I found numorous tutorials to embed flash into power point presentations, but
I have a parent swf which needs to load children into powerpoint. How can
this be done??

My only alternative is to have powerpoint open the flash file in a new
browser window, but I cant find any solution to add code to remove the
toolbars and such with the new window. Can anyone help me here?? Power Point
newbie....

I can't figure out a way here -- PPT just doesn't seem to recognize
loadMovie at all. I thought maybe it would work if it was loaded
automatically as opposed to on press/release of something, but that doesn't
seem to work either.

So I guess yeah, you're stuck with getURL to open the child in a browser
window.

You might ask in a Flash group, though. You may get some better answers
there.

You might check into LiveWeb. I'm not sure it will put you into full screen,
though it's definitely worth trying. http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm

Thanks so much! Although the alt method isnt as pretty, it will have to do.

Thanks again echo-
