Hello Again,
Lately I have been playing a lot with the Articulate Presenter SDK in an effort to help customers with various issues related to customizing the Articulate Presenter player. Part of the reason I think it is soo cool is that out of all the Articulate Presenter knock offs out there none of them have a Player SDK like Articulate Presenter does (they also lack many other features as well). With the use of Flash the Articulate Presenter SDK allows me to do the following:

So, if you are interested you should certainly at least check it out. For more information visit http://blog.articulate.com/wom/2005/07/18/articulate_sdk/
The Articulate Presenter SDK comes with the Articulate Platinum Membership plan.

Part of the reason I think it is soo cool is that out of all the Articulate Presenter knock offs out there none of them have a Player SDK like Articulate Presenter does (they also lack many other features as well). With the use of Flash the Articulate Presenter SDK allows me to do the following:
- Add functionality by developing custom player tabs.
- Add player features by creating custom player toolbar items.
- Customize certain player assets.
- Communicate with the player via runtime API methods.
The reason that this is a must have for users trying to extend the customization of Articulate Presenter is that the SDK is very powerful, and allows you to do things that the standalone player will not do.
For example, I can create a custom SWF that I insert in each slide that will allow me to control the volume on a slide-by-slide basis.
I can also create a custom SWF that dynamically changes colors based on the colors of the player, which is cool if I am reusing a SWF in various different projects.
In an example that I created today I created a SWF that loaded in a FLV into a slide, then used the Player SDK to automatically advance to the next slide when the FLV video finished playing. Which is impossible to do in programs such as Breeze (or if it is possible in Breeze, it is very difficult to figure out how to do).Articulate Presenter SDK (2:03 minutes)So, if you are interested you should certainly at least check it out.

Dave-
just checked out your demo. as we discussed I ended up doing the same-using actionscript in the swf in the presenter panel to move to next when the stream was complete. One thing I ran into was the duration display on the video (I included a controller) didn't match the duration in the slide. My workaround was to insert silence of the appropriate duration into the slide so visually there wasn't the distraction of the timings being mismatched.
Yeah, that is a great workaround, I have done the same thing with other presentations.
