Placing A Flash File In Powerpoint



HI,

So I can do this with version Powerpoint 2000, but versions after that it gets complicated?

Is there any way of placing an .swf flash file into a powerpoint presentation that doesnt get too technical?

If then my sales guys need to send the Powerpoint to clients do they have to send the .swf file also?

Im sure there has to be asimple way of doing this... is there??

Thanks
Bruce.

Open Powerpoint File From A Flash Movie Embedded In A Powerpoint File
hello everybody,

I need to open powerpoint files from a flash movie that will run within a powerpoint presentation.
So far I have understood the concept of fscommand and have been able to open powerpoint files from a flash projector. I have not been able to import the flash projector within powerpoint (I do not think it is possible anyway).

Note: I use flash mx 2004

Any help very much appreciated.

Placing A Html Flash File
Hi,

What is the difference between placing a HTML generated flash file rather than embedding an swf file.


http://www4.ncsu.edu/~bjagann/penguin/test_html.htm has an swf file on the top and the HTML generated code from the fla at the bottom. I want the scrolling to be continious when the mouse is moved over it or not.

I assume that when the mouse is moved over the swf file, untill it is taken out in a certain way(moving the mouse away from the top of the banner), the scrollling doesn't start - it stops.

Should I change the code for this random movement or is it because of the way I embed.

Please help!!

Advanced thnx!!

Extract Flash From PowerPoint File
Hi, I saw an artical about how to extract .swf from PPT files and think it's quite useful, hope it helps.
---------------------------------------------
We had a Power Point Presentation file given us a few days ago with an
embedded flash file which we needed to extract to use on the website.


We couldn't find any way to do this. We could drag and drop the swf
onto another presentation, we could even drag the object onto the
desktop. This created a scrap file which was rather annoying.


However, this led me to the discovery of the NeverShowExt registry key.
I managed to rename the scrap to a have a .swf extension, but still no
cookie.


So I started digging around the scrap to see if I could find the swf
object inside and after reading an introduction to SWF I found what I
was looking for.


Now I just wanted to extract this binary data from the scrap file, and
I wanted to do it the hard way!


So I wrote a small amount of code to look through a file and extract
the goodies. The main part of the code was to take a byte array and
copy that into my SWF struct - using the
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal class.


After a bit of messing around the code runs like a dream. The final
executable takes 2 parameters the first is the file containing the SWF
and the second is the file to write the SWF.


using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace FlashExtractor
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//assume param 1 is the location of the shockwave file
byte[] file = new byte[Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(swf))];


FileStream fs = File.Open(args[0], FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read,FileShare.Read);
int i=0;
//go through the file byte by byte
//could I have seeked this?
while (i<fs.Length-8)
{
//set the position in the file
fs.Position = i;
//read off 8 bytes worth of data to put into the swf struct
fs.Read(file,0, 8);
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(file.Length);
Marshal.Copy(file, 0x0, ptr, file.Length);
swf s = (swf) Marshal.PtrToStructure(ptr, typeof(swf));


// if the struct header is FWS then we may have a flash file
if (s.header1==0x46 && s.header2==0x57 && s.header3==0x53)
{
//we have the identity of a flash file
Console.WriteLine("Found the header of a flash file");
Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", s.version);
Console.WriteLine("Size: {0}", s.size);


//if the size of the fws is < length of the file
if (s.size + i<=fs.Length)
{
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to write the file to {0}",
args[1]);
FileStream fw = File.OpenWrite(args[1]);


Console.WriteLine("Allocation byte array of {0} length", s.size);
byte[] b=new byte[s.size];


Console.WriteLine("Reseting the file back to position: {0}", i);
fs.Position = i;


Console.WriteLine("Reading from {0} to {1}", i, s.size);
fs.Read(b,0,(int)s.size);


Console.WriteLine("Writing byte array back to disk");
fw.Write(b, 0, b.Length);


fw.Close();
break;
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The file is not of the correct size file: {0},
{1}", s.size, fs.Length);
}


}
i++;
}
fs.Close();


}


}


[StructLayout (LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 0x1)]
struct swf
{
public byte header1;
public byte header2;
public byte header3;
public byte version;
public UInt32 size;
}



}


In theory this could be used to extract many forms of embedded binary data.

