hi all,

so i am inserting a shockwave file into powerpoint. No major dramas there. But the size of the swf is full screen and I am unable to insert any type of navigation over the file.

When I view the slideshow, the navigation disappears and I can not get to the next slide. I have tried placing an action button… drawing a button and inserting a link…

I dont want to reduce the size of the swf to enable an action button to be placed on the side. I just want the user to be able to either click on screen, or a specified button and proceed to the next slide.

I can however place a command button over the swf and it is viewable in the slide show but am not sure on the script to get it to go to the next slide.

am i asking too much!:h:

thank u :thumb:
