6.5 Publish to Flash Window - Media Tab

The Media tab allows you to configure compression settings for presentation. The lower
quality of images and audio/video objects, the smaller the size of your Flash presentation.
Compression
Use Preset iSpring Presenter provides you with 4 present

compression modes that optimize Flash movie
for publishing to the web with low or high
connection speed, publishing to the Local
Network drive or publishing on CD. Also you can
create up to 10 custom compression presets
special for your individual needs.
Page 59
Image compression If you check "Smart compression" mode for

converting your presentation to Flash, all images
will be saved keeping high quality and small
size. Read more about Smart compression in
(http://blog.ispringsolutions.com/?p=133) iSpring
blog. "Lossy" compression will convert and save
all embedded images to .jpg format. "Lossless"
compression converts all images in your
presentation with the highest quality.
Audio compression By default iSpring PRESENTER keeps original

quality of audio in presentation. If needed you
can set higher or less bitrate but it will influence
output file size and audio quality.
Video compression By default iSpring PRESENTER keeps original

quality of video in presentation. If needed you
can set higher or less bitrate but it will influence
output file size and video quality.
Flash Multimedia Tuning
Smooth raster images Smoothing usually enhances the quality of raster

images rendering but sometimes can lead to
undesirable results when the Flash movie is
created for Flash Player version 8 or higher. It is
recommended to set this propety to false when
the target Flash player version is 8 or higher
since the rendering quality of Flash Player 8 is
quite good and additional smoothing makes
raster images blurred.
Advanced Smart Art Processing This feature allows getting a better quality of
SmartArt objects and save the animation effects
applied to them. As this option is using
Clipboard, it is recommended not to use
Clipboard during the iSpring conversion process.
Due to technical characteristics some SmartArt
objects may look or play slightly differently. In
this case, the option may be turned off so that
SmartArt object will be saved as raster images
and animation will be lost.
Detach media content
Using these options makes sense if you convert presentation into solid Flash movie.
Flash movies If you check this option, your presentation and
Page 60
embedded Flash movies will be saved into

separate .swf files.
Video clips Check this option if you have large video clips
embedded into your presentation. Each video
file will be converted into separate .flv files and
this will remove the limits of .swf format.
Audio Files In case the audio embedded into your

presentation is large, it is recommended to
enable this option. The audio will be saved into
separate file and your Flash presentation will
load faster.

11.1 iSpring ActionScript API

iSpring products provide PowerPoint to Flash conversion facilities on the highest level.
Page 109
Moreover, Flash content created with iSpring Presenter and iSpring SDK provides
programmatic control facilities - it can be loaded and controlled by external Flash movies.
This article is a brief overview of the following topics:
• Presentation conversion modes
• A solid Flash presentation
• A compound Flash presentation
• Standalone Flash slides
• Presentation playback control facilities
• Slide playback control facilities
• Skin development facilities
11.1.1 Presentation conversion modes overview

iSpring can convert PowerPoint presentations into one of the three following formats:
1. A Solid Flash Presentation. This is one solid Flash file containing player core, skin,
preloader and presentation resources. Solid Flash presentation is the most compact type
of Flash presentations. It is optimized for progressive downloading and starts playing as
soon the player core, the skin and data for the first slide are loaded. However, due to
Flash format limitations, it is suitable for small and medium size presentations (50-200
slides). A Solid Flash Presentation structure is shown in the following picture.
Page 110
Solid Flash Presentation structure

2. A Compound Flash Presentation. This type of presentation consists of the playback
module and a set of presentation resource files such as slides, thumbnails, sounds,
Presenter photo, company logo and presentation attachments. Playback module is a Flash
file containing the player core, the skin and the preloader. A compound presentation
structure is shown in the following picture.
Page 111
Compound presentation structure