Using Code To Create Powerpoint File From Flash?
Does anyone know if there is any 3rd party API which allows you to create a powerpoint file from flash? I don't mean just exporting a movie and putting it into a powerpoint presentation - but actually using code to create the textfields, images etc in a powerpoint file..

If there's no way to do it from Flash, does anyone know if there is any tool out there which can be used with any other language like .net, asp, php etc?

For Flash Newbies And PowerPoint Expert:Make A Homepage Flash Banner With PowerPoint.
May be it suit here!

I made an attempt to create a homepage banner with Microsoft PowerPoint and a third party tool Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional.I will show you in details in this article.

I think it’s hard to believe. But when I finished this work and publish it to web as a homepage successful, finally I believe. An idea to share it with all flash newbies and design fans pops up in my mind. That’s main reason for me to write this article.
Let’s start to create our PowerPoint work as a homepage now. I believe, PowerPoint is able to work in companion with Flash in future.

Ok, let’s begin our design tour.I will show you step by step. ^_^

My showcase: sample.swf

First, you must be sure that your PC has Microsoft PowerPoint installed. Launch the PowerPoint software. Setup it as follows:

1. File -> Page Setup. (Set the width and height as you like; I’ve set it as the below screenshot.)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_01.gif[/IMG]

Click “ok” and the page will change as follows (The rudimental form of a banner appears.):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_02.gif[/IMG]

2. Draw the loading rectangle by using a rectangle tool:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_03.gif[/IMG]

Right click the rectangle -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Wipe (other setups as follows)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_04.gif[/IMG]

3. Insert football: Insert -> Picture -> From File -> Select a picture you want to insert
Add effects to football (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Fly in.
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> Spin.
3) Add Effect -> exit -> Spiral out.

4. Insert a text box and input the sentence ““Let's publicize world cup's energy together!” in it. Add effects to the text box (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want

5. Insert the photos and add effects to photos (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit)
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want

6. The final interface is as follows (please check your PowerPoint file):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_06.gif[/IMG]

Ok, our PowerPoint banner is finished, but how to convert it to flash banner and to embed it to web?
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_05.gif[/IMG]

Yes, this tool – Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional will take up the final work.
Download from http://www.********.com/index.php?sid=6

You have two options: PPT2Flash Standard Edition and PPT2Flash Professional Edition.
After installation, you have two modes to operate this software:

1)With the shortcut icon from your tabletop. Double click it.
2)With the PPT2Flash’s plug-in mode, launch the Microsoft PowerPoint, it will show in the menu bar:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_07.gif[/IMG]

Menu of PPT2Flash:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_08.gif[/IMG]

You may Record Narration, Import Audio, Edit Audio, Insert Flash, Add Attachments, select Templates to your flash.

Ok, that’s all. I really hope you understand what I have written in this article.
Writing a tutorial isn’t a comfortable job. Does it suit you? Useful for you?
Is this article excellent or not? I am not sure. But I wrote it with my heart, really.

Cheers!

[F8] Convert PowerPoint To Flash--PowerPoint Slide Show To Web Page
Convert PowerPoint to Flash--PowerPoint slide show to web page
Lots of beautiful or useful PowerPoint slide show can be placed on our websites with the popular Flash movie format. If you are a webmaster who is good at PowerPoint or have PowerPoint presentations to share with others, you will be interested in this article.
Of course you can put the PowerPoint presentation on a site directly as a normal PowerPoint PPT or PPS file. The file can be downloaded and viewed by customers who have Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer installed on their computers. But, does everyone have PowerPoint on their computer? Of course not! Thus this way is not proper to widely distribute your PowerPoint presentations.
Let’s consider the method that converting the PowerPoint presentations to html pages? Obviously by this way we can get directly html web pages to put in our web space. But the html format can not obtain the animations and transitions of the original PowerPoint presentation. And the kind of html pages may make our web site very slow!
What is the best way to distribute the PowerPoint presentation in the internet?To reply this question, there are three aspects should be taken to consideration:
1, Obtain the PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Easy to add to the web page.
3, Protect the author copyrights
Then which format is the best choice? HTML, PPS/PPT , or Flash? Obviously Flash is the best format which can fulfil above requirements
Advantage for converting PowerPoint to flash:
1, Preserve the original PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Reduce up to 90% of the PowerPoint file size.
3, Password protect the output Flash presentation. No one can edit it except the author.
4, Embed the Flash anywhere, create beautiful web page.
5, Small size file is easy to be emailed to others.
How to convert PowerPoint slide show , PowerPoint presentation to Flash? Just follow below steps..
Steps:
1. Download the PowerPoint to flash conversion tool:

