Re: Flash Movies with a Trasparent Background that work in PowerPoint?
Transparent SWF objects in PowerPoint!
Hi John, and you other Flash cats! I have experimented a bit with having transparent SWF objects in PowerPoint. I have put a little something together for simple demo purpose.
This PowerPoint Show demo, attached, is rendering a HTML embedded SWF object with transparent background. The SWF object contains exclusively vector text shapes without background and is rendered on top of a bitmapped image.
The HTML can be placed locally for off-line presentations or server-side located for on-line presentations. In the demo the HTML is ftp'd to the server to avoid attaching all containing files in this thread. You can open the source to see the coding (it's IE6 optimized) by right-clicking the HTML file (outside the SWF object) and select "View Source".
I will intend to streamline the coding/scripting for exclusive PowerPoint usage. The result is anyhow that, for sure, transparent SWF objetcs can play in PowerPoint Show off-line and on-line! With a HTML workaround.
Have fun! Cheers, Anders
(Uh-oh! The .pps file will not attach in this thread!)
I will try to url it here:
SWFTransparencyHTMLRemote.pps
It's available. Right-click and select "Save Target As..." to your HD and play the .pps in your PowerPoint Viewer.
