Interactive Flash Presentation with Quiz

Hello,
I am College student that has been asked to create a Flash based presentation for High School students, showing them some of the available facilities, some general topics for the major and what not. I am not Flash Savvy, but I do know that keynote can export a keynote presentation as an interactive flash
file (swf ?).
My question is this, does anyone know of a way to create a simple quiz type functionality in Keynote; where the High School students could enter the answer for a couple questions and get a score back ?
I hope that's not terribly confusing.
Thank you and best regards
quicksilver Duel 1ghz 1.5GB Radeon9800pro 128mb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There's not a way to get a score back with Keynote as there's not a "counter" variable you can increment in order to report a total at the end.

Help needed too make a flash presentation with sound

Hi Folks,
I've recently kicked off a 'not - for - profit' project to raise awareness of the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Veterans. I've been trying to make a flash video with an MP3 sound clip and slide images but I'm having makor problems with getting the file made.
Is there anyone around that would be able to help with this project by making the presentation video for me? I wouldn't be able to properly pay the person as funds are very restricted but I'd be happy for a credit to go in at the end of the video kisting you as 'producer', or something similar.
This video has to be made to coincide with Veterans week in the UK - 19-27 June 2010, so needs to be made and then uploaded ASAP.
I can offer a nominal payment of £10, as a thank you once the file's completed and running. I can't cope with making the file because of my disability, so I hope someone can help me.
Regards
RAF Veteran

Interaction Flash Lite with another applications

Hi:
I would like to know if exists any posibility of communicate
or interact my flash lite app with another non-flash application
(for example using JNI or any kind of median layer between my flash
app and another app). This non flash app may be a java app for
example or another symbian app that I have developed
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes it is possible. You can use FSCommand("launch") to do
this.
///example:
The following example would open wap.yahoo.com on the
services/Web browser on Series 60 phones:
on(keyPress "9") {
status = fscommand("launch",
"z:\\system\\apps\\browser\\browser.app,
http://wap.yahoo.com");
Hope this helps,

Controlling flash presentation with voice over and animation

Hi everyone,
I have a project coming up where I will have voice over to
explain some animation that will appear on stage. It is basically a
explanation of what a company does, services they offer...etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start
something like this? So that my final project has a prev, next,
stop, play, pause buttons and all of these affect the animations
and voice overs. I suggested to make this on video and bring it
into flash using a video player, but they want it to be into a
single SWF to put on their website.
Any help would be great!
Thank you,
Rafa.

kglad,
That is what I ended up doing after posting. I made a little
demo for my client showing him how well it was running as an FLV
and mentioned the possibility of losing sync if we went the other
way.
They were not to impress with the default player controls
that come with flash. Do you know of any good tutorials on building
custom controls (scrub bar, play/pause, prev, next...etc)?
thank you,
Rafa.

Student needing URGENT help with flash presentation...

I am working on a flash presentation with galleries buttons ...basically the full lot. The presentation brief is for a Kiosk - computer in a museum, which when its not being used will go onto a screensaver.
So my question is ...after ive done the screensaver, how to i actually get it into my main presentation? I've looked ALL over the internet for tutorials and found nothing. Any help that anyone can give will be great -
MY HAND IN ON FRIDAY .......
Thanks xDeex

presumably there will be some user input (like a screen touch) that will trigger your presentation's start. you will create a listener for that input and when detected stop/remove your screensaver and start/add your presentation.
typically you would use a timer of some sort to detect a lack of user activity for some minimum duration that would trigger your presentation to stop and the screensaver to be re-started.

Masking entire flash movie with setMask() ?

