It's probably better to implement drag and drop plus rubber-banding with some ActionScript code. Anyhow, my trials with an IK structure were not conclusive. These must then be converted to symbols.įinally, you cannot use component buttons (see the Flash component button tutorial). Same if you want to add lines and other graphics. To add an extra button, click in the initial layer (not the armature). To do so you need at least buttons and lines (arcs). You can use an IK structure if the concept map is hierarchical. Select all the frames of all layers (except the text field !), then increase the size to about 200 or 300% depending on the stage size.Unlock the text field and increase the font size, e.g.I suggest to create your own buttons (see the Flash button tutorial)Īlternatively you may change the buttons from the *.fla library.Since you may want to show extra stuff when you click on a concept make these buttons.Draw buttons for the most important concepts.So to create bullets, I rather just copy a bullet symbol.

Make the text field a multiline text field by selecting the Multiline option in the Property inspector or by setting the text field's multiline property to true. To use HTML tags such as, , and, you must:.Enable the text field's HTML formatting by selecting the Render Text as HTML option in the Property inspector or by setting the text field's html property to true.Pasting may take a long time since Flash translates most PPT graphics into lots of little shapes.Īccording to CS documentation, to use HTML in a text field, one must set several properties of the text field, either in the Property inspector or by using ActionScript: However, you can copy/paste these by first creating a textbox and then paste. The most funny thing: The bullet lists (that are so much in favor with PPT lovers) translate to bitmaps.Dotted lines are represented as set of graphics (one fore each dot).Text in boxes will translate one or several text boxes.Boxes for are shapes with 5 elements: 4 lines and the inside shape.This will show hierarchical groups of graphics. the display resolution your projector can handle. Select items in slide (or all with CRL-A).I didn't find any tool or automatic solution, but the following worked in CS4: using CS3 or CS4) only makes sense if you plan to create some cool animations. Of course, creating presentations with Flash by hand (i.e.
