Actions in PTE - Ed Cloutman
Sometimes you may wish to run a series of short PtoExe extracts with music in a Pictures to Exe presentation where most of the images are controlled by yourself as you give a talk on your travels etc. This describes the method I use:
Complete your short automatic sequences with music or voice overlay as described in previous instructions on the web site. Save these in a convenient folder as .exe files. I make a folder for the presentation and use sub-folders for the music and accessory files. |
Make your presentation using images that will jog your memory when you want to run the action.
In the figure below I have used image number 5 (AGA06.jpg). Click on this slide to highlight it in the row along the bottom and the click on the Customise Slide button. In the customise slide window make sure Use customise settings is ticked The select the Effect page and tick Use own transition effect and select the Quick (no transition effect) radio button. Click OK. |
Now click the Object and animation button and select the Common page. Press the Action on Mouse click button and select Run slideshow with return.
|
Click the right hand end of the box below and locate the .exe file of the action you require > OPEN the file > CLOSE the objects and animation page and test the action with the preview button.
