.swf embedded in PowerPoint

I have created a PowerPoint slide that has a .swf file embedded in it. When I view it on my computer, from which I made the .swf file with Flash Pro, it works just fine.
When viewed from another computer, it does not.
It will display a single frame of the .swf, and that's all. No animations work, not even the mouse-over effects of the buttons on the flash file.
In the properties box in Powerpoint, I have changed the Embed Movie option to True. The other computer has the latest flash player installed.
I'm really not sure what's going on here.
Any ideas?

You would have to make copies of each chart with the items already selected. If you're interested on using a much easier application, you can use [XP3 BI Presenter|http://www.interactiveedge.com/products/xp3_bi_presenter_sap/xp3_bi_presenter.html], that allows you to connect to SAP from within PowerPoint and create data-driven Excel charts and tables.

Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.145 can't view swf embedded in the powerpoint anymore?

Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.145 can't view swf embedded in the powerpoint anymore?

Hello,
There is a known issue with Flash not working in Power Point in Flash Player 14.0.0.145. It will be fixed in the next release. In the mean time, you can download a beta build containing the fix at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.
If you have comments on the beta build, please post them at Flash Player Beta Channel, instead of here on the 'Using Flash Player forums.

Launch an attachment from SWF embedded in PDF

Goal: To launch a PDF attachment from the embedded SWF (in PDF).
Scenario: I have created a PDF with a SWF embedded in it and I have few attachments also in the same PDF. Now based on some user input I want to open one of the attachment in the PDF.
Question: How do I open an attachment (in PDF) from a SWF embedded in the same PDF.
Any help will be a big help :).
Cheers !!

First, you can only do this with Acrobat 9. Older methods for embedding SWF's didn't allow for this level of communication between the SWF and the PDF.
Second, to do it, you would add some ActionScript to your SWF that would use the hostContainer methodology to connect to the PDF and then use the appropriate JS methods.

Tools to create a Flash 7 SWF file from Powerpoint for deployment to 4305G?

Hi there,
We are using
4305G DMPs running firmware 5.2.1
DMM 5.2.2
We have an internal customer who wishes to find a tool to create Flash 7 (or Cisco DMS compatible Flash SWF) files from Powerpoint to deploy to the DMPs. The customer is currently using a tool called iSpring to create Flash SWF files out of Powerpoint files, but this will not display through the DMPs running 5.2.1 firmware.
http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring_presenter_pro_now_ispring_pro.html
What other options are available?
The underlying business need is to reduce the time it takes to create presentations for deployment to the Digital Media Players.
Any advice much appreciated,
Regards,
Kathy

Not sure if this helps but I use Camtasia's powerpoint plugin to convert presentations that have animation into video files in either swf/flv or wmv format. For standalone powerpoint presentations that do not include animations I simply use a program called PPTools which allows me to export high quality images from my presentations without losing any quality.

SWF insert to powerpoint

I am using Window 7 pro, 64 bit, PowerPoint 2010 and FP 17.The swf files are associated with FP17. I have attempted to add a swf file into PP using both the insert video option along with the Developer method. The insert video option I get a black box and when I attempt to preview this I get an error message "Your current security settings do not allow this action'. When I open PP, the developer version shows only a white box. I have tried the following to correct this:
Inserted swf as video through Insert/Video ribbon
Inserted swf through developer tab
Changed security settings in Powerpoint to enable all x active and macros
Changes the registry lockdown settings
Updated both the flash player plugins and stand-alone player
Changed the swf file association to IE, Firefox and stand-alone player
Saved presentation as ppt, pptx and pptm
I was under the impression the FP 17 was going to resolve this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This isn't my area of expertise, but AFAIK, the issue with powerpoint was fixed in Flash Player 15.
Do you have the latest Flash Player for Internet Explorer installed? Powerpoint is going to use an embedded IE window, so having the latest Firefox plugin wouldn't help you.
Inserting Flash into Powerpoint isn't my area of expertise, but we've been referring to this guidance, which seems really solid:

