ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling A Flash Presentation Via Remote?

Jan 19, 2010

I have an instructor who would like to be able to advance his Flash presentation with the infrared remote control that came with his Mac laptop. He can do the Key Listener stuff himself, but does anyone know how to grab the input from the remote and map it to keystrokes?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Presentation With Remote?

Feb 23, 2011

I have been doing days worth of research and this is a topic I have yet to find much useful information on.  I create business presentations for a wide range of clients with adobe flash.  Up until now all user control has been done through the computer or via a timer so the user wasnt interacting at all.  We have started receiving requests for presentations where the presenter can interact with the presentation via a presentation remote.  Basically they want control over the presentation just like someone can with a remote in Powerpoint.
 
All my research on this topic up until now has been pretty much in vein.  We have tried to program flash with keystrokes and such but ran into issues as apperently all remotes do not use keystrokes to control the presentation (namely some logitech remotes do not).  So here is my question.
 
Does anyone have an idea on how we could set up a flash presentation to work with ANY remote our presenters may have?  I am hoping this is something we can program/build one time and then just copy and paste the code to each presentation.  Versus the alternative of contacting each client, asking what remote they will be using, and programming based on acquired information.

Controlling The Playhead Between Slides In Flash Presentation

Jun 23, 2009

After using Flash for many years for animation I've finally discovered the Flash Presentation document setup, but I'm stumbling at the first hurdle in getting my head around the document structure and how the playhead moves between slides/screens.
 
I have a small 48 frame animated "text bullet" which fades in and then glows for a second.  I have placed this on one layer in slide 2, and have tweened it so that it flies in from the left of the screen, stopping in the middle.  This is great but have noticed that when advancing to the next slide, slide 3, and then hitting the left arrow to go back to slide 2, the animated instance of the text bullet is at the same position/state as when I navigated away from slide 2 to slide 3.
 
So how come the playhead doesn't automatically jump to the start (frame 1) of slide 2 when I navigate back?  I have explored the Behaviours but haven't managed to sort out this very basic first step

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Presentation - Fade In / Out New Layers

Jan 11, 2010

I'm trying to do a presentation of some Adobe Illustrator graphics in flash for an architectural presentation. I want to zoom in on some content and have new layers fade in and out. I guess this is done by tweens, as I had some success in that direction. The problem becomes obvious when I want to control my presentation. I want to set cue points/keyframes/whatever so that the presentation will start at the click of a 'next button' or a click og the mouse. Then I want it to stop at some point when the tween/moving around of objects is done, so that I have talking time before playing the next tween with a click etc.

But this doesn't work for. How I can get access to MCs in a slide if its possible !!!!

Flash :: Silverlight - MVVM - Presentation Model In Flex Vs Presentation Model In Silverlight: Advantages And Disadvantages?

Apr 10, 2011

As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.

What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?

Flash :: Presentation.fla To Add Audio?

Nov 13, 2010

I have a presentation .fla from a client which is published to an .exe projector file. this is my first tome working on a file published for this so I'm a bit confused. Within the fla folder is another fla which is titled player. That file calls background music thru an xml file which I can figure later but my problem is this.
 
if I add the mp3 voiceover to the xml list when the published file plays it of course starts at 001.00 the voiceover needs to be edited to fit within the presentation. How can I drop the swf of the riginal presentation inside an app then add the voiceover on another layer and be able to edit to match sort of what I would do in IMovie. I have the CS5 master Suite so I'm sure one of the apps does this/

Resolution For Flash Presentation On Flatscreen TV

Oct 20, 2009

I'm going to be creating a Flash presentation that will run on a flatscreen TV at a trade show. I'm not certain what resolution to set up my Flash movie to. The TV is a widescreen Panasonic 42" TH42PH10BK with 1024 x 768 pixels, however when I set my animation to those values it looks 'squarer' than the TV. It looks like I need to set up the animation to a different resolution, but I don't know which!

Open PDFs From Flash Presentation?

Mar 27, 2009

I've been tasked with making a fairly simple Flash presentation that will be published to an exe and put onto a jump drive. I've done this before and at the time I just used the getURL command (IIRC) to open a PDF with a button click. I literally have 100's of PDFs to link to so I was wondering if there is a better way to do it (before I start using my old method) I'm using AS3 in Flash CS5. And I am NOT a big Flash user so maybe I just need to resort to the way i did it last time. Was just thinking there might be a more elegant way to approach this...that a novice could handle.

After the introduction in key frame 1, the timeline stops at the next key frame.From here, one can navigate forward and backward between the 5 content key frames, using buttons.These buttons are available throughout these five key frames.
 
Each of the key frames contains a relevant movie clip, with content.And also a sound clip to introduce what that key frame contains. Since a user can navigate forward and backward at any point of time, all these keyframes have the frame action:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Created A Flash Presentation For The Company?

Apr 11, 2008

First post - I'm a designer just picking up AS2 for the 3rd year - so I know how to get in trouble..nonetheless, I created a flash presentation for the company I work for and they want to use the demo at conferences and what not... It's a single scene with nested/nested/nested MC spewn throughout... right now everything was hodgepodged in AS3 as I was desperately trying to get familiar with it. So I suck

I can't figure out how to tell the topmost timeline (or root?) timeline to play as soon as an embedded mc finishes playing or even one layer above the nested MC - everything is on a timeline, nothing is loaded, I have no real programming skill anymore...or ever

my final result is to have my same button driven presentation run automatically so the buttons no longer need to be clicked to continue.
