Play Powerpoint Presentation...
Hi All,I'm very new to flash in general never mind CS3, so please go easy. I have a two buttons that when clicked need to display a page in a browser (which I've done, no problems there), but the other is supposed to display a powerpoint presentation. I've been looking at the fscommand and been quite confused by the need for a projector and the fact that 'the application' needs to be in a sub directory. I'm also beginning to think that fscommand won't be suitable anyway as, if I read it correctly, you need to deliver the projector to everyone viewing the swf file. Is there a way to get a press of this button to display the presentation - this could either be in the powerpoint application itself or a web browser?Thanks in advance.

Powerpoint Like Presentation
If anyone can help, I'm trying to make a file that I can use to make presentations for my company without using powerpoint. I have it setup so each slide is marked on the timeline with a Frame label (so the slide can run however long it needs to), but I want to use a navigation where I can press 'b' 'Backspace' and 'Left' to rewind the movie to the previous slide and stop and press the mouse button to play again. I have all the slides starting with frame labels and but I can't seem to get keyPress to detect when the keys are hit and send them to the previous frame label. any ideas?

Hi "Flashers",
What are your thoughts on the best way to include a PowerPoint Presentation in a Flash MX site? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

PowerPoint-ish Presentation.
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on doing an official slideshow-type presentation for MX 2004. Maybe someone who's done one before could offer any advice? Or help on the following:
- Sound cues & narration(although I don't foresee any issues)
- Integrating both an auto-play and interactive version without making duplicate scenes
- VCR-type controls
So... I'm just going to jump into this, but I'll check back to see if anyone has a better idea than what the average beginner would do to go about these. It'd be great if I could figure out a way to name a variable which dictates whether the movie will play through automatically or wait for certain buttons to be pressed.
Thanks in advance.

I have been asked to turn a powerpoint prestention into a flash presentation
I've imported the PP slides.
The problem is that each slide, or frame as it is now, has several bullet points which the client wants to slide in , or fade in, when the space bar is hit, or something similar - the way it would work in PP.
Can anyone recommend a good way to do that?
There are heaps of bullet points throught out the presenation so I dont want to be doing heaps of tweening etc.

Powerpoint Presentation Type Functionality - Help Please
Hello!
I am creating a flash-powered presentation based on the standard presentation templates provided by Macromedia Flash MX.
The standard template provides you with the ability to move to the next slide. I have added a layer to provide a base for sound, and have actually managed to embed a wav file!
What I would like to do is :
Add Pause/Play functionality. This would pause the sound and resume when play is hit.
Auto-cue to the next slide after an "x" second time period has elapsed after the sound has finished.
When using the standard forward/backwards buttons, delay sounds for "X" seconds.
Can someone give me some pointers here, please?
Standard code is below.
Cheers
Chris

onClipEvent (load) {

How To Import A PowerPoint Presentation To Flash
A very useful tip:
You can't do it directly, but you can save the files in WMF format and import them into Flash. Here's how:
· In PowerPoint, choose File > Save As.
· In the Save as type drop-down list, choose WMF (a vector format) and click Save.
· When asked if you want to save all the slides, say you do (if that's what you want). PowerPoint saves all the slides in a separate folder.
· Open your Flash movie and click the first keyframe where you want to start.
· Choose File > Import. Find the files in the folder and click the first one. They'll be named slide1.wmf, slide2.wmf, and so on. Click Open.
· When Flash asks you if you want to import the entire sequence, click Yes. Flash imports each slide onto consecutive frames.
Because you're importing a vector format, you can edit all the objects and the text in Flash!

PowerPoint Navigation Issue In Presentation
Hi there, I would like to know how to create and manage multiple internal links that will easily navigate me to any slides in presentation. I'm tired of its original "Go to Slide" feature in PowerPoint if there're enormous slides here. But I don't want to create too many links in each page for navigation.
By the way, I found a tool called Wondershare PPT2Flash which can made slide thumbnails in presentation, see below:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/ppt2flash_std/powerpoint-to-flash-sample1.jpg[/IMG]

I meant navigation in presentation like this, but it was Flash slideshow made from PowerPoint. Is it possible to do this in PowerPoint?
Thanks.

Best Flash Tool For Presentation (instead Of Powerpoint)
hi guys, i want to make my final thesis presentation for college in flash but was wondering if i should do it in some other program like Director (ive never used it). Thought it would be nicer than just a boring PowerPoint slide show.