Since all presentation resources are stored in separate Flash files, the compound Flash
presentation allows playback of large presentations containing hundreds of slides. Slide
related resources such as fonts and images are not shared between slide files (i.e. each
slide has its own copy for fonts and images) in comparison with Solid Flash presentation,
so the overall size of a compound presentation is 50-120% larger than size of the
corresponding solid flash presentation.
3. Standalone Flash Slides. Each presentation slide is converted to the standalone Flash
file which can be played independently from other slides. However standalone slides do
not play slide transition effects and do not perform slide switching. Standalone slides can
be loaded and managed by external Flash application, so this conversion mode is mainly
suitable for Flash developers. Standalone slide structure is shown in the picture below.
Page 112
Standalone Slide Structure
The detailed description of the Flash Presentation Structure can be found in the following
article.
iSpring Presentation Structure
11.1.2
Presentation playback control facilities
Flash presentations created with iSpring can be controlled programmatically. For this
purposes solid and compound Flash presentations provide Flash Presentation ActionScript
API, a set of ActionScript 2.0 interfaces for controlling presentation playback and
navigation. The following article provides a detailed description of the Presentation API
methods and interfaces.
Page 113
Flash Presentation ActionScript API Reference
11.1.3
Slide playback control facilities
Standalone slides provide Flash Slide ActionScript API, a set of ActionScript 2.0 interfaces
for controlling slide playback and navigation. The following article provides a detailed
description of the Slide API.
Flash Slide ActionScript API Reference
11.1.4
Skin development facilities
iSpring generated presentation can be wrapped into a "skin", a special user interface module
which simplify presentation navigation displaying slide thumbnails and other navigation
elements. There are several predefined skins providing various UI capabilities - from the
"NullSkin" having no navigation elements to the "Advanced" one.
iSpring users are not limited by the set of predefined player skins. Skin modules can be
developed by any Flash developer familiar with ActionScript 2.0 and basic principles of
Object oriented programming. The following article describes the skin development process

iSpring Presentation Structure
Skin Development Reference
11.2 iSpring Presentation structure

Each iSpring generated Flash presentation consists of the following parts.
• Presentation assets
• Player core module
• Skin module
iSpring presentation structure is shown in the following diagram.
Page 114
11.2.1 Presentation assets
Presentation assets are various multimedia resources containing within the presentation.
When a presentation is a solid Flash movie file, all resources are stored within this file
optimized for progressive downloading from the Internet. When a presentation is converted
to a set of Flash files with player, each resource is stored in a separate file.
11.2.2 Player core module
Player core is a Flash module which loads presentation assets and controls slide animations
effects, transition effects and sounds. Player core is a blackbox providing external Flash files
and skin modules with programmatic navigation and playback control via ActionScript API.
Page 115
In order to load and play presentation slides the core needs a target MovieClip object where
slide assets are loaded. Since the location of this MovieClip depends on skin user interface,
each skin module exposes the ISkin interface to inform the core about slide assets target
movie clip.
11.2.3 Skin module
Skins are Flash modules which main responsibility is providing the player core with the
MovieClip where slide assets should be loaded and displayed. Skins also provide viewers
with navigation and playback facilities. Skins interacts with the player core via ActionScript
API provided by player core.
There is a set of predefined skin modules with iSpring products. Some of them provide
simple user interface while other skins provide full featured customizable User Interface.
It is possible to develop a customized skin module using Player Core ActionScript API
functionality. You can find more information in the Skin development article.

11.3 Flash Presentation ActionScript API Reference
11.3.1 Flash Presentation ActionScript API Reference

Solid and compound Flash presentations generated with iSpring contain the player exposing
an ActionScript API which provides external Flash applications with programmatic access to
the Flash presentation:
• Presentation playback control - navigation by slides, animation steps, and position, ability
to play and pause presentation
• Sound volume control
• Playback event notifications
• Access to the presentation information
iSpring generated Flash presentations are able to start playing being loaded from the Internet;
this significantly reduces the delay between the beginning of the loading and the first slide
playback. As soon as the player core and the first slide data are loaded, the getPlayer()
function becomes available on the root MovieClip of the loaded Flash presentation. This
function returns the fsplayer.api.IPlayer interface providing an access to the rest interfaces of
the Flash presentation. There is the fsplayer.api.CPresentationLoader class which simplifies
loading of the the presentation and obtaining its fsplayer.api.IPlayer interface.
Flash Presentation ActionScript API interfaces are shown in the following diagram.
Flash Presentation ActionScript API diagram
The following table lists all interfaces and classes of the Flash Presentation ActionScript API.
They are located within fsplayer.api package.

