Advance fullscreen presentation on mouseclick? (i.e. like PowerPoint)

Hey,
I have created a full screen presentation in flash but I need
it to advance on a basic mouse click (just like it does natively in
PowerPoint). Normal back and forward buttons are not suitable.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Simple. If you want to be able to click anywhere on the
screen and go forward then:
Just make a large transparent movie clip called eg button_mc
to cover the entire stage.
Then add some actionscript to the main timelime which will
make the movie go to the next frem. eg
button_mc.onRelease = function(){
nextFrame();

  • Make Captivate behave more like Powerpoint?

    Hey all,
    I'm working on a project where we want to use Captivate as our platform (so it's HTML-friendly and responsive), but we'd like for it to behave more like Powerpoint. The two main features we'd like to have are:
    Allow for a mouse-click anywhere on the screen and/or keyboard shortcut to advance the presentation, rather than having to click a specific button to continue
    Allow for there to be objects that appear in succession on the same slide. If there's a square, a circle, and a triangle on a slide, what's the best process for having them fade in one at a time? It seems like click boxes and pausing might be the way that we have to do this, but I'm hoping there's an easier alternative. (or one that makes more sense to me)
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You need only a click box if you want to control the appearance of the next object by a click. If they can appear automatically after each other (in sequence, is also possible in PPT) you don't need click boxes. Here is a pretty complicated example, where I needed clicks for a presentation on an Adobe Summit:
    You see 4 click boxes, which I put on top of each other on a specific location of the slide, which is possible because they are staggered, not active at the same moment. They have the action 'Continue'. I didn't put them over the whole slide, because there was also a shape button functioning as Next button that is not visible here because it is on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.

  • Pages Viewer, like PowerPoint Viewer

    I'd like to be able to create a presentation with Pages and save it to CD.
    Is there a Windows based Pages Viewer, like PowerPoint Viewer, that I could add to the CD to view the presentation on a Windows machine?
    Thanks.
    G4 PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello TomMoran,
    why don't you use Keynote for the presentation, because it is made for that purpose?
    You can export a Pages document to PDF and that Windows user can watch with the Acrobat Reader. Pages documents can only be read with Pages on Macs. With Keynote you can export simple presentations to Powerpoint files so Windows user can watch the presentation as that. And more general you can export a Keynote file to a (clickable = interactive) QuickTime movie, so all can watch it, because the QuickTime player is free for Mac and for Windows.

  • Can't get Trial Presenter 9 to show up in PowerPoint

    Went the route of Options and Add-ins in PowerPoint, but Presenter doesn't show up anywhere. It seems to be installed because I can run Presenter Video Creator 9. Presenter 8 worked fine in PowerPoint and I uninstalled it before installing 9. Add-in function in PowerPoint just can't find it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi,
    Make sure you have installed 32-bit Presenter if you have 32-bit Powerpoint. If you would have installed 64-bit Presenter for 32-bit Office then you would land up in this situation.
    Let me know whether this helped.
    Thanks,

  • Does Keynote have an equivalent 'viewer' like  Powerpoint viewer?

    Does Keynote have an equivalent 'viewer' like  Powerpoint viewer?  How can I share my Keynote files with other non-Keynote folks?

    As of July 31, 2012, you will no longer be able to access your documents on the iWork.com site or view them on the web.
    Now use iCloud instead: http://www.apple.com/icloud/
    However, you must have an Apple device to create an iCloud account so Windows only users need to get to one before accessing your files.
    About iCloud Control Panel for Windows v1.1
    The iCloud Control Panel is required to use Photo Stream, Mail, Contacts and Calendars (Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later required) and Bookmarks (Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later required).
    Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later.

