To start using your Macromedia Breeze account, use the following link:
http:// ADMIN_HOST /common/help/en/support/startmain.htm
Here, ADMIN_HOST is the value you set for the ADMIN_HOST variable in the Application
Management Console.
The URL takes you to the Breeze Getting Started page, from which you can download Breeze
Presenter, which is required in the next section.
Verifying that you can use Breeze Server
To verify that you can use Breeze Server, send a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to the Breeze
server for compilation into a Macromedia Flash presentation and then view it.
Before you can send a PowerPoint presentation to the Breeze server, you must install Breeze
Presenter on a computer on which PowerPoint is already installed.
To create a Breeze Presentation and view it:
1.
.Go to the URL that you received in the new-user notification (http:// ADMIN_HOST /
common/help/en/support/startmain.htm). For more information, see “Verifying that you can
use Breeze Manager and send e-mail notifications” on page 92.
A Getting Started page appears, with a link for downloading Breeze Presenter.
2.
Click the download link and follow the instructions to install Breeze Presenter.
3.
If you do not have a PowerPoint presentation that you can send to the Breeze server for
compilation into a Flash presentation, create a presentation of one or two slides and save the
presentation.
4.
Open the Breeze Publish wizard by selecting Publish from the Breeze menu in PowerPoint.
The Publish window appears.
5.
Select Breeze Server and enter the information for your server.
6.
Log in with your e-mail address and password and follow the steps in the Publish wizard. Make
sure that you are enrolled in the Authors group.
When you complete the steps in the Publish wizard, your PowerPoint presentation is uploaded
to the Breeze server and compiled into a Flash presentation.