Hi,
I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:
_root.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); or _level0.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); ?
Thanks,
Attila

Ok, I have figured it out. The code works but in order to call the MC from the library as a mask it has to be used with the attachedMovie function first to make it appear on the stage. So the following works if the linkage is set up under the mask MC properties in the library:
_level0.attachMovie("StageShapeMC", "stageMask", 30000 ,{_x:0, _y:0});
_level0.setMask(stageMask);

External .swf into a flash presentation

Hey guys and girls!
I got a question here. I made a small flash intro 2 weeks ago
and saved it into a .swf. Now I am doing a flash presentation with
many slides for a client and I want to put the intro into the first
slide. I am doing a symbol/movie clip and after the movie is
loaded, it does not switch slides...
Thanks a lot,
Antoine

I think this is what you're looking for...
stop();
waitI=setInterval(waitF,5000); // <- will wait for 5000
milliseconds
function waitF(){
clearInterval(waitI);
_root.gotoAndPlay("specificFrameLabel");
could be completely wrong though.

Interactive Flash Video

Hello,
Wonder if anyone could help me?
I am creating an interactive Flash video with hotspots.
I have my video in Flash and I have created the hotspots at
different points in the video. What I want to achieve is when the
user is watching the video and they click correctly, some text
appears and adds an icon to a score board on the screen they see.
There are a total of 10 correct areas where they need to
click on the video, so the maxium they can achieve is 10.
Is they anyway I can achieve this and possibly how?
Thank you very much... I am very confused where to start.
Kind regards,
Paul

Create some invisible buttons to place on top of the video.
Then embed cue points in the video to trigger the buttons to appear
and disappear when appropriate.

I'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

Anyone familiar with Flash Presentations?

Hi.
I continue to have problems playing movieclips on certain
slides of a Flash Presentation.
If anyone has *reasonable* experience with Flash
presentations please let me know. You might be familiar with the
problem, or have suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
K

chez Lou,

Well, that would certainly be one approach, but then you
lose out on the
benefit of nested movie clips, not the least of which is
avoidance of
timeline sprawl. I played a bit more with the Slide API this
morning. I
can see what's going on. Under the hood, each slide is a
movie clip, and
they all exist at once, so if you have nested animation on
any slide ...
they all start playing even on slide 1, and might in fact
have played
through by the time you hit slide 5.
> 2. Do you know of a way to have an animation stop on the
last
> frame, yet replay on slide re-entry?
Here's what I came up with. Let's assume you have two
buttons on the
root presentation slide. By default, Flash gives you a root
slide named
"presentation" and a child slide named "slide1". In my
experiment, I added
a Next and Previous button to "presentation" and wired them
up like this:
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
This uses the button event handling approach I prefer,
personally, over
on() and onClipEvent() -- I'm not sure which approach you're
using. In this
approach, the code codes into a keyframe, typically a
dedicated scripts
layer, rather than attached to the object itself. The buttons
have the
instance names btnNext and btnPrev. A function is assigned to
the
Button.onRelease event of each button instance, and the
functions call
either Slide.gotoNextSlide() or Slide.gotoPreviousSlide() as
appropriate.
In order to target the relevant Slide instance, I use the
Slide.currentSlide
property, which I reference via the expression this._parent.
Let me explain that, real quick. In the above code, the word
"this"
refers to the corresponding button instance itself -- in
btnNext's onRelease
handler, "this" refers to btnNext. btnNext -- the button
symbol -- is, by
nature, an instance of the Button class. Consulting the
Button class in the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference, I see that all button
instances have a
Button._parent property, which points to the object that
contains the
button. Cool. Therefore, from a button's point of view,
this._parent
refers to the timeline that contains the button. Normally,
such a reference
points to a MovieClip instance (which is what timelines are;
they're movie
clips). That's the case here, too, but thanks to the way
object-oriented
programming works, and because we're inside a Slide
presentation, the parent
movie clip of this button is also an instance of the Slide
class.
Look up "Slide class" in the Components Language Reference,
and you'll
see the full pedigree. Any instance of Slide has the
following family tree:
MovieClip > UIObject > UIComponent > View >
Loader > Screen > Slide. Slides
*are* movie clips, but they're more than that. They're also
UIObjects,
which are objects that contain all the functionality of movie
clips, and
then some. They're also UIComponents, which addes even more
functionality,
and so on ... all the way through Slide. One of the
properties of the Slide
class is Slide.currentSlide. Bingo!
So ... this._parent (in this context) refers to a Slide
instance, which
means this._parent.currentSlide refers to the currently
showing slide, which
is obviously also a Slide instance. For that reason, we can
still invoke
Slide class methods on the reference, which is why something
like
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide() works.
Forgive me, by the way, if you already understand all of
this. Forum
replies are searchable, and who knows ... in the future, the
explanation has
the potential to help someone else, too. :)
Okay, so now the issue is, we want each current slide to run
through any
nested movie clips it may have, regardless of their instance
names, and tell
each movie clip to start again from frame 1 of its own
timeline. Amend the
above code to look like this:
import mx.screens.Slide;
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
The import statement allows us to reference Slide as a
datatype, which
happens just below the line in each event handler that was
already there.
To save a few keystrokes (basically, to make the code easier
to read), we're
creating a temporary variable, slide, and setting it to the
same
this._parent.currentSlide expression we already used. Once
gotoNextSlide()
or gotoPreviousSlide() is called, the value of
this._parent.currentSlide
changes, because now a *new* slide is the current slide. It's
the new slide
we're interested in. Using the variable slide as a kind of
shorthand, we
use a for..in loop to run through all the properties of the
current slide.
If the datatype of a given propery is a movie clip, we tell
it to go to
frame 1 of its own timeline and start playing.
What I've spelled out may or may not fit, exactly, with your
current
circumstance, but that's why I spent a bit of time explaining
the mechanics
of it. I hope that steers you in a useful direction. :)