Quicktime 7.1.3 won't play .mov or .swf inserted in powerpoint

I have been using Quicktime in ppt for sometime and it always played video loops fine. I upgraded to 7.1.3 and I have all kinds of problems. I have gone under the Quicktime preferences and MIME files and activated video and miscellanous types. Once I close the window though it reverts back to default and I can no longer open mov or swf. Is there a way to save these changes? Secondly when I insert a movie into ppt now it does not work. If I just open the file using Quicktime it works but not when embedded in ppt. I have reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.4 and the movies work fine. The other problem I have is that I upgraded to iTunes 7 and it requires 7.1.3 so when I remove 7.1.3 I can't use any of the video features of iTunes. Does anybody have any work arounds. Very, Very frustrated In South Dakota

Quicktime Kirk,
I have downloaded another persons inquiry because it is exactly the problem I am having. Here is his post
"I make movies of cells and convert them to quick time and insert them into powerpoint for presentations for conferences. I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to office 2004 and now many (but not all) of my movies won't play. They seem to be there but when I click play they go white as though there is only the first image. I had saved them as cinepak and or jpeg A usually with image J or older ones from the original NIH image and I can't figure out what the problem is. I even upgraded to quicktime pro to resave them as self contained but still they don't work when I insert them. I can play them all with quicktime player and when I make new ones now in image j I save them as video and that seems to work but it would be very difficult to go back and do that with everything. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?"
My additional comments would be I used the Sample_iTunes.mov from QT and it plays like a champ in PPT. My movies are all from 2004. When I save them in the QT 7.1.3 it doesn't seem to make any difference. The older movies insert into PPT as a QT icon with 4 color quadriant. Everything including .swf are now working in QT. Thanks for your help. When I go back to 7.0.3 they work but then I can't play my videos in iTunes unless I do an erase and a reinstall to get rid of the updated iTunes. Thanks

Swf issues in PowerPoint

I am working with a Captivate 2 file that I updated. Now when
I embed it into PowerPoint 2003, it does not work. (It did on the
previous presentation before this update) I deleted the old slide,
inserted a new slide, used the More Controls > Shockwave Flash
Object. Set Properties for: Embed: True, Loop: False, Movie: copied
& pasted the direct path, Player: True (for the file w/o
playback controls). This worked once upon a time, but it doesn't
now.
So I created a published file that included playback
controls, embedded it, and it worked. However, I can't navigate
from the end of the swf to the next slide of the PowerPoint. Can
this be done? This is the preferred option, but at a loss as to
make the presentation continue after the movie.
I really feel desperate for help, as I've spent hours pouring
over the forum postings, Knowledge support, Googling, etc., and my
supervisor needs this asap. Yikes! I must be missing something
obvious. If there's anyone that can set me straight I would be very
grateful.
Christine

I see you have a solution, but I would try your original
working swf file,
then resize it so that a small area of the PowerPoint
background shows, say,
as a 5 pixel strip at the bottom of the screen. To move
forward, click on
the background strip. If you find that too ugly, you could
always simply
resize your swf in PPT so that there is an equal-sized border
all around the
swf.

PDF embedded in Powerpoint

Hi folks.
This problem occurred after I converted a PDF file from PowerPoint and then embedded it in PowerPoint slides. Whenever I tried to open and scroll through pages from the embedded PDF, the message "error in processing pages...(23)" would pop up. But I have no trouble whatsoever with PDF created from Word or Excel. Had tried uninstall/reinstall Acrobat, nothing changed.
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9, MS Office 2007 and Windows Vista.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for replying.
Yeah I can, by inserting as an object. I have tried other PDFs they all worked without problems, which were not converted from Powerpoint.
By opening the individual file, it's fine but not within the slides.

Opening an external PDF from a SWF embedded in a PDF. Is it possible?

I have created a PDF that contains an embedded SWF file that was created in InDesign. Is there a way to open a different pdf when the user clicks on a link? The "Open File" button command works in an interactive PDF, but not in a SWF file embedded in a PDF. Is there a work around, or a better way to do this?

Thanks for the response, this has been one of my fears in using flash. The reason we are doing it is that firstly, it allows for using multistate objects, and secondly, it causes the entire file to be preloaded at the opening of the file, making it run much more smoothly. In a file with lots of objects being turned on and off with buttons, an interactive Pdf tends to be very slow and buggy. I'm hoping I haven't hit a dead end in this and am open to any suggestions on how to work around the issues.

