Ok, so I'm working on a sort of presentation creator using director...in other words I'm using one tool to make another tool that would allow users lowlevel control over a presentation sequence. The client wants me to be able to allow as assets video, images, sound, flash and most importantly powerpoint files.
I know that Director can import powerpoint but imports it into the presentation as assets -- which is great for translating from one to another -- but there's no way of allowing pps presentations to be added at runtime, right? So my thought was to use budapi or a similar xtra that would allow external control of a powerpoint player, when a pps asset is hit in the sequence, to flip from director to the external viewer, and when finished, flip back to director and continue on.... Thoughts? Am I nuts? I mean about this....
