    Flash in Power Point

    I'm trying to insert a flash movie (SWF) in a power point slide. I click "Insert", "Object..." and choose the flash movie I've made. What appears is an icon on the power point slide. When I preview the slide, the icon still shows there, and no flash movie plays.

    I tried editing some options there, and what I got was this: by clicking on the flash movie, a new window pops up with the flash movie instead.

    How can I get it so that the flash movie plays within the power point slide itself?

    Thanks.

    Surely not that difficult.

    It's not possible without an OLE Flash container, if my mind serves me correctly.

    its not difficult to do it, but its not easy to do it elegantly.

    make an HTML page that <OBJECT>s the SWF, then use the MSIE control to display the page in PPT.

    as you can see, its a hack-and-slash solution.

    Good idea! I suppose you could import anything with a MIME type for IE there.