  • How to edit head tag for fullscreen presentation

    Hello! I'm making a presentation and as such I would like to open fullscreen in safari. I have read some posts in various places suggesting the use of <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> , but for that I have to include the code in the <head> section of the html, and I can't find the way to edit the head within Edge Animate. I tryed editing Edge's resulting .html file, but when I do it manually then my project within Edge gives me errors.
    1- How can I insert, within Edge, elements in the head section of the html file?
    2- Does anyone knows how can I open a fullscreen (chrome-less, toolbar-less) html5 presentation on an iPad 2?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    You could add it, as you did, in the final html-file if you are happy with the content and won't need Animate anymore for the specific element you've created. I've only used or rather tried out this app for a couple of days now but that is how I use it.
    Since jQuery is included you could try this;
    $('head').append("<meta name='apple-web-app-capable' content='yes'>") ;
    view the code in 'window -> code' up in the right corner press 'View full code' skimm trough the code and there is a line that says "...Paste code here bla..."
    Hope it helps.

  • Photoshop not presenting alpha channel as expected (like I'm seeing GIMP does)

    Greetings,
    I have a need to edit the channels independently (the values in my image mean things numerically rather than just what it looks like visually - so I need to edit the grayscale values in each of the R - G - B - and A channels seperately).
    I've searched through google and other forum posts and others bring up the concept of not understanding alpha versus transparency - but I have yet to see an explanation that fully explains what I'm experiencing.
    The closest was http://forums.adobe.com/message/2563436#2563436 But while I saw the exact same symptoms being described, the specific question was never really answered.
    Hopefully, a concrete example with pictures will be able to communicate the issue and solicit a useful explanation and/or solution.
    While, I'm specifically working with an RGBA image, below is a screenshot of a PNG that demonstrates the exact same behavior or symptom.  The screenshot below represents the PNG inside GIMP and PS CS4.  BTW, if you'd like to see or play with the image yourself, you can grab the same image at http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/img_png/imgcomp-440x330.png
    GIMP, interestingly enough loads the PNG as expected - I see the transparency of the image treated as a true alpha channel.
    In PS CS4 however, the transparency seems to be somehow embedded in the Red - Green - and Blue channels; but NO seperate alpha channel.
    I can create the alpha channel through Select - Load Selection - Layer 0 Transparency - and pasting that into a newly created alpha channel - but the color channels still have the transparency mixture symptom - rather than showing the JUST the color component of that channel.  (Note the channel differences of the GIMP's Red Channel versus PS's Red Channel  - Said in another way, the yellow ball in the upper left of the image should have a red value of 255, so the Red Channels grayscale upper left ball should be white like it is in GIMP, rather than Gray as it is in PS).
    I never thought I'd experience GIMP being superior to Photoshop - so hopefully somebody can shed light on what is going on - what configuration I may have myself in - or a process to get the channels seperated out in the manner I wish to work with them.   Furthermore, maybe somebody can educate the Photoshop community what the difference between transparency and alpha[transparency] is.  I haven't found quite the right explanation that makes the light go off in my head yet.  As best as I have gleened "Alpha", which can be applied to any kind of channel, typically is in reference to transparency - and is applied as a document-whole transparency (as opposed to transparencies applied at a layer level - such as a layer mask).

