Hi,
We’re really pleased with the progress being made with Aspose.PowerPoint - good job!
However, we now need a way of turning the resulting PowerPoint files into Flash using the same tools. What chance that you can provide this functionality? Thanks.
We’re planning to make the similar demo https://github.com/aspose-slides/Aspose.Slides-for-.NET for Aspose.Flash.
Did you mean you need a ppt2swf feature or write similar code to generate swf files from the scratch?
Dear Stephen,
At first, we are planning to write converter to SVG (vector graphics) format.
After that, other 2 converters will be created: svg2pdf and svg2swf.
Estimated time for all this work is 1-2 months.
Hi Ben,
Yes, we need to copy slides from PowerPoint presentations to make up a new presentation then, as well as (or instead of) saving the presentation as a new PowerPoint file, save it as a Flash movie too. There should be a mouse/spacebar key-press or arrow buttons included in the Flash movie to move between slides. It would be really neat if we can do the same with PDFs eventually too.
I guess a ppt2swf converter would be one answer but, because we would not be able to program it to the same extent, this may not be such a good solution.
Many thanks for your great products.
Stephen.
Hi Alexey,
Interesting. Would you consider a straight ‘ppt to swf and ppt to pdf’ version instead i.e. miss out the middle SVG step? This would speed up our processing and be likely to cause less conversion errors.
Also, for this to output a proper swf presentation, there needs to be a way of combining individual swf files (slides) into an PowerPoint-like swf movie and a way of stepping it on to the next slide? - please see my recent post to Alexy.
Many thanks,
Stephen.
Sorry, Alexey - I meant my recent post to Ben!
Stephen.
Dear Stephen,
Sure, created swf file will allow to switch between slides.
We will consider direct converting (without svg step) but svg can help to write new converters in the future easily.
I am currently evaluating your products.
We currently need a PPT2SWF converter where each slide is converted to a single SWF file. Navigation between resulting files does not need to be embeded in the SWF files as we provide this mechanism.
What is your estimated delivery date for the PPT2SWF converter?
Thanks in advance.
Richard Boyer
I think 1 month.
Aspose.PowerPoint and Aspose.Flash will be used for converting.
Hi Alexey,
What eventually happened (or is happening) about the PPT2Flash functionality, please? We could really use this now. Thanks.
Hello,
Ppt2Swf functionality was published long time ago.
Using Aspose.Slides with Aspose.Flash you can convert powerpoint slides to static swf images.
After that you can combine such images to swf movies using Aspose.Flash.
Ppt2Swf demo available in the Aspose.Flash.msi installation file.
Would such a solution (Aspose.Slides + Aspose.Flash ) also handle animations in the ppt?
Would the static swf images be created semi-automatically, or would one have to write code to pull the primatives out of Powerpoint and write them into Flash?
Sounds pretty cool!
Dear Jboutelle,
No it will not handle PowerPoint animation; it is only for static images.
You can save the slide into SVG format using Slide.SaveToSVG method of Aspose.Slides and then later import it into SWF file using FlashContainer.FromSVG method of Aspose.Flash.
Please see Ppt2Swf demo code, which is installed on your computer when you install Aspose.Flash. You can download it from here: http://www.aspose.com/Downloads/Aspose.Flash/Default.aspx.
