Automatically Playing Interactive Presentations in CS5

Need help from an InDesign guru:  I'm making an interactive presentation and exporting it as a SWF file.  That's parts easy. However, I want the presentation to automatically play (all the way through) withough the need for Next and Previous buttons.  Can this be done in CS5 and if so, how?
Best, J

Hi, I probably should have put a ? at the end of my post... You are right.
I'm wondering if you could get around it by having a custom motion preset with a long ease out period.eg fly in, then take 10 seconds to move a couple of pixels.
To do this, you may have to save a motion preset as XML, edit and import it back. A 'delay before hiding' box would be nice!

  • Interactive Presentation indesign CS5 Question

    Hi
    I'm trying to create an interactive presentation/ portfolio in Indesign CS5.
    For each page I would like to have a number of small images at the bottom of the page, which the user could then click and a larger version of the image would appear in a larger image box in the middle of the screen.
    Is there a quick and tidy way to do this?
    Any help very welcome!
    Many Thanks!

    This is not something I do, but several threads have described the techniques in some detail in past years.

  • Keynote presentation does not automatically play upon open when called from another keynote presentation

    I have a master keynote presentation that hyperlinks to other keynote presentations.  The called keynote presentations open, but do not automatically play even though I have marked them to automatically play upon open.  What am I doing incorrectly?

    Automatically Play on open, has the same function as pressing the play button in the tool bar.
    Once the presentation is playing,  it will move to the next slide  depending on
    how you have set the options in:
    Inspector > Document > Presentation
    the choices to advance to the next slide are:
    normal           - requires a keyboard press or a muse click to advance
    Hyperlink       - requires the mouse to click on an object with a hyperlink
    Recorded      - plays back using the recorded narration sound track
    Self-playing   - will advance according to the options in the delay times set in
    Inspector > Document > Presentation

  • Getting Keynotes/HTML widgets to 'automatically play' in iBA

    I'm trying to make use of iBAv2.2's new 'automatically plays' feature in iBA. My question is regarding a Keynote widget, but the same query stands for HTML widgets
    I thought what should happen is that when you navigate to a page, the keynote wouldn't require a tap to play – the widget would be active on the page so the user can just use it. I assumed, therefore, that it would not have the 'play' icon either.
    I have imported the Keynote, and selected 'play on page', and 'automatically plays' within the 'interaction' tab of the Inspector. However, the resulting iBA file still shows the 'play' icon, and still requires a tap by the user.
    Have I missed something out here? Is there something I need to do with the Keynote file itself (within Keynote) before I import it into iBA? The iPad I'm using is a Retina version running iOS7, if that's relevant.

    My bad.
    Didn't have 'Play automatically' set on the presentation in Keynote.

  • Typing Information During Presentation (Interactive Presentation)

    I'm currently using Keynote '09 and had a question about a setting which I'm not sure exists or not. I am doing a presentation in a few days and part of it asks for input on ideas from the audience. Instead of writing down what they say on a nearby whiteboard, I thought it'd be most efficient to write it in Keynote while the presentation is happening. Basically making it an interactive presentation, instead of exiting out of the presentation, writing in things, and going back to playing the presentation from that slide. I was wondering if anyone knew of such a feature where typing during the presentation could be done, if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    It can't be done in Keynote. Depending on how geeky you are Quartz Composer will do it but you'll need to get your head around it!

  • How to turn off the Automatic link update in InDesign CS5.5?

    We have a problem with the Automatic link update in InDesign CS5.5 vers. 7.6
    We want to see which images have been updated / modified (ie, marked with the yellow triangle in the links panel).
    We want to be able to update the links manually.
    Q1: Although we deselect the "Check Links Before Opening Document" and "Find Missing Links Before Opening Document"
    under Preferences > File Handling the links get automatically updated even though we choose "Do not Update Links"
    when we open the document.
    Is it a bug, or is there another option to deselect the automatic update of links?
    Q2: When we open old documents made in CS4, we get this error message (see the attached jpeg).
    We believe it is because the links are missing in the CS4 document.
    Just as many missing links in the document, as many times the error message is presented.
    It's a loop that we can't pass.
    Could these two problems be related?

