Multiple Slideshows

[MikeyUK]

OK - so I'm sure this topic has been raised before. I'm a relative newcomer to PTE and have successfully put together several programmes. Can someone help me out - what I'm trying to do is put all slideshows on a CD with a 'Front Page' whereby I can 'click' on to the slideshow I want from a menu. Hope this makes sense. Also - are there any useful tutorials I can read?

Thanks

Hi, Mikey

What you need to do is, after you have compiled your individual slidshows, make a new slide show consisting of only one slide (or two, depending on how you want it to open), and add buttons programmed to "run application or open file" (in "Object / button / properties / action on mouse click"). Browse to the name of the slide-show ".exe" file and use that as the name of the file to open. Do this for each button for each show you want to open. Then, after each show has run, you will be returned to the introduction show.

My tutorial, "PTE 101", available on Beechbrook", will show you how to use the object editor. Hope this helps.

Ken is right - there are many different possible layouts and various members have submitted several excellent tutorials on this subject.

My tutorial doesn't show how to set up a menu page - it just describes the use of the various buttons and text objects themselves, and where to find them.