    I think I've finally determined that modern Photoshops have gone in a different direction that I feel "Alpha" should be done.
    (good or bad).
    Here are the steps and/or details of how I arrived at that conclusion.
    If nothing else this has been very educational on how Photoshop treats alpha.
    - Import your alpha'd PNG with SuperPNG format (see above on how to make sure you use the SuperPNG plugin to load the .png).
    - In the SuperPNG dialog select "Alpha appears as seperate channel"
    - Create a layer from the Background and Delete the original Background
      (since the Background is locked and we can't edit the Background - we want to add a layer mask based on the alpha)
    - Ctrl-Left Select the "Alpha 1" channel - Ctrl-C - and hit the "Add Layer Mask" button (square with the circle at the bottom of the LAYERS rollout)
    - For this demo and clarity, I went ahead and deleted the alpha "Alpha 1" that came in through the SuperPNG plugin
    So now I have the Layers like I kindof expected the main document to just come in as (kindof though - it is presented in a Layer Mask rather than Alpha Channel).
    What is interesting - which you'll see if you toggle the layer mask on and off
    (shift-click the mask thumbnail in the layer)
    Note how the thumbnails in the channel views render differently during the toggle.
    When the mask is off you see the individual color channels like I expect - black where there is an absence of that color.
    However when you enable the layer mask - the individual color channels show in semi-transparent/checkerboard.
    So this is exactly how the color channels are presented when loading in a .png (WITHOUT the SuperPNG plugin) or an .rgba
    ..you get the semitransparent views of the color channels - BUT the difference is - you have no way to directly see or edit the Alpha channel.
    nor are the color channels represented as completely opaque versions.
    What is really interesting - it is there though - if you Ctrl-Left Select the layer, Ctrl-C, and "Add Channel Mask" - you'll get the Alpha mask.
    HOWEVER, the big issue is that you can't toggle or edit the Color-Channels like the Layer counterpart above;
    they are ALWAYS the semitransparent/checkboard version;  AND now we basically are double applying transparency
      (due to the still embedded alpha/transparency AND the newly create "Alpha 1" channel)
    I think this a bug (or a poor reimplementation of modern Photoshop releases; I believe older Photoshops used to break out Alpha in the "arguably correct" way - and in fact the way GIMP currently does).
    Or maybe there are other explanations - like abstracting some of this complexity away from less advance users, etc?
    So the SuperPNG plugin was useful in experimenting, understanding, and demonstrating what is going on.
    However, if I'm trying to read in .rgba directly, I don't think I have a way of making the "Alpha appear as a seperate channel" as I think any image with "alpha" component should.
    (png, tiff, rgba, etc).

  • Keynote presentation like powerpoint

    I recently built this great presentation in keynote. When I went to present it I got the mini-dvi to vga connector and hooked it up to the projector which worked fine. Running the presentation though none of my page transitions ran correctly and some of the other character transitions did not run correctly either. I specifically want to run keynote versus powerpoint because I didn't want any issues, yet I had them. Can anyone help me figure this out? Could it have been the projector?

    I didn't know anything about mirrored or spanning. What I could see on the laptop I think was the same thing that was going showing in through the projector. I remember when I loaded the presentation up that it took a long time and when the presentation was over and I was shutting down, it asked me if I wanted to save the file. I didn't change anything so it shouldn't have asked me that. So something happened that shouldn't have.
    I have not tried it again on another monitor yet. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem like this.
    PS- sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

  • Control presentation like powerpoint ones

    Hello together,
    I'm working with Captivate 5 for some days now, and the new features are quite impressive. So I'd like to realize my normal powerpoint presentations with Captivate 5. Is there a way, that a presentation behaves like a common powerpoint presentation?
    I already disabeled the controlbar during runtime, that it looks like a common presentation.
    Slides and other parts of the animation shouldn't proceede automatically, only by user-interaction, that I can click for example like, when I'm finished with talking about the current slide, or object of a slide.
    Greetings,
    TheCellarGuardian

    Hello again
    Note that you can save some time by working as follows:
    1. Insert a Click Box programmed to Go To the Next Slide. Position as desired.
    2. Copy the Click Box to the Windows Clipboard.
    3. Select the remaining slides and paste.
    Repeat the steps above for the Click Box that is programmed to Go To the Previous Slide.

  • BO Advance analysis 1.1.4,  Info Field like Last Data Update Table

    Hi Experts,
    I am using BO Advance analysis 1.1.4 for reporting output. There we have option to show Info Field like Last Data Update.
    It is using this function to get that info :
    =SAPGetSourceInfo("DS_1", "LastDataUpdate")
    Anybody have idea what BW table it is refering to get that info.
    As per my understanding, since these workbook of Adv. Analysis are refering Query which are built on MultiProviders, it go and find out the last cube/dso successful data load.
    Also I manually checked the date and time of last successful update in cube, but it is not matching as far as time is concern. Date is matching.
    Please help me to get the correct table which gave that info (date and time).
    Thank-You.
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi Tammy,
    I was trying for the similar requirement to get the "Last refreshed time" of the table used in the calculation  view  in HANA.
    It uses the same formula : =SAPGetInfoLabel("LastDataUpdate")
    But since Analytic View actually doesn't store any data, it is virtual. The date am seeing is the last changed date. i.e if i do any changes on the model, am seeing the last date when I changed it.
    Is there any function which we can use to get the Last refreshed date of the table in the model am using?
    Regards,

  • Need manual Slide advancement in Presenter&

    sorry I am new to Presenter. I am using it with PPT 2007
    How do I eliminate the auto timeline for each slide. The
    default seems to be 5 seconds. I need user to be in control and
    advance the slides manually as they wish.
    This will also allow animated objects to appear as planned.(
    I hope)
    How do I change to Manual Mode for slide advancement? Will my
    custom animations be timed as planned?
    thanks
    Grayley

    On the Presenter tab, click "Slide Manager." On slides you
    want the user to advance, change "Advance by User" to "Yes." Does
    this do what you want?