11.3.4 fsplayer.api.IAnimationStep Interface

The IAnimationStep Interface provides the information about animation step timings. It
exposes the following methods:
Methods
Method Description
getPlayTime():Number Returns animation step play time (see the remarks

section)
getPauseTime():Number Returns animation step pause time (see the remarks

section)
getStartTime():Number Returns animation step start time (see the remarks

section)
getPauseStartTime():Number Returns animation step pause start time (see the

remarks section)
Page 122
getPauseEndTime():Number Returns animation step pause end time (see the

remarks section)
Remarks
Each slide consists of one or more animation steps with the following structure.
Animation step structure
An Animation step starts playing at the Step start time. Animations are playing for the Play
time. Then, at the Pause start time, animations are suspended for the Pause time period till
the Pause end time. Pause time depends on slide timings that were set using "Record
narration" or "Rehearse timings" menu of PowerPoint.
stepStartTime0 = 0
pauseStartTimei = stepStartTimei + playTimei
pauseEndTimei = pauseStartTimei + pauseTimei
stepStartTimei+1 = pauseEndTimei
Page 123
If the slide has no timings (i.e. user has to click slide background to advance mouse-driven
animations), Pause time and Pause end time are undefined. In this case returned timings are
as follows:
pauseEndTimei = undefined
stepStartTimei+1 = pauseStartTimei

IAnimationSteps Interface
11.3.5 fsplayer.api.IAnimationSteps Interface

The IAnimationSteps Interface provides the information about animation steps on the slide.
Methods
Method Description
getStepsCount():Number Returns number of animation steps on the slide
getDuration():Number Returns the total duration of animation steps in

seconds. The duration of animation steps is equal to
the duration of the slide
getStep(index:Number):IAnimationStep Returns the IAnimationStep Interface providing the

information about animation step timings
Remarks
Slide animation timeline consists of one or more animation steps. Animation step is a
sequence of animation effects playing without mouse click requirement.
Slide background, static shapes, and shapes animated before the first mouse driven animation
are playing at the animation step 0. So there is at least 1 animation step in each slide.
Each mouse-driven animation along with the subsequent non mouse-driven animations are
playing at the separate animation step. In other words, the number of animation steps is equal
to number of on-click animations plus 1.
Example
Page 124
There are 4 animation effects in the following slide. They are represented by 3 animation
steps in the generated Flash presentation (click to start animations).
• Effect 1 starts "With previous" animation effect. It is played at animation step 0

• Effects 2 and 3 start "On Click". They are played at animation steps 1 and 2
• Effect 4 starts "After previous" animation effect. It is played at animation step 2 after
Effect 3.

notifies external objects about these events via IPlaybackListener interface. This interface
defines a set of methods which are invoked by playback controller when the corresponding
events occur. These methods are as follows.
Methods
Method Description
onPausePlayback():Void Invoked when presentation playback is suspended
onStartPlayback():Void Invoked when presentation playback is resumed
onAnimationStepChanged(stepIndex:Number):Void Invoked when slide animation step is changed during

playback
onSlidePositionChanged(position:Number):Void Invoked when playback position is changed during

playback
onCurrentSlideIndexChanged(slideIndex:Number):VoidInvoked when slide switching occurs
onSlideLoadingComplete(slideIndex:Number):Void Invoked when slide loading is completed
onPresentationPlaybackComplete():Void Invoked at the end of presentation playback
onKeyboardFocusStateChanged(acquireFocus:Boolean):Void
Invoked when interactive element of the presentation
Page 129
(e.g. a text field of a Quiz) acquires or loses keyboard

focus
onPlaybackSuspended():Void Invoked when automatick playback is suspeneded at

animation step end
onPlaybackResumed():Void Invoked when automatic playback is resumed on

user's request
In order to receive event notifications you need to create a class which implements
IPlaybackListener interface and pass the instance of this class to the addListener method of
the IPresentationPlaybackController interface.
Samples
The following example illustrates the simplest implementation of IPlaybackListener
interface.
Create MyPlaybackListener.as source file with the following content.
class MyPlaybackListener implements IPlaybackListener
{
function onPausePlayback():Void
{
trace("Presentation has been paused");
}
function onStartPlayback():Void
{
trace("Presentation playback was started");
}
function onCurrentSlideIndexChanged(slideIndex:Number):Void
{
trace("Current slide index has been changed to " + slideIndex);
}
function onSlideLoadingComplete(slideIndex:Number):Void
{
trace("Slide " + slideIndex + " has been just loaded");
}
function onSlidePositionChanged(position:Number):Void
{
trace("Current slide playback position was changed to " + position);
}
Page 130
function onPresentationPlaybackComplete():Void
{
trace("Presentation playback has been completed");
}
function onAnimationStepChanged(stepIndex:Number):Void
{
trace("Animation step index has been changed to " + stepIndex);
}
}
Usage of MyPlaybackListener class:
import MyPlaybackListener;
var presentation:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("presentation", 1);
var loader:CPresentationLoader = new CPresentationLoader()
loader.loadClip("c:\\test.swf", presentation);
function onPlayerInit(player:IPlayer)
{
var listener:MyPlaybackListener = new MyPlaybackListener();
player.getPlaybackController().addListener(listener);
}
Instead of implementing IPlaybackListener interface it is also possible to create an Object

