Interactive presentation

Sorry for posting this again.. I'm a graphic designer and
struggling to understand AS3. I've created a large presentation
made up of 4 modules (as seperate swfs) each module is a click
through, on the last button click I need to remove that swf and
play the next swf. A point in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated
Thanks
Darren

ActionScript 3.0 you say? Because if that`s the case, what
Darr_darshan suggested won`t work, because that`s AS2...
In AS3, you need to create your 'Next' button on the stage,
give it an instance name, so that you can refer to it through
ActionScript, and then type the following code:
// this creates a new Loader instance, which you use to load
.swf, .jpg etc..
var lSwf:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(lSwf); // this is so that the Loader is actually
displayed on the stage
var count:int = 0; // the current .swf index
var maxSwf:int = 10; // the number of .swfs you have...
// this is you 'Next' button to which you assign the
'onNextSwf' function when clicked
bNext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNextSwf);
function onNextSwf(event:MouseEvent):void {
// the actual loading of the swf, provided you have the swfs
named "yourSwf0.swf", "yourSwf1.swf", ... You will need to name
them based on an index
lSwf.load(new URLRequest("yourSwf" + count + ".swf"));
count++; // so that next time you come click, you jump to the
next swf
// if you reach the end of the swf "slideShow" you jump back
to the beginning
if(count >= maxSwf) {
count = 0;
I haven`t really tested out this piece of code, I just typed
it in here out of my head, so you`ll have to excuse the possible
mistakes... I hope I have at least pointed you in the right
direction :)

  • 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:

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Help creating interactive presentation for iPad using InDesign

    Hello All,
    So I have some very basic experience using Adobe programs for my personal business solutions.  Primarily photoshop.  But I just got InDesign CS6 as it was recommend for creating an interactive presentation for an iPad.
    Before I get to my main question I'd like to give you the basics on my needs for such presentation. I currently own a residential painting company and we have a printed client manual we use at our sales presentations to cover our services for prospective clients.  I would like to create an interactive presentation, document, whatever (is easiest and will provide the best experience) for our sales reps to use on iPad devices.  This presentation will ideally be between 20-30 pages long, with a main menu and 4-5 subtopics with page links, video & picture inserts, working web links, GIF's, and anything else that might spark customer interest or be an effective sales tool.
    We are trying to integrate everything for use on the ipad for our sales presentation because we can use it as an all in one tool.  Specifically for our client manual, schedule, job locations, credit processing, etc...  Also, I see a video review on an ipad much more powerful tool than the boring written reviews we have right now.
    Anyways, I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing.  I have learned Adobe programs from scratch in the past, and I am looking for any beginner advice or resources you guys may have. Maybe some good starting points or examples of presentation templates for ipad use, functionality, etc...  Really lost in the fog right now, and just looking for a little beginner guidance.
    Any help or advice is grealty appreciated
    Thanks

    You may (re)consider the presentation format. A PDF (which may be created from an InDesign document) may an option for identical appearance (requiring sufficient pixel x pixel size of all appliances used. Otherwise, a floating (reflowing) format may be more appropriate. In the latter case, InDesign may be a dead end.

  • Indesign and Interactive Presentations

    Hi there,
    I have two questions regarding Interactive Pdfs created from InDesign.
    Question 1.
    I have aprox 200pages. It's devided in diffrent sections.
    Is there a way to ad a button/illustration as "print" that allows me to put a preset on wich pages that should be printed?
    Meaning hitting the "print" button on a specific page allows me to either set it to only that page or the whole section. 8-26 or 49-99 for example.
    Question 2.
    As a interactive presentation i also have a question regarding "speakers support" not sure if it's the right word.
    But that allows the one holding the presentation to have as in PPT on his laptop a note section that are not shown on the big screen.
    Best Regards
    Petter Brink

    1. You'd have to add the print button in Acrobat and I think there's some Javascript code you can input to ask what what page range. Something along the lines of this http://acrobatusers.com/forum/javascript/javascript-print-button-range-works-full-document -prints/
    I don't know though as I'm not a scripter. Try the Acrobat Scripting forum.
    2. I don't there is a way to do this.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Flash for a Business interactive presentation?

    i work at an orthodontist office. we thrive on using
    everything high tech or new technology. and are adding touch screen
    all in one computers into our new patient rooms for parents to
    interact with and learn about our office. I use flash at home for
    personal use and enjoy all it has to offer. i was wondering if it
    could be used to create a rich multimedia presentation that parents
    could interact with and still be simple enough not to be overkill.
    we currently run Powerpoint presentations on LCD tvs around the
    office but powerpoint is very limited and cheesy.
    my questions are. would Flash be a good way to go or does
    adobe or anyone else offer a better solution? if flash would work
    good. how would i go about doing it best, design as an offline
    webpage and just run that?
    My knowledge in this area is very limited right now as i only
    use these products for recreational use and tinkering(networking
    and computer management is more my specialty). this is a good way
    for me to apply my tinkering to good use and enjoy it while helping
    my job. i would love to make a very rich and professional project.
    any input is much appreciated.
    thanks

    flash works well with touch screens. what you create, its
    appearance and functionality depends on your skills, imagination
    and needs.