Interactive video presentation no flash

Hello everybody,
I am a Visualization Artist and I used to work long time ago doing website(I am a graphic designer too) I been aproached by an old client asking me to develop a "Interactive video presentation" of a product for Engineering purposes.
The final output should be Web and CD to be used a promotional media.
My first option was Flash but he questioned that because he want people that uses Ipad and other tables be able to see in a web interfase.
The main idea is play a short video demostrating the produc and funcionality, then the user should be able to stop and play repeat a chapter or jump to other charpter of the presentation.
I own Creative cloud and some 3D softwares so I think I should be fine software wise, but my question is if there is something New in Adobe that I can use instead of Flash to produce something like this?
Can I do everything at once or I need to prepare a video for Web in Flash an other for a CD and some App for tablets everything separated?
any gidance will be much apreciated.

This may not be the most efficient way to do this, but you could have the mouse click incriment a counter, and on the last frame of the loop have a statement basically saying if the counter is greater than 0, then play the second loop, and set up another mouse event to incriment a second counter if loop2 is playing, so on and so forth. Not exactly sure how you're planning to organize this, and what version of actionscript you plan on using so I can't really give you too much help in terms of the specific coding.

Trying to get wireless remote to work with Flash Presentation... HELP!!!

I know almost nothing about Flash or Powerpoint. I was given a Flash presentation I need that I'd like to show at meetings using my new wireless remote, but I can't get it to move forward & backward between slides (works fine using arrow keys on the laptop keyboard - Windows XP Pro). The remote works fine with Powerpoint presentations, so I know the remote is ok. Is there some setting/command I need to allow my Flash presentation to work with my remote, or do I need a special remote? I already talked to the remote tech support (Keyspan/TrippLite) and they were totally unfamiliar wirh Flash and simply said that their unit works with Powerpoint as advertised, which was true, but they couldn't help me with Flash presentations. Can anyone out there help me?? Thanks very much!

