My girlfriend does marketing and she wants to put a flash file in her
powerpoint for her boss. we can do the whole insert a shockwave flash
object and point it to the swf but it doesn't work right. The thing
is she got this flash file from someone else in the company. You're
supposed to run the exe and it plays the flash content. There's a
basic background and a table of links on the left. As you click on
the links, the content in the right changes. All while this happens a
series of pictures cycles at the top.
Now, outside of powerpoint, if you run the swf file, it will only work
correctly if the "assets" folder is in the same folder as the swf
file. If you pull that assets folder out of the folder with the swf,
it only shows the background. None of the content loads.
That being said, is there a way in powerpoint to add the swf AND have
it pull the content from the assets folder or is it not working
because of how it's set up as the .exe package? She can call the .exe
as a hyperlink in the document too, but then there's an annoying
message saying some files can harm...blah blah blah, are you sure.
Not too professional for a presentation in my opinion.
is there anything we can do, or does this flash project need to be
created a different way to play properly in powerpoint?
I appreciate the help.
