laura.pearce Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 I have recently started with Pictures to Exe and I would like to know how you get a presentation onto a separate start up screen with an icon so that when you click on that icon it will automatically start the presentation.... Quote

alrobin Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Laura Anne,Welcome!Ken has given you one way to do it.Another way to interpret your question is this: if you create a separate mini introductory show with only one or two slides, you can put a button on the opening slide, in "Object Editor", which, when you press on it, will open the main slideshow. You have to experiment with the various settings and parameters to get it to work the way you want it. To "program" the button, simply right-click on it (in Object Editor), select "Properties/Action" and "Run application or open file". Then type in the name of the main show, making sure it is in the same folder as the Introductory "exe" file after you have "created" and "saved" it. Quote

ronwil Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 Laura AnneI added the following to a thread in another section where you asked the same or similar question:The method which I think you may be after has been covered in previous threads and examples, so make a search for Intro Demo for a start. Also you may care to download my "Introdemo" from the Beechbrook site which was uploaded there a couple of years ago and thanks to Bill is still there.I always use an introductory sequence for all my shows with variations of the "platform" from which I launch the individual sequences. Examples included a page from a travel brochure, a click on a particular day in the itinerary launched the relevant sequence; and a click on a portrait of a camera club member launched their sequence. This involves the use of "invisible" buttons which you will find explained in the threads I have suggested above or you could search for just "Buttons".Ron [uK] Quote
