Hello Matthias,
Here's my problem. I have a PowerPoint file
converted to a pdf. This pdf is then converted to a 'rawslides.swf'
where there is 1 slide per 1 frame in the swf.
The rawslides are added inside another .swf
for syncing up to an
audio or video track. All is good up to here, a
simple presentation file.
Now, I'd like to add the ability for users to print
the rawslides 6-up on a page for however many pages needed.
Basically I would prebuild the printable version of
the slides and embed this offscreen somewhere until needed.
Is there a way with swfc to add the rawslides.swf
like: .swf slides="rawslides.swf"
Then add 6 instances of 'slides' per printable
page with each instance already at a given frame?
The only way I have found so far to set the proper
frames is via an actionscript which fails to execute
when a print(myslides,"bframe"); is called. Usually
page 1 will print ok but page 2 and beyond
prints all 6 slides at frame 1 ignoring any
'gotoAndStop' actionscripts.
I've tried converting the rawslides.swf to
individual swfs but this approach increases the filesize far too
much.
When useing Flash MX to create slides "by hand" I
could drag the slides movieclip on stage and
change the instance
type to a 'graphic symbol' then tell the graphic display a frame
number.
This worked perfectly and did not add any
additional weight to the file.
Is the any swfc command to mimic a graphic symbol
type? something like:
.swf slides="rawslides.swf"
.put s1=slides 0 0 .scale=36%
.singleframe=1
.put s2=slides 300 0 .scale=36%
.singleframe=2
Any help is appreciated.
Chris
