I want to display a promotional slideshow that loops forever with nothing to see but the slide content. No buttons, no frames no borders. I cannot find a way to
gets all the slide content included (i.e. nothing chopped off at the edges), and
removes every trace of player and frame
Is it possible please?
This shows the best I have been able to achieve : it still has a grey border which means when I display it on a web page it looks like it has a mistake in it.
As Sasha mentioned, a custom player is really the only way to remove all signs of the usual player. Here's one that was created by a member of the Articulate community (Tony Lowe) - you could experiment with that and see if it gives you the results you're looking for: http://community.articulate.com/downloads/p/834.aspx
Now that I have seen I can have great presentation without anything other than content on it, what if I wanted something with only the controls for volume, seek, forward and back? Is there a skin somewhere that allows that? When it comes to embedding articulate in a web page sometimes I want just the content,a nd sometimes the content plus navigation, but nothing else - no borders. Can that be done?
Hello Liz, you might try browsing the other free custom skins in the Downloads area to see if any of those would meet your needs. If you don't really see anything there that fits, you'd need to have the Presenter Player SDK (software developers kit) and some programming skills in order to create something more customized. The SDK is one of the benefits of the Platinum Membership Plan. Here's some more info about custom skins that you might find helpful.
Hey thanks a lot Jeanette. I did find something there that will probably do the trick. There is one that allows you specify a background image that occupies the whole slide, hopefully including those 'pesky' (thanks Sasha), drop shadows. I can therefore specify a white image to be the background. Anyway - that is what I am going to try now.

By the way, I have tried putting it in a player that has everything defined as white. Still got the lines though.
Using the slide only view, the only sure way I have found to do that is to make everything black.
Otherwise you are getting into using a custom skin (a SWF movie imported) to block off those pesky drop shadows...

Oh! Thank you for that (and for stopping me from spending any more time trying to work it out).
And thanks @Jeanette. I wish I had asked here earlier. That worked and now I get my presentation finished.
Oh cool! Glad to hear you're all set now.

Did that work, Liz?
