When a chart is generated a Flash file .swf is created. You can add this .swf file to a PowerPoint Presentation by following these simple steps:
Open PowerPoint and and select the project where you wish to place your Movie. Create a new slide
On your Main Menu bar select View | Toolbars | Visual basic. This will display the 'Visual Basic' Toolbar
Select the 'Control' Toolbox icon and open the 'Control' Toolbox
Select the 'More Controls' icon and scroll down the list to Shockwave Flash Object. Note: What you are doing is inserting an Active X control. You must use the Shockwave Flash Object to see your .swf Movie
You will notice that your mouse pointer has changed to a cross hair cursor. Draw out a rectangle on your slide (the size can be adjusted later)
Right-click on the rectangle you have just drawn and select Properties. This will open a list of Movie properties that you can apply
To embed your Movie, make the following changes: · Embed Movie: change this value to True
· Loop: change to False (if you want your .swf Movie to loop, leave this parameter as True)
· Movie: type in the absolute path of your .swf movie (c:/movie_directory/movie_name.swf )
Test your Movie by selecting Slide show | View show. You will see your .swf Movie playing on the slide you placed it on.
Adjust the size to suit your requirements by clicking on the Movie to turn on the drag control points. Drag the Movie boundaries to the dimensions you require.