instance with a subset of IPlaybackListener functions and pass it to the addListener()
method as it is shown in the following example:
var presentation:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("presentation", 1);
var loader:CPresentationLoader = new CPresentationLoader()
loader.loadClip("c:\\test.swf", presentation);
function onPlayerInit(player:IPlayer)
{
var listener = new Object();
listener.onCurrentSlideIndexChanged = function(index:Number):Void
{
trace("Current slide index has been changed to " + index);
}
player.getPlaybackController().addListener(listener);

[listener:ISlideThumbnailLoadingListener]):Void When the thumbnail is loaded, the notification will be
sent to the passed listener interface.
The target parameter is a MovieClip within the skin
MovieClip (see the remarks section)
Remarks
When the presentation is wrapped into a skin which supports thumbnails (Classic, Crystal,
Page 150
Advanced or Lite), iSpring generates thumbnails in one of the following ways:

• When the presentation is exported into a solid Flash movie, iSpring stores Flash
presentation thumbnails as internal Flash movie assets. Such assets are created using
MovieClip.attachMovie() method.
The reason for the target parameter of the load() method restriction is as follows:
thumbnails, the skin and the player core are located within the same Flash file, so
thumbnails assets are accessible within that Flash file only.
• When the presentation is exported into a set of Flash files with player, each thumbnail is
saved into a separate Flash file. Such assets are loaded using MovieClip.loadMovie()
method or via MovieClipLoader class.
The ISlideThumbnail interface provides skins with the unified way of internal and external
thumbnails loading. Thumbnails are loaded in the proper way by player core. The core also
notifies skin when the particular thumbnail is loaded via the
ISlideThumbnailLoadingListener Interface.

during slide switching.
This technique is used
only when the slide
containing an embedded
Flash movie is changed
by some other slide.
The reason for using this
trick is that embedded
Flash files can play
sounds by their own and
there is the only way to
prevent possible sound
issues.
Sometimes this feature
can be undesirable and
can be turned off by
setting the blinkSound
parameter to false

11.3.37 ActionScript 3 and Flex 2 support
ActionScript 3 and Flex support in iSpring
This article describes the way of the iSpring generated presentations communication with
Flash applications written in ActionScript 3 and Flex.
Table of contents:
• ActionScript 3.0 and ActionScript 2.0 communication
• ActionScript 3 bridge communication module API
• Integration with Flex applications

ActionScript 3.0 and ActionScript 2.0 communication

iSpring generated Flash presentations provide ActionScript 2.0 API. Being loaded by Flash
9 or Flex applications which use ActionScript 3, this API is not accessible anymore -
ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3 object model are not compatible; Flash movies version 8
or below work in isolated environment within Flash 9 (AS3) and Flex applications.
However, there is a way AS2 and AS3 Flash movies can communicate. It is a
LocalConnection class usage. One Flash movie creates a named LocalConnection object,
defines some functions in it and calls connect() method:
var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

lc.sayHello = function(name:String):Void
{
trace("Hello, " + name + "!");
}
Page 155
lc.connect("connectionName");
Another Flash movie calls these methods using send() method:

lc.send("connectionName", "sayHello", "John Smith");
The first Flash movie will receive and execute commands froth the second. When a two-way
interaction is needed, each Flash movie must create 2 LocalConnection objects: one
connection to send commands and another one to receive them.
There is one thing which must be taken into account. It is possible to create only 1
LocalConnection with a given name on the same PC. So it is recommended to generate
connection name based on some random information such as date. The sending Flash movie
needs a connection name of the receiving Flash movie. This connection name can be passed
as an URL parameter:
{
}
// generate connection name which is most likely unique
var connectionName:String = "conn" + (new Date().getTime());
lc.connect(connectionName);
var childMove:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
// load child movie and pass the connection name in URL parameter
childMovie.loadMovie("someMovie.swf?lcid=" + escape(connectionName));
A child Flash movie gets the connection name from URL variables:

