To Add a Plugin to a Presentation

4. Enter the name of the script in the Script Plugin Name or Parser Plugin Name fields. To locate the object name that will be returned by a script plugin (for script plugins only):

   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.

   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. See the example image below.

5. Add the plugin:

   1. If you uploaded the plugin through the Content Cloud, add it to a presentation by going to Script Plugin Source > BSN Scripts (for Script Plugin) or Parser Plugin Source > BSN Parsers (for Parser Plugin).

   2. If you don't have access to 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 BrightAuthor:connected Content Library under Components > Scripts.
