No slide presentation on Flash MX's start screen?

Hi
I expected to find Slide presentation under Create New at
Macromedia Flash MX but it is not there. Is it only in Flash 8?
Appreciate any reply. Thanks.
From Olive

If you are placing a Keynote file on a CD or memory device then it will never play on a TV.
A Mac computer, iPad or iPhone are the only devices that can play Keynote files.
You can however export still image files in JPEG format from Keynote which will play as a slide show, without effects, on a "smart TV"

Flash Player From Start Screen...

I woud like to be able to play games or watch videos from my start screen, it keeps telling me to update my flash player, but I have the most updated one. when i do go to the flash player page all i get is a an empty box. i dont seem to have a problem from my desk top, other than a empty box when i go to flash player... what is wrong???? i would like to watch moives and play games from my start screen... the picture i uploaded is what I get..HELP...... Please

I do not have Windows 8 (and probably never will); but I read in several forum posts that you need to start IE from the desktop in order for Flash Player to function.

MacBook Pro slowed down and now will not start up- flashing symbols on start screen.

I am increasingly worried about my MacBook Pro. It had been slow for a few weeks (I think it may be infected with some kind of malware), slowed down even more, and then a couple days ago when I turned it on it flashed a question mark folder, a prohibitory sign, and the apple logo on the startup screen and will not go past that. I followed the instructions on an apple help page for this issue- Nothing connected to it; I even removed the apple power cord. I tried a safe boot. I reset the NVRAM. It said to try starting up from an OS install disc, but my computer did not come with one. Here's the bit where I'm not sure if I made a stupid decision; another site said that the computer will download a recovery partition if there is no install disc, so I booted while holding down C even though I had no disc. I then read that holding option on startup will allow you to choose which disc to start from- I did that, and the only option displayed is a disc called Recovery (with a number after it that I think was 10.something, presumably referring to the OS version). Does this mean I have lost access to my computer's Macintosh HD? Have my files been lost? Unfortunately I do not have them backed up. Bad decision on my part.

Thanks for the quick response.
Command-option-r does take me to a screen with a spinning globe. Below the globe is a drop-down menu from which to select a wi-fi network. My network, however, is not listed. (I am now sitting right by the router, and my iPhone is on the wifi without any problem.) I go instead to manually type it in. I have triple checked the network name and password. I have used both the WEP key, which I have always used, and something that the sticker on the router refers to as the Mac ID, which is the WEP but with two zeros before it. Still the screen shakes as if I have entered the wrong password. I'm not sure what's going on now.