lc.send(this.lcid, "sayHello", "John Smith");
The similar way of Flash movies interaction can be used to establish communication
between ActionScript 3 Flash movie and iSpring generated presentations.
iSpring Presenter and iSpring SDK products allow embedding a special ActionScript
communication module (AS3 Connector) into the generated flash presentation. This
communication module provides presentation playback control facilities via
LocalConnection protocol accessible from Flash applications written in ActionScript 3.
Page 156
iSpring SDK and iSpring Presenter products include a set of AS3 classes and interfaces
which simplify communication between AS3 applications and iSpring generated
presentations with embedded AS3 connector. These classes and interfaces provide facilities
for presentation loading and playback control. They can also broadcast notifications about
various events during presentation playback.
The communication between ActionScript 3 application and iSprign generated presentation is
illustrated in the following diagram.
ActionScript 3 <-> iSpring presentation communication
ActionScript3 Connector
ActionScript3 Connector (with source code) is included in iSpring Presenter and iSpring
SDK samples. There is also a set of ActionScript 3 classes providing ActionScript 3 API
simplifying communication with iSpring presentations.

ActionScript 3.0 and ActionScript 2.0 communication

iSpring generated Flash presentations provide ActionScript 2.0 API. Being loaded by Flash
Page 189
9 or Flex applications which use ActionScript 3, this API is not accessible anymore -
ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3 object model are not compatible; Flash movies version 8
or below work in isolated environment within Flash 9 (AS3) and Flex applications.
However, there is a way AS2 and AS3 Flash movies can communicate. It is a
LocalConnection class usage. One Flash movie creates a named LocalConnection object,
defines some functions in it and calls connect() method:

{
}
lc.connect("connectionName");
Another Flash movie calls these methods using send() method:

lc.send("connectionName", "sayHello", "John Smith");
The first Flash movie will receive and execute commands froth the second. When a two-way
interaction is needed, each Flash movie must create 2 LocalConnection objects: one
connection to send commands and another one to receive them.
There is one thing which must be taken into account. It is possible to create only 1
LocalConnection with a given name on the same PC. So it is recommended to generate
connection name based on some random information such as date. The sending Flash movie
needs a connection name of the receiving Flash movie. This connection name can be passed
as an URL parameter:
{
}
// generate connection name which is most likely unique
var connectionName:String = "conn" + (new Date().getTime());
lc.connect(connectionName);
var childMove:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
// load child movie and pass the connection name in URL parameter
childMovie.loadMovie("someMovie.swf?lcid=" + escape(connectionName));
A child Flash movie gets the connection name from URL variables:
Page 190

lc.send(this.lcid, "sayHello", "John Smith");
A similar way of Flash movies interaction can be used to establish communication between
ActionScript 3 Flash movie and iSpring generated presentations. Flash9 / Flex application
loads a special bridge SWF module written in ActionScript 2 which loads the presentation.
This bridge module communicates with the presentation using its ActionScript API; from
the other hand the bridge communicates with Flash 9 / Flex application using
LocalConnection. This process is illustrated in the following diagram.
ActionScript 3 <-> iSpring presentation communication
ActionScript 3 bridge communication module API

A bridge communication module (with source code) is included in iSpring Presenter and
iSpring SDK samples. There is also a set of ActionScript 3 classes providing ActionScript 3
API simplifying communication with iSpring presentations.

mx.core.UIComponent class.
Samples
The following example illustrates the usage of the AS3 bridge module in Adobe Flash CS3:
import ispring.as3bridge.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
var player:Player;
if (flash.system.Capabilities.playerType == "External")
{
writeLog("This example will work in browser plugin, ActiveX or
Standalone Flash player");
return;
}

// create target sprite

var target:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(target);
// load bridge
var loader:BridgeLoader = new BridgeLoader(target);
loader.addEventListener(BridgeEvent.PLAYER_INIT, onPlayerInit);
player = loader.loadPresentation("as3bridge.swf", "presentation.swf");
function onPlayClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
player.playbackController.play();
}
function onPauseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{