  • Can I use DVD SP for an interactive presentation?

    Howdy.
    I have a client who wants a standalone presentation that can be played on a display at a tradeshow booth, but also wants it to be a speaker support presentation that pauses on each slide.
    I'm thinking about doing it in Flash, but I was wondering if I could do this in DVD SP.
    I could create a main menu with the two versions listed, fine.
    But on the speaker support version, it needs to play and pause each slide and then continue to the next slide when the speaker clicks.
    From my experience with pausing DVD, the interlaced nature makes it look bad paused, so I was thinking that each slide would be a track in DVD SP and I would just have each video (slide) hold on the last frame for a few minutes. I'd have buttons on the screen to go to the next track and the previous track.
    Do you think that will work? Is there a better way?
    The reason I'd prefer to use DVD SP over Flash is you just put a DVD in and it plays whereas Flash has computer/OS support issues and PC screen resolution issues and my client would need a PC in their booth versus just a DVD player.
    Make sense?
    I appreciate any tips or help.
    Thank you!
    Scot

    So I don't see any way to have the remote control jump backwards on tracks. The only way I made it go forward is I put an End Jump at the end of the track and then used the Track Skip Forward button. But this doesn't work to go backwards, obviously.
    I could use chapter markers and put every slide on a single track and jump between chapter markers easily, but it doesn't pause at the end of each chapter.
    Am I missing anything obvious to create a "slide" presentation with motion graphics in DVD SP?
    Thanks!

  • HELP! Interactive Presentation

    Hello!
    I am developing a simple presentation for a client using InDesign, but i can't seem to get a very simple thing to work. I need to have a static (no transitions) background and the content to fly in from right to left. I know there's a transition for that, but it aplies to the whole page. I wanted to apply it to the content only..can anyone help me?
    Thank you very much!

  • Interactive Presentations?

    I have looked around the forums and online a bit but can't seem to find a definite answer. I work as a Jr. High School teacher and I would love to be able to create a 'Jeopardy' like presentation in Keynote. Basically, set up categories and point values and then if the kid decides on 'Potent Potables for 500' I can just click on that 500 card for the question reveal. I cant really put the transitions in any kind of order as there is no way of telling what value the child will choose to answer.
    Any help would be appreciated, it would be so much easier then creating the mountain of giant-sized note cards that will be required.
    Thanks!

    The feature required for this to work is missing from Keynote. For something like this, you'll want to use PowerPoint or some other app.
    By the way, this is the closest thing I've found. It doesn't use Quartz compositions and isn't flashy (and makes the game multiple choice) but it's free and gives you something to work with!

  • 2 CS6 Interactive Presentations Questions

    How do I set a "fade out" transition for static slides (already got fade in)?
    How do I set video page to automatically go to next slide after video completes, probably without transitions?
    Thx everyone.
    Paul

    Jackson,
    I did not figure out how to transition automatically to next slide after video completes. I had to do it manually. I think I figured out how to fade out, but I’ll have to look at that and get back to you.
    Perhaps you should post this as a new question since I didn’t get any answers. I’d really like a good tutorial on this because, if there is no way to do some of these things, then PowerPoint suddenly becomes more attractive, which would be a shame.

  • Timeline based presentation (non interactive)

    Hello,
    I work in a drugstore and I want to advertise the products and give some useful info using a mac mini 1.4 Ghz 512 RAM. The computer will run the presention in loop mode.
    However, every month our small cities drugstores make a list in which list is displayed witch drugstore will stay open all night long.
    Is it possible to define a timeline and tell Keynote what to display in every loop and what to display for specific hours? I mean something like:
    "Show this slide from 13:00 till 23:00 at 14/02/2007"
    "then show another slide from 23:00 14/02/2007 to 08:00 15/02/2007"
    etc?
    I believe that it does not exist such an option in Keynote, I already know it's made for interactive presentations (do we have a tool on macosx for non interactive presentations?) but maybe with applescript is possible..

    If there is a solution on this I'd like to know

  • How do you create a non linear InDesign Interactive PDF modelled on having a 'home screen' from which you navigate?

    I am trying to create an interactive presentation for a seminar the institute I work for hosted. I want to have a 'home screen' in which you can get a digest of what happened and then the viewer can subsequently view any of the 6 presentations that happened at the event (six icons will be on the 'homescreen' as well). After they are done viewing, lets say presentation 1, they press a home button and return to the original screen to view the rest if they so wish. Is this possible as an interactive PDF? If not any suggestions on how I go about creating it? Thank you!

    You can do it with hyperlinks, link to: page then export to interactive pdf.
