Flex Flash based slideshows (no GUI tools) -


Anyone know how to create a slideshow with Flex, which has the following

  2. Ability to run MP3 or OG (mainly MP3)
  3. Ability to add images to each slide.

Basically, I want to make better PowerPoint presentations easily.

Ideally without a GUI tool, I want to reach a similar problem that we help you.

Our problem was with BIRT, Eclipse Report Generation Tool. This is a great product, but requires the use of BIRT Eclipse Designer (GUI) to generate report definitions (the best in the early version, tedious to buggy, especially to copy and modify the report design , Which very quickly designed many similar reports).

Since we wanted a batch approach to generate hundreds on the report design at a time (and to change the little stylish things and then completely reproduced) we created our Java-based tools , Which will take our simple report specification (50-odd line) and convert it directly into the BITT XML report design file (thousands of rows).

We already wanted our reporting subsystem to be already in existence since the simple report specification files - we were adding web reporting as an alternative.

This worked because all of our reports follow the same basic format - we did not need complex things in them.

It was necessary to reverse engineer the engine to find out how to use the GUI to make a link, then how to generate BIRT XML from their specification files. It was the most difficult bit.

It seems that you can follow a similar approach to your slideshows. Use the GUI tool so that you can generate the necessary XML files, then they will be made a reverse engineer.

So, I will create a completely empty slideshow with any content, then create a slide with text, with another animation, with second embedded OGG and so on, then by comparing the phase How does XML change for each added element to see

Then you can create a tool that gives your simple commands (e.g., add-slide , add-og , ad-text < / Code>, add-bullet ) and forward the relevant XML We have not used XML as a source (since I can not stand verbose), but if you use it So this is just a matter of XML conversion that you need.
