Re: Insert Flash movie (swf) into a powerpoint slide

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yes I know about the "X" and the frame being visible on the slide after
being played once in slideshow mode. Problem is this "frame" is temporary
and can't be saved - next time you open the file, you got the "blank"
slide back. That's my experience so far; and there's seem no work around
yet.

The flash files I've tested with definitely have a "first frame". If the
first frame is really blank, I can remove it from the original media file
before inserting the swf into powerpoint. We are using Powerpoint 2003.

Thanks for your response.

Is there a "first frame" in your flash file? In my experience with
PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 (which version do you use?), the start of the
flash movie is visible, if it has been shown once in slide show mode. Only
if it's been freshly inserted, only a large "X" is visible. And if the
file starts with a white screen, only this white screen is visible. Try
inserting an advertising banner, they usually have no blank frames, and
see whether it behaves differently.

Best regards,
Ute

If one inserts a Windows Media file or a Quicktime movie, the first frame
will display on the slide in Normal View and Slide Sorter View. The
image also shows up when the ppt is printed in either the Slide format or
the Handout format.

But that's not the case for Flash movie. After the swf is inserted, one
still gets a "blank" slide. The swf is working fine in slideshow mode;
but without that first frame cue, one is probably forced to explicily
type the name or a short description of the movie in text on the slide.

Is there any way to get the first frame of the Flash movie on the slide?
Do we have to write script to do that?

Any insight appreciated.
