To get the movie to resize with the browser, set the width and height parameters of the Flash object (in the HTML) to 100%. This will cause it to resize with the browser, regardless of screen...

Howdy,

It's entirely possible. Using fscommand and the VBA behind the slide, Flash can force Powerpoint to jump to certain slides, advance the slide show, rewind the Flash movie, close the slide...

Howdy,

A number of tools have been released, as of late, to help manage this conversion more effectively. I've not had the opportunity to try any of them, so I'll just provide the list:

egriss,

It's possible to insert the movie into Powerpoint. However, Powerpoint does not support the transparent feature of the Active X control.

Hope that helps,
Rick

Shefak,

onClipEvent(keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == 32) {
}
}

Hope that helps,
Rick

Howdy,

It's also important to note that you can control Powerpoint from Flash and vice versa, using fscommand.

Hope that helps,
Rick

msmithdelcacho,

It's entirely doable. Powerpoint will take the swf format as an embedded object through the Flash ActiveX control.

Try heading over to http://www.flashgeek.com/ and see if that...

Actually, you can embed swf files directly into Powerpoint, if you're on the PC platform. This uses the Flash ActiveX control to paly your movies.

While there are some drawbacks to this technique...

While it is fairly easy to get the movie into Powerpoint, it's sure to misbehave once you have it in there.

1) Make sure to hard code the entire directory structure of the movie into the URL.

I'm hoping to not make this sound incredibly enigmatic about the whole thing...

One way would be using FSCommand to pass the captured variables to an asp page and then into Access. If you're...

There are instructions on .flashgeek. including common pitfalls and workarounds for rewinding.

There are also some tutorials here on Flash Kit.

Hope that helps,
Rick

Howdy,

You could also try using a helper application of some sort, like Jugglor. I know folks have posted some of those here, and there's a free helper application on the .flashgeek. site if...

Howdy,

I don't know how many folks are still having difficulties with embedding Flash in Powerpoint (I know the majority of people have been building their entire presentation in Flash), but I've...

Just to provide a couple of alternatives on that theme:

1) You can embed the swf directly into Powerpoint if you're sure this client has the ActiveX control on his/her presentation machine.
...

It's really just the functionality of the "exec" FS Command that's causing the problem. Not to be overly obvious, but exec is designed to execute, not open. So, exec will only launch executables from...

You can embed an swf in Powerpoint using the ActiveX control. There are tutorials here on how to do so. There are also some on the .flashgeek. site, if that helps. ;)

Hope that helps,
Rick

The problem with using Flash inside of Powerpoint is that it gets tricky once you start passing it around. I started using Flash in my personal presentations because I knew I controlled the...

As I always like to chime in on these issues... the tutorials above are great. They explain the concept very quickly and concisely.

If you need a little more depth, or run into problems, please...

I'd be interested in seeing a converter (simply because I find the idea interesting), and since it seems to be one of those requests that comes up rather often. But I think Jelve's point is probably...

Howdy,

I just wanted to confirm that the embedding techniques for getting Flash into Powerpoint ARE ActiveX dependent, so there's no way that they'll work on a MacOS.

That said, there are a...

Unfortunately, there are a number of reasons folks are still forced to use Powerpoint (corporate requirements, user comfort, on the fly changes), so embedding Flash can be helpful from time to time. ...

There are a couple of ways to keep your images clean:

1) Control the export settings on an image by image basis. You can do this by getting properties on the image in the library and then choosing...

Might be a versioning issue with the ActiveX control. Dunno. Have you got a URL we at which we can gander?

Let us know,

As I've said before, I may be completely mistaken, but I don't think the projector environment supports the GetURL command. You'll have to use a helper application as FSCommand Exec to launch the...
