is there a way to not have the drop down menu but have slides to appear along the left hand side of the screen.

I want a tree structure to be on show all the time without the ability to have the drown down button.

Making a scrolling list of slides or thumbnails of slides isn't going to be too difficult.
All you'd need would be a tall thin text box and add images to it. These would be your thumbnails, to create these you might have to grab the screen and cut them out. If you define this in the master page then it's available to all pages.
Scrolling a text box is covered in another strand.
You then would want to set an event for each thumbnail, on click nav to page xxx.
This would need to be the last module component after production so you aren't chopping and changing the code all the time as you add or delete a page.
Could look quite nice but a pain to set up.

I've just tried this on a small LOL 100+ page introduction to CAT scans of the head. There are two main series, one shows the images bone detail the other soft tissues each series has a minimum of 30 images. The conventional linear page navigation was a little lacking. A side scrolling 'menu' was a great idea for this JJ. It was a PIA and deeply boring to set up but it does work and adds an easy navigation to a sub series of pages.

Has anyone got an example of this working?


thnx[:D]

I'm kinda in the middle of learning the basics realy so this might be a quick answer for many of you and maybe ill find it myself in a few min, who knows :)

Basicaly im doing a "web page like" presentation and i have flash movies running in it, the problem i have is when i put a flash movie into a slide that is after "the sellection" slide, that is not running one, i get flash movie to load twice, i know this couse i can hear the echo...

Im using "goto" to navigate through the slides, and i cant realy find a quick answer to this one.

nvm works fine when i publish so just a little bug i guess

Yes, it seems to be the only workaround at this time. Current objects tries to hide anyway... But it's a good idea - to have the Contents object that is always visible. I think we will implement that in future versions.

Just want to put more vote for this feature in future versions. Our company has a standard layout that states a TOC should be visible at all times. Thanks!

I would like to see the 'always on' menus too. slide titles would be sufficient. The ability to style the list - say backgorund colour blocks, and width of the object, would be good. It almost looks like this can be done - by setting the contents object to visible on slide loading, but I tried this before and it didn't work.
