If the Control Toolbox is not already visible within your PowerPoint interface, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Control Toolbox.

Within the Control Toolbox, click More Controls (bottom right icon). This will open a drop down menu - choose Shockwave Flash Object. Naturally, the Shockwave Flash control must be installed on your computer for the Shockwave Flash Object to be listed in the Control Toolbox.

Your cursor will change into a cross-hair - draw a rectangle anywhere on screen - don't bother about the size and location now - we'll take care of that later.

Right-click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click Properties in the resultant flyout menu.

You'll find a "..." within the cell next to the 'Custom' option (usually the topmost option). Clicking this will open the Property Pages dialog box.

Within the movie option, type the name of the movie without any path (since it is saved within the same folder as the presentation). Alternatively, you can type an entire URL within the box to access a SWF live from the Internet. Make sure that the Playing property is set to True - you can experiment with other options as well (see screenshot below):

Tip: You might want to reposition and resize your Flash movie on the slide.

Yeah, if you save it as a .gif image. But, with a .gif image it will not work of a user event but instead on a timed basis.

I want it to stay as the swf file.........

Go to your Help menu and just search "Control Toolbox"... It has to be there somewhere...


Psst...One more reason to get a Mac and use Keynote :/
