INSERTING MACROMEDIA FLASH FILE (*. SWF) in PowerPoint.
Solving the problem of inserting Flash animations.
In more than one occasion I wanted to insert into a PowerPoint presentation a "video" made in FLASH with results negative, having to resort to "trick" to run the flash animation and make a recording of the screen.
Although this procedure is functional is also very limited as what is shown on the display is a copy of the animation as such without an option to use animation to its full potential.
Although I did several searches on the Internet, the procedures shown not work for me, perhaps for lack of clarity in some way or misinterpretation of the contents of articles that give explanations of how.
resolved is the reason for creating this post with the intention of the procedure even easier for those like me who do not achieve the objective for some reason.
My
I have been making presentations in PowerPoint 2007 by the greater flexibility that has this version on the 2003 so that the explanation I give is for the 2007, however, also applies to the PPT 2003 from its environment.
To avoid the first problem must be installed FlashPlayer player. If we have doubts about what went down and install from the Adobe website.
Opening PowerPoint 2007, we check if a tab on the options headband with the name of "program" as shown in the picture below.
tab If not, we press the big button (top left) where the Office logo and the window that opens will give you "click" the button "PowerPoint Options" in the popup window mark the box "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" accept and you should see the tab "PROGRAM."
With you open PPT file give to the Programs tab and in it, in the box "Control" give a click on the icon that has a hammer crossed with a tool, a window will open with a list of controls and look for "Shockwave Flash Object ". The image shows described.
We give the "OK" button, the cursor takes the shape of a cross and with it we draw a picture, which will have an "X" through it.
In the press box marked button "properties" and in the window that appears in the box "Playing" put "True" in the box "EmbedMovie" change the option to "False" to "True."
In the "Movie" put the full URL of the animation to insert. The URL must contain the name of the animation file you want in the presentation. Recall that in the URL the file of the animation must have the extension "swf"
done this
close the window and give it to "F5" to view the presentation, Flash animation should appear with all its controls and buttons active. The animation only runs in the mode of presentation.
may be the case when we have the URL of the animation and yet it does not see the extension "swf" file, whichever is the Flash animation will not run in our presentation. The way I solved this situation is looking Flash animation in temporary internet folder and run it from there to copy the correct URL.
To locate the file of the animation that we are interested in the folder "Temporary Internet files", enter "Internet Options" from Control Panel or from the "Tools" from Internet Explorer. In the window that opens, under the tab "General" give "click" the button "Settings" under "Browsing History", we give "View Files" opens a window where all files opened and saved in the folder "Temporary Internet files", there is the animation that we may not have the SWF extension to locate anything to go by the name that appears in the URL where the animation and look at the tab that says "Type" which has the description "Shockwave Flash Object", there you can see the URL or give you double click "the file to run, you must open a web page with video or animation only. Copy the URL and paste it into the presentation as described above.
Another option to insert a Flash animation is to locate the file of the animation that we want to ride on the PowerPoint presentation and copy in a folder on your hard disk.
the above steps to find the animation file in the folder "Temporary Internet", look for the file extension "swf", if you have the extension "swf" and discussed the case and not run the animation in the presentation, if you have the extension, copy the folder to another or the same where is the PowerPoint file.
To insert the animation is copied to your hard disk will perform all the steps already described from the first image, but in the "Movie" put the path where the file "SWF" for example: C: \\ Presentation \\ Details \\ load \\ animacion.swf. Close the box and press "F5" to see the animation.
I tested a PPT presentation with animation inserted in other computer where the file is not copied both PowerPoint 2007 and in 2003 (compatibility mode) and the animation has run perfectly, indicating that I do not need to drag SWF file of the animation along with the PowerPoint presentation.
I have the hope that this little post can fulfill its function with some bloggers, as in my case has not been inserted Flash animation in your presentation PPT.
