Using Flash movies in PowerPoint 2000

Using Flash in PowerPoint
Integrating a Flash movie inside PowerPoint allows vector animation
and interactivity to be added to a PowerPoint presentation. This
strategy can be used to increase the performance and impact of the
piece. The information provided in this TechNote was tested with the
Office 2000 version of Microsoft PowerPoint. Earlier versions may vary
from the steps shown here. Please note that Macromedia Technical Support
cannot answer questions pertaining to Flash playing inside external
applications such as PowerPoint.

Can it be done?
When viewing Flash content in Windows using Internet Explorer, Flash
Player content is played using an ActiveX control. ActiveX is a
Microsoft technology consisting of 'controls' that sit on top of a
Windows subsystem called COM (Component Object Model). For detailed
information on ActiveX controls see Microsoft's ActiveX pages.

ActiveX controls are used to extend the abilities of Windows and
Internet Explorer, adding features such as video playback, audio and
Flash playback. Each control handles a specific type of functionality.
When a control is needed for a certain type of playback, it is
automatically downloaded from a secure location, the control installs
itself, and then becomes available to Windows. This allows Windows to
acquire new functionality by adding a small binary file, without
reinstalling or restarting the operating system.

The advantage of ActiveX controls is that although they are generally
downloaded and used in Internet Explorer, once they exist on your system
any Windows application that understands COM can use the controls to
extend their applications.

One of the popular uses for this technology is embedding a functional
ActiveX controlled Flash movie inside a PowerPoint presentation.

Why Flash in PowerPoint?
PowerPoint 2000 supports numerous import types including AVI movies
and animated GIFs. However, these imports are fairly static, and can
have large file sizes. Using a Flash movie inside PowerPoint adds
interactivity and vector animation to the PowerPoint presentation,
with little increase in file size. Embedding a Flash movie allows all
the functionality of Flash: buttons will function, Get URL actions
will open the default browser, and animations will tween. If the Flash
ActiveX control r25 (or higher) is installed, the Flash movie can even
be printed.

Requiring the ActiveX control
Note: Using Flash in PowerPoint requires the Flash ActiveX control to be
installed on the machine which will be viewing the PowerPoint content.
If that machine is using Internet Explorer 4 or higher and can view
Flash then the ActiveX control is automatically installed.

If you have direct access to the playback machine you can check for
the control's parent file by searching the system drive for 'swflash.
ocx'. If you do not have access to the machine the presentation will
be playing on, it is highly recommended to license and distribute the
Flash ActiveX control alongside your presentation. The control must be
installed on the playback machine before your presentation can run.
The Flash ActiveX control can be licensed at no charge for
distribution on secure intranets or CD-ROM's. See Macromedia's Flash
Player Licensing Overview for detailed information.

If there is any doubt if the Flash control is present it's best to
uninstall existing controls and reinstall. See How to remove the Flash
Player ActiveX Control (TechNote 12727) for more information. After
uninstalling the control, use Internet Explorer to go to http://www.
macromedia.com/ and autoinstall the most recent version of the control.

Embedding the Flash content in PowerPoint
Once you've considered the handling of the ActiveX control you can
proceed to add the Flash content to PowerPoint. 1  Open PowerPoint 2000.

2  Choose View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox. This will open the
ActiveX Control toolbar.
3 At the bottom of the Control Toolbox there is an "other controls"
icon.

Select this icon to open the list of ActiveX controls installed on
your machine.

4 Choose "Shockwave Flash Object" from the list of controls:

5 Choosing Shockwave Flash Object from the list of controls will
change the cursor to a crosshair. Move the cursor over the slide.
Click and drag to define the area the Flash movie will play in. The
Flash movie can take up as much of the screen as you wish.
6 After creating the Flash "window", right-click on the window. Choose
"Properties" from the pop-up to open the Flash object control
properties.

7 Choose "..." to the right of 'Custom' . This opens the Page Properties
dialog for the Flash control.
8 In the Page Properties dialog enter the path or URL to the SWF you
wish to use. If the SWF is in the same directory as the PowerPoint
file just enter the SWF name. The SWF can also be at any valid URL
network address.

The remainder of the items in the dialog are described in Chapter 13
of 'Using Flash' under Publishing & Exporting.

9  Click OK in the Property Pages. Now view the slideshow. The Flash
content will play just as it does in the Flash player.

Additional information
Again, Macromedia Technical Support cannot advise on this procedure.
If you have problems with using Flash in PowerPoint, we recommend
posting questions to the Flash Discussion Group or using the Flashgeek.
com website, which specializes in Flash/Powerpoint discussion.
