Embed Flash Movies to your Powerpoint

I have been asked by my friend if I know how to embed Adobe Flash Movies to a Powerpoint presentation. He wants to play a short animation embedded in his Powerpoint when his delivering the report. So, what I did was went to Google.com and typed “embed flash to powerpoint”. Then I found this link and shared it to him. Here’s the steps on how to do:

1. Open PowerPoint and create a new slide, and choose View>Toolbars>Visual Basic
2. Click “Control” Toolbox icon on the Visual Basic Toolbar.
3. Click to show more Controls on the “Control” Toolbox and then choose Shockwave Flash Object.
4. Draw out a rectangle on the slide to any dimension.
5. Right-click on the rectangle you have just drawn, and select “Properties”.
6. Change the settings for EmbedMovie to “True” and fill a valid absolute path of your .swf movie.
7. Click “Slide Show” in the menu bar, and then click “View Show”. You can also click the F5 on keyboard to view the effect, when the video is selected.