Embedding Flash Into Powerpoint Presentation
Hi - I have a Flash piece that (1 main swf and 6 scene swfs) that is now to be embedded in a Powerpoint presentation. The lady doing the embedding is in Paris, and is having trouble. Specifically, the movie begins to play, but stops soon after. I published a projector .exe for this, but am now wondering - should I treat this as if I were publishing for CD-ROM, full on with an autorun file, etc.? I have used Toast Titanium in the past when prepping a cd-rom presentation, but a) I've never worked with a multiple-swf file in this regard, and b) I am in the DARK when it comes to powerpoint - I have no idea about its capabilities and limitations when embedding Flash.
She mentioned also that the text is disappearing, a sure indicator that I need to bundle the Flash Player 8 with the thing. Any words of advice from previous experience, or general direction, or links would all be greatly appreciated...thanks.
Launch External Powerpoint Presentation Using AS 2.0?
I was just wondering whether to headbutt the wall, or share my dilemma... Ok, here goes:
In older versions of Flash (eg; MX, publishing as AS1.0), the following script would allow me to launch a Powerpoint '.pps file':
on (release) {
getURL("powerpoint.pps");
}
Displaying the movie in a browser, with a .swf file inside an .html page (running from a local disk or USB-Key), the presentation would load directly to fullscreen - perfect!
Then along came the wonderful Flash 8 Pro! Tons of great stuff now available, but now the same link loads the presentation into the browser. Not so great! Hitting the back button reverts the movie to the initial intro sequence. So, I tried loading it into a "_blank" page. Good, but toolbars everywhere. So I figured I'd try loading a page that fills the screen, then redirects to the powerpoint - but it's all too damned messy, especially considering it worked perfectly before!!!
So, I tried another angle:
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "powerpoint.pps");
}
Alas, no joy there either. Either it's a mess, or it's a mess. Bad.
So, anyone have any suggestions? Whenever I try to load a sized external .html pop-up, I always seem to end up with pages that don't load properly... if someone has a script that would load an external .html page without toolbars etc. - and a reliable one at that - please let me know! Better yet, a script that will load the freakin' Powerpoint file so it can load itself fullscreen over the top of the browser, so when it's closed, everything is as it was on the last click!!!

Transition Suggestions For A Powerpoint-Style Presentation
Hi guys. I need a little help here:
I am making a Powerpoint-Style presentation, and have chosen to do it in Flash. That part's not a problem. I want to make it look good, and flow well, so I will need to use fluid, subtle transitions. I can make the transitions, I just don't know what to make :P.... I'm just not sure what transitions to use. I probably haven't thought of them all either.
Any transition suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I will also need a good, soothing/subtle background color for the presentation, so any suggestions on that would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sportzguy933
P.S.
I've looked at most of the "Flash Presentation" transition effects, and personally, I don't like them too much, they're just too akward and abrupt.
Also, I'm looking for "in" transitions, not out.
(Thanks again!)
Powerpoint Presentation With Embedded Flash On Web Page
I am creating a web-based presentation with Powerpoint 2003 and embedded videos in .swf and .wmv formats. They work fine on my new computer that has Windows Vista, but neither work on other Windows Vista computers or even other less-new computers that have Explorer 4 - 7. I have tried just about everything but the one that works. I need to know the "secret". Many thanks. Jeff
Faux Powerpoint Presentation Imbeded In Site
Hi all!
I'm currently working on a website where the concept is an outdated board room, you click "slideshow" and a powerpoint presentation begins. The presentation should take up a 350 px X 200 px "box" in the middle of the board room graphic. It should look like a .ppt presentation and advance to the next "slide" with a by clicking on the movie. I want to use Powerpoint-esque cheesy transitions.
Anyway, my question is, I know there are lots of Powerpoint to Flash convertors available, do any of them allow you to output a scalable flash movie of the presentation? Does anyone know of a slideshow .fla that is easily modified to just be an image slideshow that would function like a .ppt presentations. All the ones I've played with have fwd/back toolbars and other things I can't seem to make disapear.
Anyone have any ideas? Would breeze allow me to make a scalable presentation without slide outline, etc visible?