[F8] Pop Up Windows & Placing One .fla File Into Another
I am wondering about two things. First, can you take one .fla file and place it into the timeline of another .fla file and have it play continuously? If so how would this be done? I tried to import one into the library of another, and it didn't work. Secondly, I would like to create a pop up window within a Flash Movie. For example: if someone were to move their mouse over a certain word that needed to be defined, a small pop up window would open with the definition of that word inside it. I have checked all my Flash books and cannot find anything that's been any help.
Hope my questions and clear enough. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Placing Variables From Exteranl Txt File - Pls Help
guys, you gotta help

i've got a base swf that loads another swf (template5.swf) into level 5. Template5 then loads variables from an external txt file into a dynamic text box (info) inside a movie clip (text1). (goto http://www.worldi-shop.com.au/wis/fl...xplanation.jpg if you need a visual to help you figure this bastard out) when i set all the level info to 0 and load the variables into level0, i can get the info coming up in the right spot in template5.swf (not calling it from the base.swf), but when i set it all to level5 (loadvariables into 5) nothing comes up.

the txt file contains variables like: &text1.info=blah

what am i missing? it's driving me nuts!!! argh!

Opet PowerPoint - File
Hi Flashers, i need your help, in flash 5 i had the possibility to open ppt-files or similar files with "fscommand" like this:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "start "+v1);
fscommand("exec", "cmd /c "+v1);
}

v1 is a var, the user could choose which presentation he open.

so, i like the new feature of MX, loading var images, so i started to update my interface, but the "fscommand exec" does not work anymore.

is there someone with an idea how this could be managed?
i tried all tipps i could find e.g with a directory "fscommand" and all files in it..

Thanks for help!!!!!!!!

PowerPoint Hyperlink To Swf File
I'm calling a 384x320 swf file from Powerpoint. When the hyperlink is clicked, it opens up the swf file, but it opens it up in a maximized window. Is there any code I can add to the address that will allow the window to be opened up to the proper size? I could possibly do this calling up a browser, but I want to keep it simple.

Linking Powerpoint Source File
Hi there

I'm working on one flash file. I have to give link to some documents which

powerpoint application with toolbars and tools. When I give the link to the
ppt, I want the file to open in the powerpoint application but not as
fullscreen slide show.

My script looks like this:
on(release) {
getURL("xxx.ppt", 1)
}

Any ideas how to open a source ppt file inside a powerpoint application when clicking the link given in flash?

Swf File BEHIND Powerpoint Text? W/ Shockwaveflash Object
I'm trying to make a Powerpoint presentation template that has some subtle Flash movement in the background. I know how to put an swf file right into the powerpoint file using the Shockwave Flash Object (in the control box). But the SWF file then shows up as the top-most layer, even when I select "send to back" on it. I want the swf file to be the bottom layer, so that the text added in Powerpoint is visible. Anybody know how to do that?

Placing A Layer On Top Of Flash
I am having trouble placing a rollover effect over a flash animation.

I have a z-index of 1 in a layer of dreamweaver and when I make that layer visible it inserts itself behind the flash embeded .swf file

It seems to rollover correctly over nearby text.

I try to add a new layer with a z index of 0 or -1, and embed the flash file inside it, but still the rollover goes behind the flash

Any suggestions? I can provide a sample URL if needed

[F8] Placing Transparent Flash With CSS
Hey. I encountered a problem with placing a flash "menu" on a site:

http://www.d91.k12.id.us/ifhs/newsite/html/index2.html

Notice how flash pushes the text down. It's aligned with css to be over everything else and it shouldn't push anything even though its pretty big.
How can I fix that?

