  2. Screen fading into start of A.V.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi 

    I've been looking at some of my old A.Vs and noticed that when running the EXE file the screen faded from whatever was on the Windows environment into the A.V. I haven't seen this effect in some time now but was wondering if is in the later versions of the program so I could use it again? It was a softer lead in to the A.V. as opposed to the sudden blackout of the screen.

  4. " .ptshow "

    Hi davegee thanks for replying.

    I downloaded a zip file about running shows from a menu system. When it unzipped to another folder there was the EXE file, which played o.k., but I was not able to open the " .ptshow ". I thought this would open in pte  as a project file so I could see how it was done.

    Or have I got the idea wrong?

    Hello all

    I would like to have an ICON with each of my presentations. I make ICONS with ICOfx and they seam to be proper ICONS but when I assign them to my EXE files in "Program Options" nothing happens. All I get is the Blue and silver start button for every show. I assume it is something that I am doing wrong. Can anyone tell me what it is I am doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jim,

    I seem to remember that we had a problem with icons some time ago and it was solved most of the time by rebooting the computer. Try that and if that doesn't do it we can ask Igor to look into it for you.

    Best regards,

    Lin

    Thanks Lin

    Once again you are there to help. Thank you.  After I posted the topic last night I continued to try for the icons and found they seam to work when you save the show in a root directory of a hard drive or usb stick but were less likely to work in a sub directory. I had no trouble with icons in previous versions of P2E running Windows 8 so I'm thinking it may be a Windows 10 glitch.

    So I'll wait and see if it changes in the next Windows update.

    Thanks again Lin

    Jim

  9. Rotating text

    in Styles & Templates

    Posted

    HI. I've been trying to make an "Intro" for my AVs. in the intro I wanted to have text rotating around an object. I managed to do this but only with the text revolving in a flat plain, see picture capture 004. Lin Evans makes, what looks to me, as being just what I want in his Text demo tutorial. However doesn't say how he gets the text to revolve and go up and down, see capture 002.

    I asked Lin about this and he referred me to the forum and his demo. The text revolving around the planet is what I've been trying to achieve. If Lin reads this perhaps he would explain what makes the text behave in this manner.

    Many thanks

    Jim

  10. Return markers

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    In an A/V is there a way to return to a menu at the beginning of the show from a slide or the end of an AVI video without having to press a key or mouse button?

    I made a tutorial show with several AVI's of my own making. They ran one after another in the show but what I wanted was at the end of each AVI the show to return to the menu, without having to press a key or button, and then wait for another selection to be made.

    The only way I could think to get round this was to copy the menu slide and place a copy in between every section of the show. This works but doesn't seem right to me.

    Can anyone help me?

  11. Multi layered keypoints

    Hi

    One of the things I have trouble with in p2e is, when using multiple objects you only see the key frames for the highlighted object. I saw a slideshow program recently which showed all the key frames of all the objects on different lines, one above the other, with the selected object's keyframes highlighted. This way I could see when key frames are conflicting  with each other. I think this would help everyone who struggles with key frames.

  12. New marker in slide to goto selected slide without key or mouse action

    in Suggestions for Next Versions

    Hi I've been making tutorials and slideshows for some time now but one thing I've not been able to do is collect a number of tutorials in the AVI format into the one show and have the show go back to the menu at the end of each AVI clip. So far i have been copying the MENU slide inbetween each AVI clip. I think a "marker" similar to the "action on mouseclick" that can be embeded in a slide at the end so as to send the program to another slide or action, such as sound effect, automatically.

  14. Buttons will not work

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi I am a newcomer to forums so please forgive me if i'm in the wrong area with this question.

    I am trying to make a menu out of a revolving number of images, something like a revolving cube only i'm using eight images.

    When I set up the image as a hyperlink it does not work.

    Can this be because the images are "Children"images inside "Children"frames.I've also tried adding text but this again is "Children"text and this didn't work either.

    I'v been fighting with this problem now for several evenings and am wondering if it at all possible.

    Any help would be gratefull.
