MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Mac PowerPoint & SWF Import Woes
I'm having a problem w/ PowerPoint on a Mac while importing SWF files. On two different Macs (running OSX 10.4, if that matters) and two different version of PowerPoint (version X and I believe 2004), I try and import an SWF file using the "From File" option for importing a movie, but I get an error that says "This file is not in a recognized movie format." I know of http://www.flashgeek.com/ but they seem to talk about ActiveX and older version of powerPoint (I see no "Control Toolbox" option). Is there indeed some Mac-based Active X control? Or...? Thank! --Ted PS This is sort of a repost from another thread just to be clear it's a separate issue. > I'm having a problem w/ PowerPoint on a Mac while importing SWF files. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > older version of powerPoint (I see no "Control Toolbox" option).

Have a look at Geetesh's article here: http://www.presentations.com/presentations/technology/article_display.jsp?vnu_co ntent_id=1000918918 Bottom line: On the Mac, use Insert, Movie, From File; on the PC, follow the instructions at Flashgeek.com; assume that the results will NOT be cross-platform. A pity, that. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I think I may have stumbled across the answer myself: When publishing your FLA file, DON'T compress it. In other words, uncheck the "Compress Movie" box in the Flash Publish Settings window. Works w/ importing Flash MX into Mac PowerPoint 2004. > I'm having a problem w/ PowerPoint on a Mac while importing SWF files. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > PS This is sort of a repost from another thread just to be clear it's a > separate issue. These folks make a commercial application http://www.powermediatools.com or http://www.powermediatools.com/download_swf.html to convert from PPT to SWF |