Is there a way to have the image height 120 instead of 420 and have the menu dropping down beyond the borders of the flash file? Could never figure that one out...

Thanks in advance.

Placing Images On Top Of Flash?
I'm very new to flash but not new to graphics, here is my dilema i'm making a website and i'm using flash slide show maker and it creates a little slideshow and html for the video to play. The thing is it creates a video directly in the center of the page so im trying to design the website around it. Is there a way to overlay graphics on top of the flash like something in the corner covering part of the movie? (that's not part of the flash itself)

Help Placing Flash In Html
For the page I'm making I have the graphics set in the background images. I want to use flash for my buttons but I have a problem. How do I align the buttons I make in flash to the proper spots I need them on the html page?

The only way I know how is to size my document in flash to the site's size and insert the background image. I then create my buttons on a new layer in the correct spots but this creates one huge flash file including the background which I don't want. How can I keep my page html but import my buttons from flash into the page in the correct positions?

Thanks

Actionscript Placing Movie Clip And Manual Placing Movie Clip OnPress Blues
Hi,

I placed a movieclip onto the stage and wrote an onPress function for it and it worked fine.

I then deleted it off the stage, and then instead tried using actionscript to attach movie clip onto the stage and set its x,y coordinated.

It showed up on the stage in the right place but didn't respond to clicks (presses) on it.

I used:
this._parent.attachMovie("up_arrow", "upArrow", 1);

The name of the mc in the library is "up_arrow", and I made sure it was exported for actionscript too.

this._parent.upArrow.onPress = function() {
trace("up button pressed");
};

This onPress function only works if I manually place the mc on the stage in the editor and not when I use actionscript.

I don't know why it's not working, anyone have any ideas? You're help is appreciated.

Many thanks.

Placing An Expiration On A Flash Movie?
I need to place an expiration time on a flah movie based on either:
-the number of uses
-or a time constraint from when it is first run.

Maybe there is some sort of internal clock that can count time down or record the number of times the movie has played.

I would prefer for this to be an internal function within the movie but if an outside source must be used that is ok.

Can anyone offer any insight?

Placing A Scroll Bar Within A Flash Movie

Placing And Resizing A Movieclip With Flash
Hi,

I am loading in .swfs to my main movie. When the movie has loaded I wish to scale the movie to a smaller size. Here is basically my code:

code:
var numFrames = 100;
var templatePath="templates/template1.swf";
var tThumb = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("selection" + numFrames,numFrames + 1000);
loadMovie (templatePath, tThumb);
tThumb._width=80;
tThumb._height=60;


When I comment out the lines tThumb._width=80 and tThumb._height=60 - I get the desired result. ie. child clip loaded into main movie. When I add them again the movie disappears, but is visible when i hit debug>list objects.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

first, i'd like to tell my "for" cicle to put the thumbnails on a lower line when they pass multiples of 6 (6, 12, 18, etc.).

second, i'd like my thumbnails to show up from alpha 0, to alpha 100, beeing that the next one starts to fade in when the previous one is at 20% alpha.

this is probablly a very simple thing to do, but i'm starting my way in coding and i still haven't been able to do it.

i leave here the link to what i have so far in case someone can help..

Placing My Flash Movie On The Internet?
Hi Kirupa Staff!

It's me again,...I have completed my movie and I need to know how to
place my movie on the internet.
I need a real simple tutorial, and I need to make sure that when the movie is opened up on the internet it will conform to whatever size the browser is in.
At the moment my movie is 800x600px...this should be standard right??
Anyways I'll be using geocities services to place my movie in.
Please help thank you very much!

!!!!!!!!!!!!I am also getting this message when I test the movie in Flash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!......

Some characters could not be converted to outlines because an appropriate outline font is not available.
These characters will disapear in the Flash Player file.
The characters that failed will look jagged if you choose Antialias Text in the view menu.

Please what do I do for this alert??????????????????

Placing A Contact Link In A Flash Movie
How do I place a contact link in a flash movie so that when a user clicks it, it automatically opens up the user's email program, like the "mailto:" in html.

Many thanks
