Flash :: Udemy Mash-up A PowerPoint Presentation With A Video For A Synchronized Play?
Jul 28, 2011
If you have used Udemy (I have used Zenation earlier, which is not as good as the app developed by Udemy.) to create a mash-up of a .ppt file with a video, you would know how wonderful it is. I would like to get an overview how they have built this application.My guess is that first the application converts the .ppt slides into JPEG images which are then imported to flash so that the user can easily time-stamp the images while the video plays. Pretty much like sub-titles work. But, I am not sure about my guess.
I am trying to mimic a powerPoint presentation with Flash MX. I have 19 different slides and have created 19 small flash files, one for each slide. I am using alpha transperency to fade text and images in and out. I have also used the load feature to have another movie file load and play when the last one is finished.It works fine locally on my machine but when I upload it to the server to be viewed by all I get pauses in between movie files.
I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves.
I'm trying to create a flash video that will incorporate powerpoint-like slides along with video footage. So for instance I will have slide 1 (graphic) - slide 2 (video clip) - slide 3 (text). I have used CS4 before for one of my classes but that was a little while ago, and I feel like I'm starting over again. When I import the first graphic (.png), is there an option to have it resize to fit the stage?
I've been wanting to create a flash presentation similar to the one on the page of this website.This is NOT my website by the way. Does this require actionscript? http:[url]........
I know it will take some time to learn and develop and I'm willing to put in the time to learn. I just would like to learn from a professional tutorial and not some random, generic looking tutorial that doesn't really teach a thing.
Im building a flash presentation in AS2.As the FLA video plays I have timed cue point that will make a slide appear to the side of the video.The video will contain around 30 cue points but I dont know how to do the action script.I currently have the below that works for one event. How do I do multiple events.
myFlvPlayback1.addEventListener ( "cuePoint", this );function cuePoint ( eventObj:Object ){gotoAndPlay("1"); }
I'm trying out Flash CS4, and am using it to create a slide presentation. as I feel stuck at the moment. Here's what I need: An intro slide to act as a "front cover", giving the user of the presentation a chance to load it up before initiating the following content. The next slide to contain a video, which starts playing as soon as the slide is loaded. Also on this slide, a few pieces of text need to appear at certain times as defined by me.
Here's what I have so far: A blank 'slide1', ready for my content. Presenter presses the right arrow and it proceeds onto slide 2. A 'slide2', which has my flv video clip placed on it with optional play controls. So I need to know how to start the flv player automatically when slide 2 is opened. I think I need to place some ActionScript on frame 1 of slide2, but I don't know what. If I set the video to 'autoPlay' in the component inspector, it starts as soon as the swf presentation is opened, which is not what I want - it should only auto play when it's own slide is navigated to.
I am creating a flash presentation for something that I'm doing at university on Friday, and the video is the only thing in the presentation that isn't working.The presentation I have some words, music and video and the words and music are playing fine (but the music and video are on the FLVPlayback thing so I think that's causing a problem, but I can't see how I can separate them) and the video comes into play.When I put the actionscript - stop() - at one bit of the presentation, nothing plays afterwards, and I'm wanting the whole thing to stop at the end of the music, and when a line of the presentation to come up (which is the last line) and then the video is just the one thing that is playing, along with this line which is stationary under the video.I've used Flash before, but not with sound or video as I had no call for it, but now I do its not working.
I have created animated presentations (since now, I have just videos) for my seminars at the university with cinema 4D and I added some effects with After Effects (CS5). Now, I want to build an interactive presentation. That means:
- The (video projector) presentation starts with a video in a loop.
- When I click a button on the mouse/keyboard, the video finishes the loop until the end and
My compnay provides webcasting services to numerous clients, and we currently use Windows Media Encoder as our base software for these projects. However, I'm interested in switching to Flash Media Server, but need to figure out one issue and how to implement it in such a way like how we are currently using Windows Media Encoder.
We need a way to stream out a live audio/video feed AND have a way to control a presenter's POWERPOINT slides and have them advance by our command when streaming live.
Basically, the way we do it is we will stream out audio/video from WME and also use the encoder's SCRIPTING functions to send out a "url" from the encoder to the actual page in which the viewer is watching the live embedded stream. On that page is an embeded/internal frame which we can specify (using the id/name) that the url gets loaded, and this actually advances the slides (or more so pulls up a pre-created html page of the next slide in the person's powerpoint, which is actually a screenshot or exported image of that slide and embedded within a specific HTML file and hosted on the same server as the embedded player/html file)
Would there be a way to send out this same type of script using FMS? I've been playing around with it and notice the interface itself does not have a built in scripting function like Windows Media Encoder does. However, I did read somewhere that it supports ActionScript... but I have no clue how to implement this feature.