Flash 8 Pro Presentation Mode.. Mc's Don't Play On New Slide?
I am trying my hand at using Flash 8 Pro's "presentation" feature.. It's pretty slick in that it lets you "layer" slides based on slide-spanning topics, but it also deviates a bit from regular Flash behavior, and I am having a hard time achieving a specific behavior:
In each slide (not nested), I wish to introduce a new movie clip. This movie clip runs for a few internal frames and stop()'s at the last frame. What I don't get, however, is why does only the first slide's instance animate? Subsequent slides' copies of the mc freeze on the last (stopped) frame and don't animate.
(see fla in attached zip)
What's more, why don't the movie clips replay when I visit a played slide?
And why does my actionscript in frame1 of Slide2 get evaluated in frame1 of Slide1?? I would expect my trace() in Slide2 to get called only on play of Slide2...
Doing A Flash Presentation With Audio And Would Like Tips On Pause-play-stop Buttons
yeah im doing a project for Nokia and it requires about 3 mins of spoken audio in it..
anyhow its quite straight forward..some bar graphs..text and speak.
But i havent really done a project like this before exactly so i basically need it to work so that you are able to stop or pause the speak at any given moment..then be able to play(continue from where you stopped and left off) and be able to skip back or fwd thru-out the speak.
I think i will split up the 3 mins of speak into several smaller bits instead of having 1 great long wav on timeline..might be best????
But does anyone have any good tutorials..or open FLAS for me to see how this could best be done..
Id be very greatful!!
Cheers!

Creating Play/Pause Toggle Buttons Controlling Slide Presentation Timeline
Need guidance in creating Action Script to create a single button on a Flash Slide Presentation screen that toggles between Play and Pause icons and functions controlling timeline playback, just as happens on the Flash Media Controller panel when playing back a video clip. I assume this would involve a Component button, but not sure how to assign icons and functions to the toggle states.
[F8] Convert PowerPoint To Flash--PowerPoint Slide Show To Web Page
Convert PowerPoint to Flash--PowerPoint slide show to web page
Lots of beautiful or useful PowerPoint slide show can be placed on our websites with the popular Flash movie format. If you are a webmaster who is good at PowerPoint or have PowerPoint presentations to share with others, you will be interested in this article.
Of course you can put the PowerPoint presentation on a site directly as a normal PowerPoint PPT or PPS file. The file can be downloaded and viewed by customers who have Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer installed on their computers. But, does everyone have PowerPoint on their computer? Of course not! Thus this way is not proper to widely distribute your PowerPoint presentations.
Let’s consider the method that converting the PowerPoint presentations to html pages? Obviously by this way we can get directly html web pages to put in our web space. But the html format can not obtain the animations and transitions of the original PowerPoint presentation. And the kind of html pages may make our web site very slow!
What is the best way to distribute the PowerPoint presentation in the internet？To reply this question, there are three aspects should be taken to consideration:
1, Obtain the PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Easy to add to the web page.
3, Protect the author copyrights
Then which format is the best choice? HTML, PPS/PPT , or Flash? Obviously Flash is the best format which can fulfil above requirements
Advantage for converting PowerPoint to flash:
1, Preserve the original PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Reduce up to 90% of the PowerPoint file size.
3, Password protect the output Flash presentation. No one can edit it except the author.
4, Embed the Flash anywhere, create beautiful web page.
5, Small size file is easy to be emailed to others.

Add effects to football (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Fly in.
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> Spin.
3) Add Effect -> exit -> Spiral out.
4. Insert a text box and input the sentence ““Let's publicize world cup's energy together!” in it. Add effects to the text box (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want
5. Insert the photos and add effects to photos (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit)

Ok, our PowerPoint banner is finished, but how to convert it to flash banner and to embed it to web?
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_05.gif[/IMG]
Yes, this tool – Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional will take up the final work.
Download from http://www.********.com/index.php?sid=6
You have two options: PPT2Flash Standard Edition and PPT2Flash Professional Edition.
After installation, you have two modes to operate this software:
1)With the shortcut icon from your tabletop. Double click it.
2)With the PPT2Flash’s plug-in mode, launch the Microsoft PowerPoint, it will show in the menu bar:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_07.gif[/IMG]
Menu of PPT2Flash:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_08.gif[/IMG]
You may Record Narration, Import Audio, Edit Audio, Insert Flash, Add Attachments, select Templates to your flash.
Ok, that’s all. I really hope you understand what I have written in this article.
Writing a tutorial isn’t a comfortable job. Does it suit you? Useful for you?
Is this article excellent or not? I am not sure. But I wrote it with my heart, really.

Resume Play Than Restart Play On The Play Button.
I have this script that works but it keeps on starting from the start of the song, than resume from where I stopped it.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("audio/track.mp3", true)
stopbtn.onRelease = function()
{
trace("sound stopped");
myMusic.stop();
};
playbtn.onRelease = function()
{
trace("sound played");
myMusic.start();
};
How do I change this code to resume when pressing the play button than starting from the start of the song. I guess it be more like a pause button than a play button.
