I'd like to create a button in FlashMX which, when pressed will open a PowerPoint file. I came across a tutorial on how to use the FSCOMMAND "exec" to trigger a batch file which then triggers the PowerPoint file. This however did not work... If I double click on the batch file, the PP file will open as required so it seems to be the command in Flash that's causing a problem.

Say for example the flash swf is on slide 30. When you get to that slide the flash plays and when it's done. Within the flash there is a button to advance to the next slide.Is this possible?
View 1 RepliesI've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.

View 3 RepliesI'm using flash instead of powerpoint for a presentation. I want to use a remote clicker (like people use in pp presentations).I have one that works, but only when the cursor in on top of one of the buttons in the actual presentation. Icanmake the buttons in flash to travel backward and forward along the timeline, or to move to different movies etc. But I would like to use a clicker that will allow the presenter to just click a button to go back, and click the other button to go forward, without having to reposition the cursor on the laptop over the button he wants to interact with. Doesthis make sense? I have an invisible button in the lower left and right hand corners ofthe presentation. the remote clicker works, but only when it is over one of thsoe buttons. But the remote clicker is set up for powerpoint with a next slide and previous slide button that would be much more handy to use.

View 2 RepliesWhen I wanted to insert a SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, I would use the More Controls dialog in PowerPoint's Developer tab to insert a Shockwave/Flash object. But in PowerPoint 2010, that control is missing from the dialog. Where did it go? When I click the Register Custom DLL, there's no obvious file to choose, either.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm not looking for a way to convert a SWF into a video that can be embedded or using a 3rd-party plug-in or anything like that. I know how to do those things. I'm specifically looking to insert a SWF using only what's built into PowerPoint and Flash
I've been running into issues with the compression of my flash animations when imbedding them into powerpoint. The .mov files provide sharp playback, but after they are converted to mp4, the resolution drops. I need mp4 files so that the movies are compatible with both Mac and PC versions of powerpoint. I have changed the settings to increase the frames per second, and have the highest qualities selected when converting from .mov to .mp4 without luck.
Is there a better way to convert .fla to .mp4 for PC Powerpoint compatibility?
Placing swf file into powerpoint as per the correct procedure,1) developer tab, hammer/spanner icon, hit s and scroll to shockwave flash object, clear slide and draw out a shockwave flash object box, r/c properties, put path of swf into movie part of shockwave Flash object properties box. run movie.Movie runs fine, then when returning to that slide, or the powerpoint presentation is re-run, (there is a need in the safety lecture to rerun the presentation again and again) the movie is still stuck on the last frame.There is a supposed fix atSurely with big players on the field like Adobe and Microsoft there has to be a solution to this. This should have been resolved long ago. We forever see that flash plays in powerpoint mentuioned on the net, NO IT DOESNT ! apparently
View 4 RepliesI use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. How do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:UseProfileDesktopFlash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
1. Click Office Button.
2. Click "Powerpoint Options"
3. Under the "Popular" tab check "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon". Click OK
4. Click the "Developer" tab.
5. Click the "More Controls" button (wrench/hammer icon)
6. Choose "Shockwave Flash Object". Click OK.
7. Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
8. In the "Properties" pop-up, find "Movie".
9. Under "Movie". Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:UsersProfileDesktopflashAnimation.swf a. Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.
How to insert a flash animation into Powerpoint?
View 1 RepliesHow hard is it to import a powerpoint presentation into flash. It would be perfect for me if the output would look like this: every powerpoint slide becomes a movieclip or a .swf file. I don't have any animations and sounds, its just text and images. I know i could save the slides to png but its very bad idea using bitmaps for text in flash. I also cant use programs like slideshare, because they add their own navigation bars and i cant use them offline.
View 5 RepliesI was wondering if there is someway to embed a Flash Shockwave Object or .SWF file in PowerPoint (Presentation) 2007 and higher version, i.e. inside the ".pptx" format. By embed I mean when I save the presentation,close it . i wont be needing the the .swf file again. That way I can share the presentations with others.
If I use this link Insert-Flash-Into-PowerPoint-2007,it works but when I save and
close the presentation, the swf file doesn;t get embeded. (Note: If i do the same with a .ppt file, it works correctly)
I know we can embed the swf inside PowerPoint presentation version 2003, i.e. the ".ppt" format. but couldn't do the same in .pptx format.
Also is it possible to embed .swf file in .pptx using Open XML format? I tried to rename the ".pptx" file to ".zip" and added the ".swf" in media folder and then renamed it back to ".pptx", but when opened in PowerPoint, it gave an error about unreadable content or corruption.
I had read somewhere that its kind of strategy from MS not to provide this kind of support for Adobe SWF file / ActiveX object and as of now the feature is not supported. Flashppt PPTX Embed not supported
I tried the same with Office 2010 and still the same result. It doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesHow do I go about automating conversions from powerpoint to flash?I want a user to be able to upload a powerpoint file into my web page and on the server I want to convert the powerpoint to a flash movie. Is there any preferred method for doing this?
View 3 RepliesSometime you may need to insert an existing Flash movie to your PowerPoint presentation to enhance your slideshow. In general, there are 2 ways to do this.
1. Insert Flash movie into PowerPoint from PowerPoint control toolbox.
1) Copy your SWF file to the same folder where the blank or existing presentation was saved.
2) Open the existing PowerPoint presentation and go to the slide where you would like to insert a Flash.
3) Right click Tools from PowerPoint menu and enable Control Toolbox.
4) Click More Controls (bottom right icon) on Control Toolbox. Choose Shockwave Flash Object from the dropdown list.
5) Your cursor will change into a cross, hold mouse left button and drag to draw a rectangle. The rectangle is where the Flash will be located, you can adjust its size and location later.
6) Right-click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click Properties from the pop-up menu.
7) Within the movie option, type the name of the movie without any path (since it is saved within the same folder as the presentation). Make sure that the Playing property is set to True.
2. Insert Flash movie into PowerPoint from FlashPoint.
1) Download and install FlashPoint,[URL]
2) Open an existing PowerPoint presentation, you will find FlashPoint button on PowerPoint menu (usually next to the Help option on PowerPoint menu)
3) Click FlashPoint button and select Insert Flash movie from the flyout menu.
4) Browse and specify where the target flash movie was located. Click Open to import it to the slide.
3. Can the inserted Flash movie also be captured when turn the whole PowerPoint to a single Flash movie for web distribution?
Yes, FlashPoint is a powerful PowerPoint to Flash converter, the flash inserted in original PowerPoint will be extracted and re-created into the final Flash movie accordingly.

I have a group of buttons that open a MC similar to opening a new window. Each "new window" has a close button that closes that window and goes back to the main window (the main timeline). The trouble is, the buttons to open the new window only work once. For example, if you click on "The Founders" the window opens then you click "close window" and "The Founders" button no longer works unless you refresh the page. I think it has something to do with the way I've coded the close button, but I'm not sure what exactly.[code]
