I would like to remove the navigation controls and at times the scrubber bar in Presenter. I found this:http://www.connectusers.com/forums/cucbb/viewtopic.php?id=1614
I tried using the Flash code that was suggested:
Go into Flash and create a small stage size, like 18 x 18 pixels. Don't worry about creating any artwork, because you won't be using any!
Instead, on the very first frame of Layer 1 (which you'll see in the timeline), click that empty keyframe and hit F9 (or Windows -> Actions).
When the Action panel appears, add the following line of code:
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
_root.m_controlBar.m_scrubBar._visible= 0;
}
OR for buttons:
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
_root.m_controlBar.m_slideNextBtn._visible= 0;
_root.m_controlBar.m_slideBackBtn._visible= 0;
_root.m_controlBar.m_slideBackBtnBG._visible = 0;
_root.m_controlBar.m_slideNextBtnBG._visible = 0;
}
Save your FLA (name it whatever you want) and create a swf file out of it by either publishing your flash file (File -> Publish) or hitting Control / Enter on your keyboard.
Then, back in PowerPoint, using Presenter's Insert Flash option, place the swf on the first slide of your PPT deck. If you save and publish the PPT file, the playback bar, along with the scrubber button ojbect, will be completely eliminated!
However, I cannot get it to work. I have tried publishing to Adobe Flash 8 & 9, and ActionScript 2 and 3. I am using the most recent update to Presenter that support AS3.
Is this indeed a method that works? I cannot get it to give the desired results. There was also a suggestion to modify the vconfig.xml file, which I have not tried yet - as I would prefer something a little more dynamic and controllable - like this.
Thanks.
