Flash, I'm guessing it shouldn't really matter. I will probably get access to an XP test laptop in a week or so but, again, I just started looking into this.

If you've reasearched this avenue before, I would love to hear some of the DOs & DON'T bothers.

Thanks all,

Flash Presentation Wireless Remote
Basically I'm looking to do flash presentations with a wireless remote control. Just like a powerpoint slide show presentation. I have a Keyspan Digital Media remote. Presentaions will be done off the desktop or off cd-rom. I do not want to use Power Point. Is there anyway of doing this in Flash just like a PowerPoint presentation? Is there any special code required? Thanks

Another Question....wireless Flash Interfaces..
Can you recommend sources of information to research creating Flash games for wireless cell phones?

From Adobe Flash To Articulate Presenter?
I created an animation in Adobe Flash that is 120 seconds long, 4.0 FPS, at 29.8s. I have one scene created and about 20 layers.

However, when I export as a movie (.swf file) so that I could import from Articulate Presenter then view it in Articulate Presenter, it plays EXTREMELY fast (the whole 120 second animation in about 30 seconds. I've adjusted the FPS and the S in Adobe Flash several times, then re-exported each time, but nothing seems to work.

Then I tried to 'Publish" my Flash animation instead of export as a movie. However, the same problem still exists.

All I want is for my animation to play at a normal pace while in Articulate Presenter. Any ideas??

Thanks.

Combining Flash And Wireless Presenters
Hey all!

I've a Kensington wireless presenter, to which I've mapped the buttons as being left:33, right:34 and enter:66 as corresponding codes from the keyboard.

I want these keys to switch on and off boolean operators on keyup/down events. That's the easy part.. except it registers fine using the buttons on the keyboard, when I use the wireless presenter, it toggles from true to false in a single click. The keyboard registers true when the key is held down, and false when the key is released... the presenter doesn't care if it's held down or not, it's just false

Is there a creative workaround for this?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a simple example that uses MVP in OO Actionscript (using listeners).
I can find examples, but they're a little too complex to learn it from.

Compositing Presenter Over Your App...
Everytime I take a look at the macromedia site of day there's often the talking presenter over the app background. Would like to know of any tutors on how to accomplish... Is it after effects, or is there some keyer ability in MX studio to assist ... Plus, what are the importer parameters that work best for speed, quality, best results. Are there server limitations also...

Thanks,

Xmlsocket With Wireless Connection
hi all,
i am using this code to connect to socket

Code:
function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
dispatcher.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, dataHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, connectHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closeHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
}

var socket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
configureListeners(socket);
socket.connect(ip, port);
when the ip is localhost there is no problems.
when i try to connect to another host for example 192.168.x.x with wired connection there is no problems, but with wireless i am getting security Error and securityErrorHandler function is being called.
thanks in advance.

Powerpoint And Video Of Presenter
Is it possible to use Flash, or any other Adobe software, to merge a powerpoint presentation with video/audio of the speaker who used the ppt presentation? What I'm looking for is a way to present both online (streaming) and on DVD, a window where the viewer can see (and hear) the presenter (speaker) next to a window where the ppt slides change automatically (synchronized).
I've some accross another software, the Softv Presenter (http://www.softv.net/Public/presenter4.asp), which can do what I'm looking for. However, since I already have Adobe's CS3 Web, Design and Production Premium suites, I was hoping that I could use what I already have to accomplish my task.

Sound Control With Pause Button As Well As Timeline Control
Hi there

I have a flash page, with a ambient track playing. I added a pause and play button. So you press the button then it stops, then you press it again then it plays...

So now i want to make it so that if you go to the 'WORK' page on the site, wich is on its own frame, and wich has different buttons linking to it, then i want the sound to switch off when i am on the work page as well.
So if the background ambient music plays, and you go to work then the sound switches off. Untill you switch it back on again
How is the best way for me to do that?

How Can I Control A Swf File Via RF Remote Control, Ala Powerpoint?
I have a Mac laptop and Honeywell RF remote that will control Powerpoint presentations. I'd rather make the presentations in Flash. The remote has three functions: last slide, next slide and blank screen. I have no idea what signals the remote sends for Powerpoint to read, but it must be pretty standard.

Does anyone know a way to code Flash so that it will respond to these commands the same as Powerpoint does... or is this a lost cause?

Thanx!

I Would Like To Externally Control Loading Flash Movies In To A Flash Player With Js
I am seeking assistance on loading a flash movie in to a set flash player, by externally selecting an html link. I am wondering if I need to set a javascript variable within my flash player to do this.

How Do I Control A Flash Movie From A Seperate Flash Navigation Bar. Actionscript?
I need to create a flash navigation that controls another flash movie in the middle of the screen. In other words, when someone clicks on a menu item it pulls up one of the frames in the flash movie. If you click on another item, it pulls up another frame in the flash movie and so on. The flash navigation bar is on the left and the movie is in the middle of the screen. I have both movies created, I just need to connect them. Are we talking about actionscript here? any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Flash MP3 Player And Separate Flash Movie Control
Hi Everyone,
I am not sure this has been talked about as I have looked into Mp3 stuff on this forum so here goes. I have a basic Mp3 player on an html page. It is the "Theron_Parlin-Mp3_Player-614" Player. Currently I have it playing as soon as someone hits the page. I want people to hear the comedian in the backgroun as they surf the site. I currently have two video pages, one with Quicktime, the other with Windows Media files. When a person clicks one of the video the appropriate player opens and plays the video. The problem I have is that I have to instruct my visitors to pause or stop the Mp3 player on the main page. I'd like to have the player pause on some type of mouse click in the Video sections.
I have given thought to taking the videos and just making them some sort of Flash video so that I can cut down on storage space and have more control over stopping the Mp3 player. The problem I have is that I am going to be using html pages as I am now and the site won't be a full Flash site(that will come later). I have no idea how to connect the two "players" in order to have control over how the play is stopped on the player. I want the Mp3's playing all of the time, unless there is user interaction. If a person clicks the new video files in some type of Flash file I want the Mp3's paused until each clip is complete. Then the Mp3 player will start back up. Is it possible?
I am thinking that I will have an html page with links to the Flash movies on a single page/player. How do I connect the two Flash entities to have control?