11.4 Skin Development Reference
11.4.1 Skin development

iSpring provides Flash developers with custom skin development facilities. Creation of a
custom skin is a quite easy task for developers familiar with Flash 7 or 8 and ActionScript
2.0.
Each skin is just an ordinary Flash file with the only feature - the first frame of its main (aka
_root) MovieClip contains the following function.
function createSkin(target:MovieClip):fsplayer.ui.skins.ISkin;
The target parameter is a MovieClip object where skin must create user interface objects.
The createSkin() function is called by the player core. It must return a newly created object
implementing fsplayer.ui.skins.ISkin Interface. Visibility of the passed target MovieClip can
be controlled by the Flash presentation preloader.
When the skin is created, the player is initialized. Player initialization scheme is illustrated in
the following diagram.
Page 218
iSpring Player initialization scheme
The following interfaces are used for the development of custom skins. They are located
within fsplayer.ui.skins package.
Name Description
ISkin Provided by all iSpring-compatible skin modules
ISkinListener Implemented by the player core and allows receiving

skin initialization event notifications
ISlideShowWindow Provides the player core with the target MovieClip

object where slides are loaded
Samples
Page 219
A typical implementation of the createSkin() function is as follows:

11.4.2 fsplayer.ui.skins.ISkin Interface

The ISkin interface is provided by all iSpring-compatible skin modules and used to connect
the player core with the User Interface. The ISkin interface exposes the following methods
called by the player core.
Methods
Method Description
initialize(player:IPlayer):Void This method is invoked by the player core to

initialize the skin. The information provided by the
passed player parameter can be used by the skin to
initialize its visual components.
Note: playback control methods of the
IPresentationPlaybackController interface are
inaccessible until the skin gets initialized.
Skins use ISkinListener interface to notify the core at
Page 220
the end of the skin initialization process. See

Remarks section for more details.
getSlideShowWindow():ISlideShowWindow Returns the ISlideShowWindow interface providing

the player core with the target MovieClip for
presentation slides loading.
setListener(listener:ISkinListener):Void The player core passes ISkinListener interface that

allows core to receive notifications about skin
initializaiton process.
Remarks
Skin initialization can take some time, especially when the skin loads some extra data from
the Internet. In order to get the initialization notification the player core implements the
ISkinListener Interface and passes it to the skin via the setListener() method.
Samples
The following example illustrates the minimal implementation of the ISkin,

ISlideShowWindow, an IPlaybackListener interfaces.
import fsplayer.ui.skins.*;

11.4.3 fsplayer.ui.skins.ISkinListener Interface

The ISkinListener interface is implemented by the player core and allows it to receive the
notification from the skin when the skin has been initialized.
Methods
Method Description
onSkinInit(skin:ISkin):Void This method is invoked by skins to notify the player

core that the skin has been initialized. The skin
parameter is an object which implements the ISkin
interface.
Remarks
Skin initialization can require some time especially if the skin needs to load some
information from the Internet in order to finish the initialization process. Skin notifies the
player core via onSkinInit() method call on the ISkinListener interface. The ISkinListener
Interface is passed to the skin via setListener() method of the ISkin Interface.
The player core will not start loading presentation slides until it gets onSkinInit notification.

11.5.4 slideplayer.api.IHyperlinksManager Interface
Page 230
The IHyperlinksManager Interface provides slides with an ability to switch to another

slides or open external web pages. A standalone slide does not switch to another slide when a
hyperlink is clicked. An external Flash application can use setHyperlinksManager() method
of the ISlideController interface to pass an object implementing the IHyperlinksManager
interface which receive notifications when user clicks a hyperlink or action button.
The following methods are exposed by the IHyperlinksManager interface.
Methods
Method Description
gotoSlide(slideIndex:Number):Void This method is invoked when user clicks a hyperlink

to another slide
An implementation can hide the current slide and
load and show the new one
openURL(url:String, target:String):Void This method is invoked when user clicks a hyperlink

to an external web page or other resource
Note: the simplest way to implement this method is
to call following ActionScript function:
getURL(url, target)
gotoLastViewedSlide():Void This method is invoked when user clicks a hyperlink

to the last viewed slide.
An implementation must hide the current slide and
show the slide that was shown before
endShow():Void This method is invoked when user clicks a hyperlink

that finishes slide show
Typically, an implementation unloads all slides of the
current presentation