I'm interested in this, too. (Thanks for bringing up the
topic!) My
guess, however, is that you won't see a flood of feedback.
The timeline
metaphor is deeply engrained in the Flash developer mindset.
Building a
slide presentation-based movie (the relatively new "screens
feature") just
doesn't feel like working in Flash. I don't think many people
use
screens -- though maybe it's too early to tell. I could be
completely off
base, of course, and I welcome friendly dissenters.
I think Macromedia was hoping to appeal to the Visual Studio
crowd with
screens. I'm curious to see how Adobe continues the idea. In
any case, at
present, there's a kind of ActionScript mini-framework that
gets added to
screens-based SWFs. This framework is what allows screens to
behave like
screens rather than timelines. It is important to realize,
however, that
all SWFs are, in the end, SWFs. The screens metaphor is no
more "real" than
the timeline metaphor is. Both are just user interfaces to
translate our
human instructions into something the Flash Player can
understand.
I don't much care for the fact that this framework adds 27KB
to a SWF
before anything else is even added. Start a new Slideshow
Presentation and
immediately test the SWF (Control > Test Movie). In the
resulting Flash
Player window, select View > Bandwidth Profiler to see how
much the SWF
weighs. Do the same with a normal Flash document and compare
the two.
To answer your specific bullet points:
- Stability
I have no opinion here, I'm afraid. I simply haven't
produced enough
screens-based SWFs to make a fair assessment.
- Range
Not sure what you mean, here. Are you asking if
screens-based SWFs can
be bigger, hold more content?
- Limitations
The end result in either case is a SWF, and a SWF is what it
is.
- Preference
I prefer the timeline metaphor because I've been using it
since Flash 3.
I use Flash for everything from applications to cartoons to
video, so in my
workflow, timelines makes more sense.
- Experience
Very little experience with screens (because I don't care
for them).
Plenty of experience with Flash in general.
- Pros
I would imagine -- and I can only imagine -- that some
people prefer the
"slides" format. To me, it feels like PowerPoint, which I
don't much care
for.
- Cons
The aforementioned extra SWF weight. 27KB isn't a deal
breaker, and
it's certainly less bulky than any of the v2 UI Components,
but ehh. For
what that's worth, I think it's a con. My programming skills
have matured
along with the phenomenal advances in ActionScript in recent
years. I
crossed a milestone back in Flash MX, I think, where Flash's
under-the-hood
mechanisms really started "clicking" with me. (To be sure,
the learning
process never ever stops ... I'm *still* learning, and things
are *still*
clicking for me, but I digress.) To me, the screens metaphor
introduces a
new (in my opinion, unnecessary) layer of abstraction to a
lean-but-powerful
environment I already know and love.
- Accuracy
Not sure what you mean here.
- Problems
I don't use screens often enough.
- Errors
Ditto.
- Likes
This is reflected in my views on Pros and Cons.
- Dislikes
Ditto.
- Load Balancing
Again, not sure what you mean.
- Customization
Good question!
- Coding Development/Programming
None of the programming books I've read even touch screens.
- Control
Control of what?

Anybody using the Windows 8 Start screen?

My original question was: Can we place bundle icons on the Windows 8 Start screen, alongside those "Modern/Metro" Windows apps?
But then I figured I should back up and ask whether anyone with a large ZCM deployment is even presenting the new Windows 8 Start screen to their users.
If you've deployed Windows 8, I'd love to hear your feedback.

I have test units that I am working with. I have had none of my current Start Menu apps showing up. This has been a minor item on my list of things to work with so I haven't investigated possible causes or if this is even supported. Honestly in my environment I would love to be able to push the older start menu/Desktop style and skip Metro. My teachers are going to freak when they start to use this new style. I had a hard time with the Windows 7 changes with some of the staff. My staff has a real hard time with change so Windows 8 is going to be a hard sell.
What type of devices are you looking at for Windows 8? I have been looking at whether I need to be looking for touch based Laptops or move to a more Tablet with a keyboard type environment.

Flash Slide Presentation...how to control volume?

Hello,
I am working in Flash Slide Presentation mode. I have a
started a sound file playing on the "master" slide and I want it to
play throughout my entire presentation. However, on a couple of
slides, I want to play some short voice clips. How can I "turn down
the volume" a bit on the main sound file so as to hear the short
voice clips? And then turn it back up when the voice clip ends?
I understand basic Actionscript. Can anyone tell me the code
or point me to a tutorial which I can use to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Ah, I was tying the (unavailable ) controller number and I didn't see the pitch controller option spelled out in plain sight!

use a sound instance to create your background sound. and, how to control your flv sound depends on what you did to display your flv.

Flash slide presentation

Hey hi
I am trying to make a slideshow/movie with the slide
presentation feature. I use flash cs3 on a mac, but I don't think
that matters ?
I have put all my photos I am using onto into individual
slides. I have set cue points.
When i test it, nothing happens. It doesnt go to the next
slide.
I am trying to redo the opening on
mogullife.com but with more photos
and a different song. I have done exactly what I want done on a
keynote presentation, but when I export it to flash, the
transitions will not work, so I am here.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? You can
message me on here or on ichat or on myspace or email or call or
snailmail. Anything. I really wanted to do this soon.
Thank you in advance for any help.

