Articulate Presenter makes it simple to incorporate previously created Flash movies into your presentation.
You can insert only one Flash movie per slide. You will be able to view your Flash movie after you have published your presentation.
1. From within PowerPoint, click Articulate to open the Articulate Presenter menu.
2.
Click Insert Flash Movie.
3. You will be presented with the Flash Movie Wizard, which will walk you through the three steps for inserting a Flash Movie.
Step 1 of 3 – Flash Movie Wizard:
Flash Movies can be displayed in three different ways:
|
Display Type |
Description |
|
Display in slide |
This will display your Flash movie (.SWF format) in the slide panel. |
|
Display in presenter panel |
This will display your Flash movie (.SWF or .FLV format) in the presenter panel of your presentation. In order to avoid scaling, Articulate recommends that your .FLV video be no more than 233 pixels wide. |
|
Display in new browser window |
This will cause a new window to open independently of your slide. Your Flash movie (.SWF format) will be displayed within this new window. |
On this page you will enter the location (path) to your Flash movie. This can be accomplished in two ways:
§ If you know where your movie is located, you can type the path manually. Make sure to type the full path name to your .swf file. Example: ‘C:\Folder Name\My Flash Movie.swf’.
§ Click the Browse button. You will be presented with a standard Open dialog box. Simply browse to the location of your movie and select it.
When you are finished setting these options, click Next to continue.
Step 3 of 3 of the Flash Movie Wizard offers different configuration options depending on how you have chosen to display your Flash movie.
If you have chosen to Display in slide, refer to Configuring Flash Movie in Slide.
If you have chosen to Display in presenter panel, refer to Configuring Flash Movie in Presenter Panel.
If you have chosen to Display in new browser window, refer to Configuring Flash Movie in new browser window.
Tip: If
you update your Flash movie after you have published your presentation
and you want to incorporate your changes into your presentation, simply
save the updated .swf file in the same location with the same name. Then
publish your presentation again. Your
changes will be incorporated. You
can also edit or delete your Flash movie
by right-clicking the inserted placeholder and choosing the appropriate
action from the Articulate menu.
