Scenes built with Fire Instructor can be used in Microsoft PowerPoint® presentations without modification. There are two ways to insert a Flash movie (.SWF file) into PowerPoint.
Method 1
We recommend using the GlobFX "Swiff Point Player 2.0" plug-in, which is a FREE plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint that enables easy insertion of Flash movie clips (.SWF files) into your PowerPoint presentation. The installation file is included in the distribution, under the name "SwiffPoint20.exe."
Once you have installed the plug-in, it puts a new menu item in the Insert menu of PowerPoint. The menu item reads "Insert Flash Movie...". Once you select the SWF movie, PowerPoint loads the file and you can then size and position it as desired.
If you choose to use the "Swiff Point Player 2.0" plug-in, it must be installed on any computer used to view your completed PowerPoint file in presentation mode. The plug-in is FREE and may be installed on as many computers as you like. You may get more information about the plug-in from the GlobFX web site.
The second method to use Flash movies in PowerPoint uses Macromedia's ActiveX Flash player. This method is not as intuitive or easy to use, but it offers the advantage of full control over the Flash movie, and the people to whom you give your PowerPoint presentation do not need any additional plug-in's other than Flash. If you need specific control of the Flash player during your presentation (e.g. auto playback, looping, quality, etc.), you will have to use this method.
A detailed description of how to insert a Flash movie clip (.SWF file) into PowerPoint using the Macromedia ActiveX component can be found in the Macromedia Flash TechNote "Using Flash movies in PowerPoint 2000," or on this website: www.FlashGeek.com. The same method also works in later versions of PowerPoint.
