Suppress Play Button in Template

[SamC2]

The "Play" button dominates the "Next" button in all presenter templates. Students get disoriented when "Play" is accidently pressed.

Is there a way to suppress "Play" by editing the template XML shell?

If you're familiar with Flash and Actionscript, you can use a Flash module to modify the player (which is just another Flash module itself). Try including this Actionscript on a button (or something else the user would have to click) that you drop in at the start of your PPT presentation:

_root.m_controlBar.m_playBtn._visible = false;

This will disable the play button for the duration, but is sort of a "hack" and totally unsupported by MacroDobe.

:)

By the way, if you change it to:

_root.m_controlBar.m_playBtn._onRelease();

it simulates pressing the play button - you can use this to programmatically control the Breeze player.

The other controls are:
m_volumeBtn
m_attachmentsBtn
m_slideBackBtn
m_slideNextBtn
m_playBtn
m_viewChangeBtn
m_scrubBar

Mark,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm on leave, but will give this a try this weekend.
