Controlling Movie Slides

I have a series of medical images (CT slices) that I show as Quicktime movies. It's easy to drag a movie onto a blank Keynote slide as part of a presentation, but the effect is suboptimal if I cannot a) control the "playback" of the movie (have controls on the screen that allow me to stop, reverse, pause, etc.), or at least b) control the speed of the movie. Yet I don't see any way to do either of these things. I can do it when I'm preparing the Keynote address, but not when I'm playing the Keynote address. Is this simply not possible?

From the Keynote Help:
When a movie plays during a presentation, movie controls appear when you move the pointer over the movie if "Show playback controls when pointer is over a movie" is selected in the Slideshow pane of Keynote preferences. The controls available depend on the size (dimensions) of the movie; the smaller the movie, the fewer controls visible.
You can also use the keyboard to control movie playback:
To pause or resume playback, press K. (also fast forwards if already playing)
To rewind when playback is paused, press J.(also fast rewinds if already playing)
To go forward when playback is paused, press L.
To jump to the beginning of the movie, press I.
To jump to the end of the movie, press O.

Problem controlling Flash Slide Show

I would like to use a static image to control a flash slide
show; in which clicking the image would start the preloader and the
slide show at the same time. I have just inserted a flash slide
show which immediately preloads and starts the slide show when the
webpage is loaded. I have inserted a large play button image and
assigned the proper behavior attributes to try and control the
slide show without any success. Here is the webpage:
http://www.ronusa.com/buick_grand_national.htm
Please see the attached code for the slide show. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ned. When I say slide I mean instead of a scene. There is a presentation and then the slide under it. If I click on the presentation it has one key frame and I think that is what's playing when I try to import the swf into a video editing program or try to export to a quicktime movie. Its like it never plays the slide, just the presentation which has nothing but the one key frame. When I play just the swf it does fine, but I can't export it to a quicktime movie.
The design of the slide is just text, jpgs and music transitioning in and out.
My intention is to import a movie into youtube. For some reason a swf does not import very well. So that is why I wanted to convert the swf to a movie. Thanks again for your help.

AS 2.0 Control Movie Via Dragable Clip

I was trying to see if I could get a scrubber-like button to
control movie playback.
For instance I want to place button that you can drag along a
bar to move the movie along frame by frame. I think I have seen
this done somewhere but I was wondering if anyone had some info on
doing this. I know how to use the startDrag and stopDrag actions
and how to make sure the buton only drags left to right and back
but I have searched the forums, google and the help file and what I
am finding is not really what I need.
Any help appreciated I will keep looking and trying stuff in
the meantime.

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Toast can author and burn video DVDs but it's not nearly as versatile as iDVD is in creating video DVDs. Toast can only create one menu so all items must be on it, i.e. no sub-menus, no animated menus, etc.

...how to control movie clips using mause scroller...?

Hi Ldavinci, I have noticed your posts on that particular
site before. Just chiming in here... don't be afraid of Flash Help
menu. There's a wealth of information there and I've found it much
faster than waiting for a response from the forum. Then if it still
doesn't make sense, at least you have a basic idea of specifics to
ask.
If you search for mouse wheel, you'll see an example under
the Actionscript 2.0 Language Reference on this topic. That said,
here's the example:

Where does the control moves at first at END-OF PAGE or END-OF-SELECTION

Is END-OF PAGE triggered like TOP-OF-PAGE from the AT-SELECTON-SCREEN automatically with a write statement & where does the control moves at first
at END-OF PAGE or END-OF-SELECTION?

