if it is possible to have an exit button in an embedded flash SWF in powerpoint that will exit out of the flash presentation and advance to the next slide in the Powerpoint? 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?

I am developing a product for schools including flash animations - swf files written in AS3 - for insert/embed into PowerPoint slideshows. Hundreds of customers are waiting. It is all working apart from one problem: when inserted/embedded in PowerPoint 2007 slideshows my animations freeze (sometimes) when you leave and return to a PowerPoint slide containing them.
I have found that when you show a PP2007 slide containing a flash movie, move on to the next slide and then return, (sometimes) the time-related Events (ENTER_FRAME, TIMER etc) have stopped being dispatched to AS3 code by Flash Player, freezing animations. Other Events such as MOUSE_MOVE, KEY_DOWN etc are dispatched to AS3 in random bursts. I have created a small flash program and PowerPoint slideshow to demonstrate the problem and put them on the web at: [URL].
i already embedded my .swf file in my ppt but my problem is when the button clicked, how to go to other slide. what the script inside the button in flash??

i have dragged a video player from another swf, when i goto the next page the video keeps playing, unless i press the pause button,
i want it to stop if i exit the current frame.
I'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.
We are creating custom flash animation and import it into powerpoint using articulate, I want to move to next ppt slide if I click a button in flash
View 2 RepliesI have a borderless video that is going to be on a website I'm designing. I can add the play, pause, stop buttons but I need to add an exit video button. The video is going to auto play when a user goes to the website. The video is placed directly over a form, so I need the user to be able to click the exit video and have the video disappear allowing users to use the text fields in the form. I have tried many methods, but to no avail.

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a Flash Application that will be exported in exe format and it's not going to run in browser. I want to add an exit button inside stage but I don't know how to do that with ActionScript 3.
I remember that it was possible with fscommand in ActionScript 2 but it's not working in AS3.
I've searched everywhere but everyone is trying to close a popup or tab or window all in browser environment not a Flash app.
How to create a button that will exit out of flashplayer?
View 1 RepliesI'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.

View 7 RepliesI need to know the actionscript for my exit button...
i've tried some actionscript that i found from forum,but it doesnt works...
im using movie clips as buttons, with the following code on them:
Code: Select allon(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 3",1);
}[code].....
Im trying to move from scene2 to scene3 when this "button" or movie-clip is clicked.I know that they are not entirely broken as they work when used to link to web-pages.I have also tried using frame labels and this variation on my attempt above:
Code: Select allon (press) { // here starts normal movie clip event handlers
nextScene;
}
Lastly, my exit button is not working either, here is what I have tried:
Code: Select allon (press) { // here starts normal movie clip event handlers [code]......
The type of buttons I am trying to use I made using this tutorial (so you have some idea of why I'm not using an ordinary button):

View 3 RepliesHow to control button in movie clip in order to exit back to the main stage.
I used this code:
on(release){
_parent.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
The thing is: In the main page I have a manu you can choose to which movie clip to go. (The first frame on the main stage has a stop(); action in order to be able to choose). And the code bring me back to the main page but start the specific movie clip I exit from all over again. How can I stop this loop?
this is EXACTLY what i want... but in AS2 [URL]..a very simple click on a button, popup appears of image, and then an exit button on the image.
View 6 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 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 flash menu with buttons which need to open Powerpoint presentations. At the moment, getURL does not work. Would fscommand work? how to use this? I am using CS5 and PPT 2007.