Hi, and thanks so much for responding! I have the Keyspan PR-EZ1 and I don't think it allows me to "map" keys since when I called their tech support, they didn't mention that as an option. I'm really new at this, but I just noticed - as I was sitting right here on my browser earlier, I pressed the remote's slide-changing keys and my web page scrolled up and down! Just now I tried it and my insertion point cursor moved up and down! So I guess these buttons must be "mapped" to the up and down arrows. How nice it would be if I could somehow figure out how to switch them to the left and right arrows. A colleague of mine told me just an hour or so ago that when she bought her Logitech wireless remote, it had the same problem with Flash presentations. But one day, out of the blue, it "fixed" itself and now does Flash fine. (I didn't ask her if it still does Powerpoint though.) She has no idea how or why and doesn't care. Her remote is a discontinued model though (sigh). Anyway, maybe it'll be worth my while to make another call to tech support and ask about key mapping. Maybe a more advanced model might allow this function. Thanks for the spark!

Ok, I'm officially retarded. I followed the link you gave me, which led to another link about fullscreening (a .zip file) which I decompressed and ran then escaped out of it. I then looked at the gobbledygook programming language code and I found where it said "trapallkeys" but still haven't the slightest idea how to get my remote to work. Is there some utility file which I can run which already has this "trapallkeys" function compiled into a nice simple executable that I can run prior to or in conjunction with my Flash presentation which will let my wireless remote controller flip through my slides? I'm sorry, but please don't expect me to understand what...
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.system.fscommand;
public class FullscreenDemo extends Sprite
public function FullscreenDemo():void
fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onStage_KEY_DOWN);
quitScreen_mc.visible = false;
quitScreen_mc.yesBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onQuitYes_CLICK);
quitScreen_mc.noBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onQuitNo_CLICK);

quitScreen_mc.visible = true;
function onQuitYes_CLICK(evt:MouseEvent):void {
fscommand("quit");
function onQuitNo_CLICK(evt:MouseEvent):void {
quitScreen_mc.visible = false;
means. That may be all I need to solve my problem, but it's in a language I just don't understand. Could you or somebody out there please break this down for a newbie?? Thanks very much! :-) :-)

Problems using Flash Presentation / Slide with IE

I have created a slideshow using the Flash presentation /
slide component. All images are the same size. When the movie loads
in Firefox, the slide show works fine. However in IE, the first
image is loaded off center. The top left corner of the image is
placed in the center of the screen. All subsequent images load
fine. This is an intermittent problem as it does not happen all the
time.
Has anyone seen this problem and know of a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Is this Virtual Credit Card Number software a website or a stand alone application? If stand alone, then I would recommend installing the Active X (Internet Explorer) version that you can download here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions

Flash Video with DVD-like motion menus -- Is this possible?

Hi all,
I just joined this gropup. I have some SMIL 2.0 presentations
with synchnorized multiple audio (several languages supported) and
video as well as DVD-like still and motion menus. These are
semi-transparent menus and actually are super-imposed over main
playback area (root layout in SMIL).
Can Flash Video has menus in it?
Can this type of a/v synchronization and menuing be done in
Flash Video?
I don't want to write as SWF with menus since clips and # of
menus on screen and placement might be different from video to
video. These are for some training videos.
To give a background, in SMIL I have an application server
(Jboss) which is dynamically creating SMIL based upon database,
user inputs and menu selections. What is basically sent back to the
browser is SMIL page markup including playlist of clips up to next
menu point. Once all clips are watched and user selects menu button
to continue then a new SMIL is generated and processs repeated.
I am thinking off porting this over to Flash Video because
currently clients need RealPlayer (has SMIL 2.0) support to be
downloaded and installed. Another local app to manage!
Any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks and kindest regards,
-Mark

You can build interactive DVDs with video and audio, but no Word documents (at least not as part of the interactivity). DVD SP can certainly be used to create interactive DVDs. The advantage is that interactivity will extend to DVD players, not just computers.
If you want very rich interactive content, with Word docs, PDFs, etc. Then the best program would be Director. However there are some caveats with Director.
1) The learning curve for Director is extremely steep. You would be better off hiring a freelancer who already knows the program, then spending all the time learning all the ins and outs of the program.
2) Director is essentially a dead program. Since Adobe acquired it a couple of years ago, they have made no upgrades of the program. Nor have they made any announcements on continued development.
3) The content you develop will only be playable on computers, not DVD players.
