How to view presentation dialect without Rebol
[1/6] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 24-Apr-2002 19:49
Hi, I have made a presentation about IOS with the presentation dialect. Now I
want to provide this presentation to others that don't have Rebol in use and I
would like to include it on our Web-Page and promotion CD-Roms. Any idea how I
can do this? Would it be possible to write a PDF with pdf-maker? Robert

I haven't played with the presentation dialect, but it should certainly be
possible. Gabriele?

How about using XML and SVG to make .svg files from the presentation
dialect? Of course, one needs a XML dialect for Rebol, which I've just
written. Have a look at the XML dialect thread.

Hi, all nice ideas but I just need a file for dumb users: PDF or PowerPoint. No
fancy stuff yet as no one is used to these new things yet. Robert

Hmm. How about SWF [FLASH] ??
Flash has built-in in timeline [great for sequencing presentations], text,
vector + bitmap graphics, hyperlinks, buttons, action/events and much much more.
Oldes make-swf.r and examples are 100% REBOL and nicely presented.
The Flash Player is free and widely distributed and much smaller than PDF or
SVG. It can be included on CDROMS. Also a stand-alone .exe can be made for
Win32+Mac [but you need access to the authoring tool for that I believe, or one
of the 3rd party tools like FlashJester].
The fscommand() lets one call other local executables.
You can launch a stub player in Flash which starts rebol which in turn can
'browse' an HTML with FLASH. I just read that FlashMX allows communication
between desktop Flash movie and an SWF running in the web browser [I've not
tested yet].
For basic presentations it's a great. Plus there is much more now that FlashMX
is out for powerful REBOL/Flash interactions. Greatly improved object/event
structure lets one assign behaviors dynamically and remotely to buttons and
movies. Everything is an object. Shared libraries. Dynamic loading at runtime or
sounds and graphic. JPEGS can be loaded across the Internet into SWF. Thus
REBOL can generate VID graphics of itself and FlashMX can use and present these
from a generic REBOL-presenter movie.
Have to check with Oldes where is codes needs upgrade to support the special new
FlashMX features.

Hello Jason,

I don't know what's FlashJester but to make *.exe file from the *.swf
is not difficult. I don't like the *.exe files but although I don't
know if it's legal I've made this simple script for making FlashProjectors
for Windows (I don't understand the *.hqx files for Mac - they look as
compressed but are 2 times bigger then the WIN's *.exe )
check it out as usually from http://oldes.multimedia.cz/swf/
it's the make-swfprojector.zip with binaries for making Flash4, Flash5
and FlashMX *.exe files and one really small Rebol script:-))
Cheers Oldes
BTW: I was suprised how bigger is the FlashMX player in comparison
with the Flash5 player