    This is not normal behavior. I wonder what is different for you.
    If you deselect "Check Links Before Opening Document," you should not be prompted to "Do not Update Links." This suggest you have corrupt preferences. So try:
    Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990

  • Movies not automatically playing

    Hello.
    I'm having trouble getting movies to automatically play in my keynote presentations. I'm using Keynote '08 and iMovie '11. I've tried exporting the movies in various formats and at various sizes. Exported through the media browser, exported to my hard drive and imported from there, etc...
    I've gone to the quicktime tab in the inspector and it's not checked off to play on click. I've had it work a couple of times where the movie will play automatically, but can't get it to work anymore.
    Thanks.

    If you're publishing to HTML5, you're going to get a play button. You can insert an image to display alongside the play button (so it's not just button on a white field), or you can change the html code to skip the play button. There's an explanation for changing the html at the end of this thread: Re: Can you embed HTML code into a Captivate project?

  • Which Adobe product should be use to create interactive presentations?

    We have an interactive presentation that we developed for a client a few years ago in Flash. The client is concerned that Jobs has hurt the future of Flash as a development tool. Is there another Adobe product that we should switch to or is Flash still the premier product? Note: I need something sophisticated enough to do complex animations (many moving parts with masks). Play back has to look good with possible auto and video intergration. At the moment mobile/tablet is not an issue but may be desired in the future.

    Two primary considerations, IMO.
    1. If the product is already developed in Flash, and still works fine for all target devices, and maybe just occasional/simple updates are needed here and there..
    2. If mobile delivery of the product is not at all required.
    Then stick with Flash.
    BUT if mobile is going to be a targeted platform, or the product needs a significant revision, then consider another approach.
    Tools like Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Trivantis Lectora are solid tools for creating HTML5 (mobile-compatible) content...but since HTML5 support and the spec itself are still evolving, there are certainly more limitations on animation, interactivity, etc.
    So the longer you can hold out updating the product to HTML5, using whatever tool you prefer, the better...but on the other hand, balance that against the efforts and updates you put into a Flash-based project that's likely going to have a limited future.

    Are all songs checked in your playlist?

  • Interactive presentation with hyperlinks on iPad (Keynote,ppt)

    Hey there,
    since 4 month I am trying to find a solution to this problem (See title). How is it possible that Apple can´t bring out an update for that? This is in my opinion one of the most important functions especially for companies who are presenting their work on iPads, having 50 slide presentations and need to switch from slide 34 to slide 4 and back. Anyways, it makes no sense having keynote without being able to use hyperlinks on the ipad...
    *When is Apple bringing out an update?!* PLEASE APPLE! Is there any other possibility to make interactive presentation work on the ipad, keeping the hyperlinks and all the animations the way you created them on the mac or pc?
    Thanks!

    These are user to user forums and nobody here can tell you anything about Apple's plans. To ask Apple for new features, best use the channel they have set up for that:

  • How to exit full screen mode while playing a presentation in Keynote '09

    Hi, my question is: when I play a presentation it starts by default in full screen mode; I would like instead to see it in a little box, in order to be able to take notes on another file; how can I do that?

    When playing Keynote will indeed take over the full screen -- there is no option for playing a presentation in a window. However, in the Preferences, under Slideshow, there is an option to enable Expose, which will allow you to switch between a running Keynote presentation and other applications.

  • How can i get my iphone to automatically play music after watching a video or something that requires audio

    I Have a iphone 5 and was wondering if there is a way i can get my music to automatically play again after watching a video or something that requires audio

    Is the jack not fitting into the top of the iPhone?
    If so then you would need this adapter for it to fit properly.

  • Stop videos from automatically playing

    When I navigate to any number of sites, videos sometimes up to 8 of them will all begin playing.  It's crazy.  I've lost control of my browser.  Is there a way to prevent videos, flash or otherwise from automatically playing.  I've already installed click to flash, but that only accounts for half the content being pushed at me.

    Hello,
    I am not sure which widget you are using but you can try the suggestions in the steps below to add videos to a muse site.
    Also make sure you have mp4 or webm file format.
    To import video in Muse you can use following steps.
    1. Import Video to Asset tab
    Go to File > Add Files to upload and select the file that you want to import. This will copy the file in asset tab in muse.
    2. Insert HTML code :
         a. Go to the page on which you want to place the video.
         b. Go to Object > Insert HTMl
         c. Paste the code mentioned below and update the <filename> with your file name
    <video width="320" height="240" controls>
       <source src="assets/<Filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    Hope this will help you what you desire to achieve.
    Regards