From your description, it sounds like you have each of these
5 screens
stacked one on top of the other, maybe each is in a different
layer,
maybe some other method.
It sounds like you are setting the alpha property of the
clips or the
individual elements to 0. If that's the case, then, yes, the
buttons
will remain active. If you change the visible property to
false, the
buttons will not be active.
Another method for showing this content would be to place
each screen's
content on a separate frame. So that you have only the
content that you
want on any given frame. Then you can navigate from frame to
frame
without concern for the other content.

Flash Slide Presentation Format vs Flash File

I mistakenly made a fairly robust animation (15 layers about 5 min long with sound) in a Flash Slide Presentation document. The entire animation sits in slide number 1 (no other slides in this doucument). I need to take this animation out of the Slide Presentation mode an put it into a regular flash file because other applications are reading the presentation holder slide and not reading the animation. Is there a way to get rid of the "Presentation (parent) holder slide or do I need to copy the whole thing to another document? If so how do I do that? Thanks in advance for your help,

shift-click and drag across all the frames of your animation to select all the frames, then right click and click copy. go to a new swf and right click on a frame and click paste.

Flash Slide presentation and movieclip looping

Hi,
Im having a problem with the flash slide presentation. I have
on the main timeline of one of my slides a movieclip. When i play
the movie, the clip will loop endlessley. I would like the movie
clip to play just once. In a regular flash movie this would not be
a problem - i could put a stop action on the last frame of the
movieclip. but, doing that in the context of a flash slide freezes
the movieclip at the begining so it does not play at all..
help!

Ok, Ive managed to solve item 2. - if you set in the slide
component inspector - "playHidden=false" then the slide animation
will restart any time you reenter the slide. Im still lacking an
understanding of how to stop a motion tween from repeating itself
when it's contained within a movie clip as a motion tween timeline
cannot recieve fram actions apparently...

Starting a swf slide presentation at random slide

I have a swf slide presentation of 9 slides. I would like the
swf to start at the beginning of a randomly chosen slide. Any ideas
on how to do this? I saw some msgs here about starting at random
frames, but nothing pertaining to slides.
Thanks, John

You can import pictures into programs such as Photoshop and sharpen them or make other corrections but the results will depend on how much information remains in your photo. It is always better to work with the original image than to copy it out of a power point presentation. I am moving the discussion to the Photoshop forum in case you need more help.

Flash 8 Slide presentation

Hello- I am using Flash 8 and a slide presnentation format. I
am creating a computer based training module. I have buttons
created that go back and forth through the slides of the whole
presentation. How do I disable one of those buttons on a specific
slide until a certain frame? Is it possible doing the slide
presentation?
I am also trying to figure out after the slide presentation
is gone through once, if the user decides to go back through the
slides, how do I make the slides replay? As of right now - they are
stopped on the last frame in the slide.
Thanks!

Hey there - here's an example Slide show file that reads the

Anyone familiar with Flash 8 Slide presentations?

I am creating a Computer based training using the slide
presentation format in Flash 8. I created buttons on the parent
slide to appear in all child slides. I want to disable the buttons
for 15 seconds on each slide. Is this possible?
I have used: button.enabled = false with set interaval....
this only works on the first slide and not the others.
Can anyone help me???

Please help -- Flash Slide Presentation

I've completed a Flash Slide Presentation (here at
work, which should be online right now). There are no nav buttons
displayed, but the left and right arrow buttons work when run
directly as a flash movie (test movie). As soon as I use the
published html file to load the movie, however, the arrow keys no
longer work, and I still see no nav buttons. Is the template bad?
I've read several tutorials on creating a slide presentation and
I've followed all the steps. I'm just beginning with action script,
so I'm obtuse about these things.
Thanks

It is hard to tell the problem by just your description. If
you could post your file it would be a great help. Only thing I can
suggest is looking for any stop(); actions in your timeline.
At the end of your movie if you don't use a stop(); action it
should loop forever.
