Re: Powerpoint to LiveCode

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

Hi Paul - I haven't done it although I have gone the other way, creating 
content/media with LiveCode and merging it (text, images, audio files) into a 
PPT template file (which is then converted to Keynote and exported as a video). 
Anyway, getting access to the screen content/media for each PPT screen is like 
you say relatively straightforward, not sure about parsing the slideX.xml files 
once you get it into an LC array though, like most MS generated files that 
structure looks very messy.

Hi Rick,

Powerpoint can export to HTML, and while I have not looked at Keynote's 
HTML export, I think you would be just trading one problem at file 
parsing for another. Tools like PowerPoint and Keynote export to HTML 
with CSS, so you can't just:

set the htmlText of field x to URL tPresentationFile

You'd still have to parse the HTML/CSS into something LiveCode can 
understand.

Again, I know how to do this. My questions is: Has someone already done 
it or even part of it?

Would it?  I've found the revXML external to be pretty nice.

I was able to use it with the revZip external to transform Word/odoc 
into an LC styledText array in an afternoon (at least the basics I 
needed at the time).

Hi Paul,

If you had access to a Mac you could import
your Powerpoint presentation to Keynote, make 
whatever changes you want and then Export it 
as HTML. It’s really cool how it works.  

Keynote can also Export to Powerpoint too, as 
well as PDFs.

Then import into LiveCode?

Powerpoint to LiveCode

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

Out of curiosity, has anyone created a library that will import  - the 
parts of a Powerpoint presentation that can be recreated in Livecode -  
into a LiveCode stack?


Of course .pptx files are actuall just ZIP archives with assorted XML 
files inside, while there is a path to importing .pptx files, it is not 
simple. Use revZIP to open the .pptx file, use revXML (or your howm 
grown xml parser) to extract the XML for each slide (each a separate 
file in the archive) and rectreate those slide elements support in LiveCode.


So, I know HOW to do it.

I am asking if any one has already built such a library (or even started 
it)?

Hi,

the people at HostM  created a free API solution which allows  a LC Desktop or 
Mobile app to communicate over https with a Maria DB (compatible with MySQL) 
using Livecode Server.

You can download their api solution here
