  1. Open a new or existing presentation.

  2. Go to Presentation Settings > Support Content.

  3. Click the + beside Script Plugin or Parser Plugin, depending on which type of script you want to upload. 

  4. Enter the script name in the Script Plugin Name or Parser Plugin Name fields. To find the object name of a script plugin:

    1. Open the plugin with a text editor and find the initialization function at the beginning of the script. It will begin with the line Function [plugin]_Initialize(...) As Object. See the highlighted text in the example image below.

    2. Find the "return" call at the end of this function. The returned object name must match the text in the Script Plugin Name field. Again, see the highlighted text in the image below.

  5. Add the plugin:

    1. If you are a bsn.Content (Content Cloud) subscriber, upload the plugin under Content > New Component Upload Script and add it to your Content Library. Then go to Script Plugin Source > BSN Scripts (for Script Plugin) or Parser Plugin Source > BSN Parsers (for Parser Plugin) to add it to the presentation.

    2. If you don't have access to bsn.Content Cloud, go to Script Plugin Source > Local Script Plugin (for Script Plugin) or Parser Plugin Source > Local Parser Plugin (for Parser plugin) to add a plugin locally. If the plugin source isn't available, confirm that the BrightScript site is uploaded to the Content Library under Components > Scripts