  • AFP (Advanced Function Presentation) Viewer needed for 10.4.11 or earlier

    My company uses ".afp" to send documents to employees. I cannot find a viewer for Mac OS that can view these AFP files. The largest problem is that I try to look for "AFP" along with Mac and all I get is Apple Filing Protocol.
    There are quite a few programs for Windoze that will translate AFP to PDF but unfortunately, that doesn't help us Mac users.

    Baltwo,
    Thanks. I'm not hopeful that what you suggest will work in this case. Initially, my system was working fine with 10.4.11. I cloned with CCC and then Installed 10.5 over the existing drive. The install appeared to go well, but on restart, the keyboard was not accepted. I installed all upgrades and repaired permissions using the 10.5 install disk. The keyboard still didn't work.
    I took the computer to the Apple Genius bar and they were about to do an Archive and Install when they noted that my hard drive was "failing". So they went out and replaced the hard drive and installed 10.5.8. It appeared to work fine. I then used Migration Assistant from the clone to the new operating system. I now have the same problem with the keyboard not working on the 10.5.8 hard drive, but working fine when I boot up on the 10.4.11 clone.
    My guess is that there is some 3rd party file or files that are compatible with 10.4.11 but not compatible with 10.5.8.
    If, after repairing with DiskWarrior and Tech Tool Pro, I still have the problem, I'll try what you suggest, but I am not hopeful that it will work. When I clone back tot he 10.5 hard drive, it will bring any problem files with it.
    The next step would be a clean install and then a drag and drop from the clone with a re-install on things that require it. That will be a major undertaking,but I am afraid that I may need to do it.
    Do you have any suggestions for how to find what files might be incompatible with 10.5.8? Is there some way to migrate files in small groups? What if I used Time machine, so that I could easily go back if a Migration step was a problem?
    Thanks again. Your suggestion is a good one and I'll try it, but I already have some indication that it won't work this time.
    Best Regards,
    Dave

  • How do I get presenter tab to show up in powerpoint?

    I downloaded the trial version of presenter 7 (and later got an update 7.01)
    It worked for about a half hour, while I was recording audio over a powerpoint it came up with a serious error and said to uninstall and re-install.
    Did that now when I open powerpoint the presenter tab up top isn't there any longer
    Any ideas? When I used it besides the audio quality (could be my mic), looks like this could be a permenant solution for me.
    I am using this on a windows vista OS.
    thx

    Have you enabled the add in?
    One quick way to check in Office 2007 is to go to the Office Button; Select Power Point Option ; Select Add Ins; below the window under manage , select disabled items. If the power point presenter add in is there , select it and select "enable add in".
    Hope this helps

  • Will Presenter eventually be compatable with non-PowerPoint presentation software?

    I can see the advantages to having a PowerPoint plugin, but
    extending capatability to something like OpenOffice would be a
    great way to pull in users from all OS and avoid forcing Connect
    users to purchase MS Office.
    Or, perhaps, an Adobe-forged online/local editor for
    Presenter presentations would make more sense to avoid the use of
    third-party apps altogether. Just wondering if this is something
    that is being looked into...
    Thanks.

    This post was 2005 and no answer till now???!!!??? where are the admins? and where Adobe?!
    I wanted to test presenter 7 because I general realy like adobe products, but I won't buy, just because Adobe wan't it, Microsoft Office products. I am using OpenOffice for more than 2 years and I am realy happy with it. So no reason to change.
    I realy have to say, that I don't understand the adobe politic to exclude open source software.
