Syntax

expression.GenerateSolidPresentation [filePath], [skinName], [slideRange]

Description

This method is new in FlashSpring Server 2.3 and avaliable only in FlashSpring3 object. It converts current PowerPoint presentation into solid Flash file.

Parameters

Name Description Type Optional Default value filePath Output Flash file directory. String Yes PowerPoint presentation file name. skinName The skin name of the current player. If you specify empty skin name, your Flash presentation will not be wrapped with the Player. Currently supported by standard player skins are: Standard, NavigationPanel, Banner and NullSkin. To see a list of available skins you need to check an XML file in C:\Program Files\FlashSpring Server 2\players\default\player.xml String Yes Empty string slideRange Index numbers of the slides to be converted into Flash format. Slide Range may be string, number or array. If you want to convert all slides in presentation simply pass this parameter as empty string. Variant Yes All slides

Return value

none.

Remarks

Standard skin for Player option will wrap your Flash movie into customizable player with thumbnails view, outlines view, slide notes view and presenter info. Navigation panel supports most commonly used navigation operations to control slide navigation of your Flash presentation. NullSkin will allow you to publish presentation without visible Player. If you pass empty skin name as a parameter, your Flash presentation will not be wrapped with the Player. In FlashSpring 2.3 you can set Banner skin that is specially optimized for creation. It doesn't support transition effects and sounds but therefore the output file size is smaller in comparison with no skin option.
