PowerPoint in a loop on S+

[Terry73178]

Hey does anyone know how to run a ppt through an S+ loop? I mean i can gt it to play its just getting it to go to the next cue?

Do you have it looping in PP? All it does is open up PP viewer to show thru Sunday Plus.

So you need to have the slides timed and have it looped in the master file. Then bring it in to Sunday Plus and the viewer will take it over and show what the master file was set up to do.

Hope that helps

I think I may be missing something... are you wanting the PPT itself to loop, or do you want it to play during a S+ loop?

a s+ loop

AFAIK, as long as all of the slides are timed and the PPT isn't set to loop, then it should work. Back when we used SP, I never really used loops that much so I'm not sure. I may pull out my laptop and check it out tonight or tomorrow.

I can loop the powerpoint but i can't get it to go to the next S+ screen.

When you go to a PowerPoint presentation in Sunday Plus, control is turned over to the PPT viewer and SP sorta just twiddles it's thumbs until you leave the PPT Viewer and then 'it wakes up' and the normal SP functions return.

That's why if it convert it into a Flash Movie, it will play in a loop because the QuickTime Player will play it because SP is controlling the QT Player.

Hopefully this will help

I've never used flash, but I seem to remember that the flash file must be saved in a format that is one less than the Quicktime player you use. For example, QT 7.x requires Flash files be made in version 6 of flash or earleir. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.
