My boss wants me to add some of my flash animations into one of his powerpoint presentations. I have no idea how to do this. I tried a few simple things but no luck. I’m sure it’s easy but can’t figure it out. Don’t work in powerpoint often.
Anyone?=)
There is a way to do it using the active x commands in PPT2k
But if you have office 2000 or greater thiere is this smooth application you can install that makes it wicked easy

Where I work, we make the entire presentations in Flash - powerpoint just looked too… well too much like powerpoint 
I can totally see why you boss would want to use flash. It looks a lot better and you can do so much more with it.
No you’re wrong Sureshot. I wish. My boss likes powerpoint (he’s old fashioned) I want to do it in Flash and know that I could do so much more but he insists that we keep it in powerpoint and said I should just add some flash animations to it.
I hate trying to convert the old!!

And thanks Fester. I’ll download the program!
Hey Sure,
PowerPoint certainly has its advantages. First off evey coproration uses MS Office. PowerPoint presentations are only as good as the person who makes them. If you can design a killer background image and use good fonts your can make a killer powerpoint presentation.
Coy…anytime…
Well the prestentaions I make are for a Profesional speaker so he really doesnt have to wory about anyone having flash installed as we use our companies machines as part of the set up.
I do agree that you can do some nice things with PP but flash is just so much nicer and you can make things more interactive and “flashy” for the audience viewing them. We get a ton of feed back that our presentations are the best they have ever seen. I am not bragging about my flash work as there are 3 of us who work on them, just that they are much different from what’s out there with the regular pp presentations.
heres how to add flash to powerpoint:

I went and downloaded the swiff point player. It so far has been a piece of cake but thanks for the help everyone.

Cheerios…

Ok here’s my problem now. Putting the flash animations into the powerpoint worked great except for one thing. When you view the powerpoint in slide show clicking on the page would normally advance to the next slide but if you have a flash animation there it doesn’t work anymore.
Due to the nature of powerpoint, it is always best to use the space bar for advancing slides. Any items that powerpoint deem “interactive” will disable the mouse clicks for advancing slides.
This incules action enabled buttons and animated graphs. The only exception to this is if you are using a wireless remote mouse.
One other thing about the swiff point…
If you insert a .swf into a slide and save the file, it will embed the flash file into the powerpoint. So you dont need to keep the source flash file local to the presentation. Its a pretty cool feature, but the only drawback is that for it to work properly on another machine, the swifpoint application has to be installed.
ahh sweet i could use this too! thanks!