Hi,
1. End-of-selection:
This event is triggered after the start-of-selection. to display the contents on the report.
2.Top-of-page: Every time a new page is triggered. Mainly this is used for header of the report.
3. End-of-page : every time the list data reaches the footer region of the page.
This way first data is disaplyed then it reaches the footer..
first End-of-selection then End-of-page
These example may help u in detail...
Leaving Event Blocks Using STOP
If you use the STOP statement within an event block, the system stops processing the block immediately. The ABAP runtime environment triggers the next event according to the following diagram:
Before and during selection screen processing, the next event in the prescribed sequence is always called. From the AT SELECTION-SCREEN event onwards, the system always jumps from a STOP statement directly to the END-OF-SELECTION statement. Once the corresponding event block has been processed, the system displays the list.
The following program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT EVENT_TEST.
NODES: SPFLI, SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE 'Test program for STOP'.
GET SBOOK.
WRITE: 'Bookid', SBOOK-BOOKID.
STOP.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'End of Selection'.
This produces the following output:
Test Program for STOP
Bookid 00010001
End of Selection
As soon as the first line of SBOOK has been read, the system calls the END-OF-SELECTION event block.
Exiting Event Blocks Using EXIT
If you use the EXIT statement within an event block but not in a loop, the system stops processing the block immediately. The ABAP runtime environment triggers the next event according to the following diagram:
Before and during selection screen processing, the next event in the prescribed sequence is always called. From the START-OF-SELECTION event onwards, the system starts the list processor directly when the EXITstatement occurs, and displays the list.
If the EXIT statement occurs inside a DO, WHILE, or LOOP loop, it is the loop that terminates, not the processing block.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT demo_program_exit_1.
NODES: spfli, sflight, sbook.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE 'Test Program for EXIT'.
GET sbook.
WRITE: 'Bookid', sbook-bookid.
EXIT.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'End of selection'.
This produces the following output:
Test Program for EXIT
Bookid 00010001
After the first line of SBOOK has been read, the list is displayed immediately.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT demo_program_exit_2.
NODES: spfli, sflight, sbook.
DATA flag(1) TYPE c.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
IF carrid-low IS INITIAL.
flag = 'X'.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
START-OF-SELECTION.
IF flag = 'X'.
WRITE / 'No input for CARRID'.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
GET spfli.
GET sflight.
GET sbook.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE / 'End of Selection'.
If the user does not enter a value for CARRID-LOW, the output appears as follows:
No selection made for CARRID
After the first EXIT statement, the next START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered. After the second EXITstatement, the output list is displayed.
Regards.

Can you control movement of regions without the mouse

can you control movement of regions without the mouse? I have trouble nudging the regions with the mouse and was hoping there was a keyboard solution.

there is not.
perhaps it would help to turn off the Snap To Grid menuItem?

How can i control a slider with a button.

Is it possible to control a slider with a button? It works like a automatic sliding gate. Is it possible? Where when you open the gate, it will slide slowly.. And can anyone help me with this..

I was bored...
The way this usually works is that I think of a simpler implementation once I click the Submit button...

How do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides?

how do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides with the skip or next chapter command on the dvd remote? when I export to quicktime, it changes slides on a timed basis. I want the chapter button on a dvd remote to act like a mouse click would.

Hi Robert
You have to export the individual slides from your Keynote presentation, and then import them into your DVD application.
I use DVDStudioPro - it works fine this. I'm sure iDVD will be OK.Going via QT has never worked for me.

Controlling numeric slider with numeric control

Hello,
what i have is a numeric slider and
a numeric control. i would like to be able to move the slider and have
it update the value in the numeric control and vice versa. the problem
is that i can update the value in the numeric control when i move the
slider, but i can't update the slider if i try to change the value in
the numeric control. i was trying to use the 'value' property node for
each of them and and wire each of the controls to the opposite property
node. i know they are both control but i thought if i change the
'value' to an input then it may update.
i have attached the vi.
thank you

Well, since the event structure only executes when one of the controls changes, it is blocking the loop. Dataflow in action!
A quick solution would be to make the event structure "transparent" by adding a short and empty timeout case. Now just use a feedback node to retain the existing value if the controls did not change.
There are probably definitely better ways to do this, but they would require more fundamental changes to your code.

Controling Captivate Slide elements from flash widget

I am creating a widget in Flash and I am able to control the captivate movie by widget. But I do not know how to control the elements (clickbox, highlightbox or images) appearing on slide.
Is it possible to show/hide and image appearing in captivate slide from flash widget.

I have the same issue.
I have a button "Button_1" that I am trying to turn invisible, and have tried:
var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.slide0__color_mc.Button_1.visible = false;
Also tried:
mainmov.Button_1.visible = false;
Neither works.

Simple Button to Control Movie Clip

Hello,
I was relatively comfortable with AS 2.0, but am having a
hard time warming up to 3.0. I feel that this should be something
simple to find help online with, yet I'm finding it difficult to
get a simple answer.
I have a button that is inside a movie clip within another
movie clip:
mainMenu_mc > whoBtn_mc > whoButton
This button appears to work fine controlling a movie clip on
the same timeline. This is the code so far (on an Actions frame in
WhoBtn_mc):
whoButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
whoGlow.gotoAndStop("click");
I have another movie clip on the main timeline that I would
like to control with this button:
blackFadeBottom_mc
What would the code look like for this?
Any help is appreciated - Thank you.

Thanks, I was able to place the code on the main timeline and
get a trace when I clicked on the movie clip instance itself. I
probably didn't explain what I was trying to do very well, so I
apologize.
What I need to do is to control this movie clip that is
physically placed on the main timeline (fadeBlackBottom) with the
button that is buried under two other movie clips
(mainMenu_mc>whoBtn_mc>whoBtn).
I would like the whoBtn to tell the fadeBlackBottom movie
clip to (what used to be)
_root.fadeBlackBottom.gotoAndPlay("play"); This will drop down a
box that will contain the content of my 'Who' link.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks again,
Chuck