I am just curious how it might be able to go about doing this? Is there a way to use an [action]script with FMS and have it send out a URL to a specific frameset embedded on the same page as the Flash Media Encoder Playback?
Hopefully this make sense and that someone can point me in the right direction. Switching to FMS over Windows Media Encoder is the way I would love to go, just need to figure out how this could be done.
Would a better method be converting the powerpoint slides to a swf or flv file, embedding that file within the same page as the FMS playback, and somehow using a script to "advance" the frames/slides/scenes within that file? I also heard something about Flash "Shared Objects" and how this could be a way of controlling a swf file remotely.
i've put some sound FX for some listeners, but the sound delays a little, does this happen all the time during play back? would it be fixed if i upload it to the website?
here is the code:
ActionScript Code: var PgMv:Sound = new Sound(); var PgMvChnl:SoundChannel; PgMv.load(new URLRequest("sounds/pagemove.mp3"));
I'm looking to create something within Flash that I've not yet seen done.It will be a shared, real-time interactive session. What I want to know is, is it possible to create an individual, private session within Flash that is synchronized between two or more computers? I am doing this for the medical profession, but I can also see this would have benefits in the gaming community as well. I'm trying to create something that two specific users can interactively share in real time.
For example,a coloring book.Two players,or as many as you want, log in together and share a private coloring session. They will be able to interactively see anything that the other person is coloring in real time.The other people would also be able to color and let everyone else see their work.
I have got to update one of his jobs.It's a set of images that scroll left and right with the mouse and scroll to the left when first loaded, also they enlarge when moused over, oh and they are buttons (this whole 'idea' was thought up by the client with a "I want it to do this" statement), and the code is a right mess.
All I have been asked to do is add an extra image, but I have added the image and the whole thing has broke. With some large gaps being added within the images.Can someone have a look at it and see what's going on, Alternatively i there is a better solution to get the same result (There has to be this looks like some sort of mash of various bits of other code).Links: Ziped FLA, SWF & current live site (about a third down the page next to "chose your favourite sport")
I'm a designer at a company. In every day life I use flash for creating banners, simple slideshows and presentations. Nothing complicated really. I have managed to learn some simple expressions.I'm making my presentations in as3, because i'm also using flashEff for the cool text effects. This time i'm assigned to make a presentation that has videotrailers in it. I have no idea where to start.What are the keywords i have to look in to and what to i need to learn the get the new task done.The presentation has 20 slides, each slide contains some content that appears on mouseclick command. I'm navigating from one slide to another with arrow keys. 10 slides are going to contain a player with the trailer (length max 30 sec).
I am developing a presentation with data showing up through charts to run in a booth. It generally runs automatically. I want that to be interactive too. If somebody entering the booth want to check the data on clicking on the elements on the presentation.
i want to know if it is possible to play a video via flash player, when the video is located on different server's mysql. for example: i want to play video on [URL] which(video) is located in [URL] mysql
I was wondering how I can delay (2 seconds) a video to play in a Flash Video Player? I know one way is for me to add blank frames but I would like to know some other options.
I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.
I want to play smooth streaming video from IIS using the flash video player like e.g. jw flash player instead of silverlight player?Which video format should I use in this case? Can flash then play e.g a video via smooth streming encoded with microsoft encoder?Do you know some alternative video players, that combines flash and silverlight functionality (selected per java script) to use with flash and silverlight?
I want to play FLV video in a flash video player, and at the end of the buffering I want to access the data (video data, or buffered file) so I can manipulate it. For exemple in a ByteArray format so I can save it to local disk... With the NetStream and NetConnection I can play the video without problem, but I can't find a way to access the data. using the URLStream, I can download the video file [URL], and I can access the data I want but I can't play it?
Is there a way to play the URLStream, or to get data from the NetStream?
Or may be, I can access the cache of the browser to get the bufferd data played by NetStream?
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?
I'm using flash instead of powerpoint for a presentation. I want to use a remote clicker (like people use in pp presentations).I have one that works, but only when the cursor in on top of one of the buttons in the actual presentation. Icanmake the buttons in flash to travel backward and forward along the timeline, or to move to different movies etc. But I would like to use a clicker that will allow the presenter to just click a button to go back, and click the other button to go forward, without having to reposition the cursor on the laptop over the button he wants to interact with. Doesthis make sense? I have an invisible button in the lower left and right hand corners ofthe presentation. the remote clicker works, but only when it is over one of thsoe buttons. But the remote clicker is set up for powerpoint with a next slide and previous slide button that would be much more handy to use.