SWF embedded in PPT not playing back

I'm new to Breeze, but very experienced with PPT and fairly
experienced with Flash.
When I import a SWF file (Flash player 8) it will playback
happilty in PPT Slideshow, but does nothing when published in
Breeze, either on my machine or over a server.
I saw what looked like a workaround involving a dll file, but
the link is gone now.
I'm using Breeze 5.1.247.
Any help would be hugely appreciated. . .I'm just starting
what will be a huge job.

Erik,
The short answer is yes, but let's talk about some options...
As a footnote to all of this, just understand that CS3 by
default exports swf content for Flash Player version 9. So yes,
you're going to experience the same series of problems that have
been widely reported here about the very same issue.
Although you could export flash files to earlier versions,
that will only solve half the problem; you'd
also have to backdate your flash player to version 8 before
Adobe pushed the upgrade last year. Adobe had a page where you
could download previous versions of the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14266
Easier option: Adobe's Tech Note regarding the issue of the
.dll file can be found here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/9df0a79f
Caveat: IF you opt to install the .dll file using build
.269, there is another nasty bug you'll have to deal with. When you
publish a deck that contains content in the notes section of
PowerPoint, what you'll see is encoded text in the Notes Panel of
your Breeze presentation. There's a fix for that as well, but it
requires you to change an attibute in a line of code. What you'll
need to do is open the viewer.xml doc that gets created after
publishing. It can be found in the data directory. Then you'll need
to find and replace
every instance of
isHTML="false" and set it to "true". Simply re-run your
index.html file for the presentation and that should clear up the
notes bug.

Calling functions of a SWF embedded within an HTML Text Field...

I have a slideshow SWF of size 150px by 150px which changes
image every 5 seconds with the use of a timer, the SWF has a kill()
function which stops the timer.
In a larger content holding SWF I have a dynamically
generated textfield which populates its htmlText property via an
XML feed.
Within the htmlText I am inserting the slideshow SWF using
the <img> tags... It all works great until I proceed to
another page as there is no way to unload the slideshow SWF or call
its kill() function which eventually lags the system as I have
several heavy animations in the pages on ENTER_FRAMES.
Does anyone know how to unload a SWF or gain access to its
functions which is embedded within htmlText...

Thanks for replying :)
I tried that and using txt.getImageReference("idHere") I
casted it to a loader object however it wont let me then get access
to the SWFs functions...
I tried creating a sprite and using addChild() tried adding
the loader to the sprite but it gave me cohesion errors...
Any other help MUCH appreciated

Xcelsius - SWF embedded in ppt creates large file - how to reduce it?

Hi there,
I have successfully created my dashboard and need to add the swf file to a ppt with additional information.
The actual swf file is about 1.2MB, the ppt without it is about 800KB but combined, the file is 3.8MB - even trying to zip it only gets it down to 3.5MB which is still too big to send it out by email on a daily/weekly basis.
Any tips how to further compress the file size?
Many thanks

Why doesn't a wmv movie embedded in Powerpoint play, when I've downloaded Flip4Mac?

When I play the movie directly (outside Powerpoint) using FlipPlayer, there's no audio. When I play it using QuickTime, it plays fine. However when I try to play it in PowerPoint, it says Codec Unavailable and won't play at all.
The Powerpoint file was provided to me for training purposes. I'd prefer to not modify it if possible.
Thanks for your help.

Flip4Mac allows playback of most Windows Media Player formats via QuickTime Player.
QuickTime Player can't open Powerpoint files so something else on your machine (Keynote) is trying to view it. The Flip4Mac component only works with QuickTime Player so a .wmv file embedded in a .pps file will not play on a Mac.

Swf embedding with Dreamweaver

I have tried to test working of swf in Mozilla firefox with a code prepared in Dreamweaver as below. By some reason it appears a gap between swf cell 835x110 and the next cell 835x19, as if there is an additional row. In other browsers all is alright, there is ni gaps. It seems it's something wrong in the code. Have anybody a solution?

First I would check if you are actually assigning your
dynamically loaded in Font to the text - Remove your Font from the
Windows Font folder to uninstall it - then try loading just the
SWF. It shouldn't matter if that font is installed or not - if its
embedded correctly, it will display in that font
appropriately.