Thank you,
Don

Flash Swf Control
I'm doing a presentation from a laptop and projector. I start the SWF file. Instead of pressing the Alt-F key to go to full screen view and hidden menu bar, can I set the file up to do that automatically? I'd like to just click the SWF file and have it automatically be at full screen size with no menu bar. Help anyone?

Flash SWF Control
Ok, I got my first question answered (thanks to RoyalW!)

Tell me, is there a way to fast forward or rewind a SWF other than using Ctrl-> or Ctrl<-?

The basic controls are often too slow. What if I'm at frame 780 and want to get back to frame 200?

I know there's something about bookmarks, but is there another way that's similar to a VCR control?

Anyone?

But I’ve have been asked to put together a flash app that a user a select an graphic objects from a library and place then on a pre selected template, and be able to manipulate the object by clicking on them to select and drag it around the template, scale and change the alfer values.

Flash Control From PHP
What I am wanting to do is have a Flash movie with two frames.
Frame one contains a visitor's menu and frame two contains a member's menu.
Then, check to see if the person is logged in or not.
If they are, the movie goes to frame two, if not, it goes to frame one.

I can use this code to determine whether or not a user is logged in:

PHP Code:

<?
if($logged_in)
{
echo 'Logged In';
}
else
{
echo 'Not Logged In';
}
?>

I need to know how to:
a) Make this script output something that flash can recognise
b) Make flash check the status of the output then go to the correct frame

My Flash/PHP skills are not very good yet but this is how I learn.

Flash Vs MP3 Control
Hi
I know that we can control sound in Flash, but it's not possible to create a real MP3 player with a visual that follow the sound beat. I found a software that can convert MP3 into swf or flv to allow us to really control sound with variables that represent the spectrum values. I't a cool product, but If anyone has another to suggest, let me know. I really appreciate when I can compare more then one product and choose the one I prefer.

Control In Flash With XML?
Hi you all.

Can someone HELP me with this?

I have a Hierarchical Menu in Flash which loads from an XML file.
My problem is that i don't know how to script for one button (item) in order to have the action="getUrl" and also "gotoAndPlay" a specific frame.

What I mean is that for the same BUTTON I would like to load an HTML page and ALSO to make an action (gotoAndPlay) in the Flash movie.

Can somebody tell me an example script of how the XML should look??

my example:

<hiermenu method="1">
<dp title="false">
<item name="Home" sub="0" html="true" action="getURL" url="pages/home.htm" target="content"/>

HERE is where i still need the gotoAndPlay action for a certain frame in a certain movieclip.

THANX IN ADVANCE for any HELP

Control Flash From JS
Hi!

I have a couple of animations to be made in flash, the thing is I want JavaScript to trigger different animations based on a couple of (x)html element the user clicked on.

Right now IÂ´m using the IsPlaying(), TGotoLabel() and Play() calls from JavaScript to interact with Flash.
DonÂ´t know if this is a good way to go? Could not find any up to date information about this.

All comments, sugesstions and/or help is appreciated!

Best regards

Need To Control Flash To Flash On Same Html Page
I have two flash movies on the same html page separated by tables. I want a button in Flash movie 1 to send Flash movie 2 to a particular frame. I am not a programmer and specific code & gory details would be appreciated. I'd like to avoid using java if possible, any ideas??
Thanks

Can Non-flash Rollovers Control A Flash Movie?
I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the best way to make a flash movie that can interact with html links on a page. Basically there is a list of products (about 20) that are currently just html links. On the home page, the client has asked for a flash movie. When you roll over product items, the flash movie should jump to an animation relating to that product. These animations could all be built on the timeline of one flash movie, or could be multiple .swfs.

So far the best idea I can come up with is to have multiple swfs. I could potentially position each one absolutely so that they stack on top of each other. Then use CSS or javascript to change the stacking order when you rollover the links. This seems to be a rather cumbersome solution though, and I think there must be a more efficient way to do this.

Can anyone let me know if any of the following ideas might work?

- I have used javascript to make disjointed image rollovers, is it possible to mouseover a link and then swap a swf file?

- if you mouseover the link, can javascript send a variable to flash, and then have actionscript detect that variable and send the movie to the appropriate keyframe?

- Is it possible to achieve the effect I am looking for if you click the links instead of rollover them?

I am using flash cs3, so i can use actionscript 2 or 3.
What I am trying to avoid is creating the whole page in flash, as it would be inconsistent with the rest of the site.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Using Flash To Control An Intereactive CD
I can create a CD with an autorun.inf that loads up a flash projector no worries, but how do I get that flash projector to open up other flash projectors.

Example the CD starts on FlashIntro.exe
It has an intro then a menu to lead to different media, some HTML pages, MP3s, AVIs and other Flash Projectors.
How do I tell a button to go run another file.
Then how do I address that file in flash assuming it is in the same directory as FlashIntro.exe?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
