I am looking for a pro to help me with Presenter

We have created some content in Presenter that we'd like to burn onto CD for distribution. I need help putting 8 modules together in a CD that will allow the participant to view each one consecutively, and be able to return to a "table of contents" at any time.

If you can help with this call me at 336 777 1947. Thanks!

Re: I am looking for a pro to help me with Presenter

Dainel,

Here's a couple of options:
- create an html index page as a toc/jumping off point for your users. this page can launch the presentations. each presentation could link to this page as a 'home' point or just link to the next presentation.

- create an html page that indexes each presentation and calls it via iframe.  you can then maintain your toc on the page while your viewers watch the presentation.  it would still be possible to call the next presentation from the previous, but just as easy to number them in the toc.  you could brand the page surrounding the presentations, too.


just a couple of ideas.

Hi Greg,
Thanks a lot for posting your ideas. We created a Presenter slide that served as an index, though the problem occurred when clicking on a "chapter." Launching a new chapter caused the message "flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe action from occurring..."
I am not very proficient but like learning new things. Would the html solution you are offering help me in this situation. My next step would be to figure out what an iframe is.

Re: I am looking for a pro to help me with Presenter

Here's a very quickly whipped up example.  If you copy and paste it into a text editor and save as .html or .htm it will run in your browser.

A simple iframe looks like this:

<iframe src="https://admin.na3.acrobat.com/_a787702210/p10082554/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="600" height="525"></iframe>

you should adjust the width and height accordingly.

Greg - it works! Neat. And yes, that was quick. I'm going to play around with this and see if we can achieve the results we're looking for. Thanks again for the idea.

Daniel,

You can also try using this article to build a Flash wrapper that acts as your "table of contents":  http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2 … /index.php

By building a "wrapper" you can actually make a UI around the Captivate/Presenter files that can control the file (e.g. pause/play) and determine various data points (e.g. when they are at the last slide). 

Regards,

Andrew

Re: I am looking for a pro to help me with Presenter

Hello all. I know this is an older thread, but hopefully, I can resurrect this with a new and related question.

The above html is very helpful.

Recently I needed to use iframes to embed a presentation with in a learning management system, which allows HTML items to be added into a course, easy enough. We embedded the Adobe Presenter urls within the iframe, as indicated above, and it worked seamlessly. However, the issue is that the audio does not play consistently. I tried multiple browsers and browser versions, and the audio sometimes plays and sometimes doesn't.

To eliminate that it is not an issue with the learning management system (Blackboard), we moved the videos offline, and the issue remains.

Has anyone experienced inconsistent audio when using iframes with presenter content?

Thank you.

Has anyone experienced with with audio play back using iframe with adobe presenter content?

Re: I am looking for a pro to help me with Presenter

Hi kmpalencia,

In our situation, we did not have any challenges with audio. We used the iframe solution for putting content on CD's and flash drives with an autorun.exe and it seemed to work fine.

For an LMS, we use moodle which plays presenter content in an iframe by default (at least the way we're using it.) No trouble with the audio there. I don't know if it makes any difference, but for moodle, we are not using the adobe-hosted content, we are instead uploading the scorm files onto the moodle platform. Works just fine.
