Running at an exhibition

Hi

I want to use a quiz on a standalone computer at an exhibition. Is it possible to embed it in a pps Powepoint Presentation?

Hi Phil,

I believe it is possible to embed Flash within Powerpoint and even PDF presentations. Try publishing the quiz for HTML and then embedding the Flash file (the .swf) in the Powerpoint.

Hi Alexander

Thanks for a swift and helpfull response.

I have the quizz playing in Firefox with the Adobe Flash extension. At the end of the quiz, do you know of anyway to get the programme to close. At the moment I have put an instruction to the user to close the browser, but it would be nice to automate it.

A technique we use is to use the Forward URL to move the user to a page which attempts to close the browser window with the javascript

window.close();

You can see the page here -

One thing to bear in mind - the browser can only close the window automatically if the browser opened the window as a pop-up . . otherwise it will ask for confirmation that the user really wants to shut the window.
