If you have an animated drawing created with Adobe Macromedia Flash and saved as a Shockwave file with the . SWF, you can play it in a PowerPoint presentation.

You add a flash file to a presentation in PowerPoint 2010 and later by adding or linking the file on a slide.

Notes:

    There may be some limitations when using Flash in PowerPoint, including the inability to apply special effects (such as shadows, reflections, glow effects, blurry edges, baguettes, and 3-D rotation), the ability to appear and crop, and the ability to compress these files to facilitating sharing and distribution.

    PowerPoint 2010 64-bit version is not compatible with 32-bit versions of QuickTime or Flash. You must either install the 64-bit version of QuickTime or Flash, or the 32-bit version of PowerPoint 2010.

Embedding a Flash file

Create a link to a flash file

Adobe Macromedia Director videos

You cannot insert an Adobe Macromedia Director video file into a PowerPoint presentation.

To add a SWF file to PowerPoint 2007, use an ActiveX control called the Shockwave Flash object and Adobe Macromedia Flash Player. To play a file in flash format, add an ActiveX control to the slide and create a link to it in the slide.

ActiveX control security settings are available in the Trust Center, where you can configure security and privacy settings for applications in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. To allow Active X controls to run, you may need to adjust your security settings. The ActiveX settings in the Trust Center apply to all 2007 Office (Edition) products. For example, if you change a certain setting in PowerPoint application, it will change in all other Office applications that use the Trust Center. additional information For information about ActiveX controls and changing settings, see Turn settings on or off on a screen.

Important:

Adding a Flash file to a presentation

Animation preview in slideshow mode

    On the tab View in a group Presentation view modes select item Slide show or press the F5 key.

    To exit slideshow mode and return to normal mode, press the ESC key.

Notes:

    Unlike pictures and drawings, Flash files are always associated with a presentation in PowerPoint 2007, not embedded in it. When you insert a linked file in PowerPoint, a link is created to the current location of the file. If you later move the file to a different location, PowerPoint won't be able to find it when you want to play the file. Before pasting Flash files, it is recommended that you copy them to the same folder as the presentation. PowerPoint will create a link to the Flash file and be able to find it until it is stored in the presentation folder, even if you move or copy it to another computer. Alternatively, you can make sure your linked files are in the same folder as the presentation and use the Pack to CD feature. This function copies all files to one folder (CD or folder) and automatically updates all file links. If your presentation has associated files, you must copy the associated files as well as the presentation if you plan to assign the presentation to another computer or email it to others.

Flash technologies that catch the eye ...

Flash (flash) is a modern, popular technology in the field of animation and multimedia. Flash– it is original and dynamic . Sites (presentations or just banners) created with the help of flash become interactive.

Flash technologies have brought interactivity, showiness and attractiveness of multimedia applications to the Internet. The Internet came to life with animations, videos and sounds

Flash intros for websites

Flash screensaver - this is a short animated film , briefly telling the visitor about the content of the web site. If the site is implemented in several languages, at the end of the video, the visitor, as a rule, is given the opportunity to select a version of the site in one of the languages.

You can use flash intros (Flash-intro) - this is a great opportunity to briefly and in colors, through excellent opportunities modern internet technologies, Macromedia Flash, to tell the visitor of your representative office about the capabilities of your company or the features of your business, even before he gets to the internal pages of your site.

Flash intros are an integral part of promoting your website on the Internet. On many sites on the Internet, you can see flash-savers that reflect the direction of the company.

A convenient technology for presenting information helps to correctly, and most importantly, in a beautiful and intelligible form, convey the main idea, which is sometimes beyond the power of large websites.

The duration of the flash screen saver varies from a few seconds to several minutes. For flash screensavers You can use the speaker's voice. After all, what the guest of your web project focuses on first of all is the design.

That is why it is important to make a positive effect on guests from the first minutes. . As the construction of a house begins with the first brick, so the effect of the first acquaintance of site customers (meet by clothes) with your organization begins with design.

Flash presentation

Flash presentation is one of the most effective advertising technologies today. Flash presentation- an important element of corporate style, allowing to produce good impression and testifying to your serious approach.

At the core Flash presentations– animation and Flash technology. Flash presentations is an interactive movie , which in a short time allows you to most effectively convey the essence of the issue to the client or partners. Today, Flash technology is very popular, it is used to develop interactive applications, presentations and websites.

If you need to create a unique impression, then when preparing websites, it is possible to implement the latest achievements in the field computer graphics, for example, such as flash-multimedia, which allows you to make very beautiful graphics and add dynamics to the page.

Flash sites

But flash screensaver on the first page of the site - not at all required condition when creating a web resource that can have completely different goals, features, methods of influencing the visitor, in some cases, instead of flash-intro on the main page, flash elements, as a design tool, can be scattered on the internal pages of your site.

And they will serve the assigned tasks no worse, and in some cases perform exclusively decorative functions.

Flash sites not intended to accommodate such amount of information, as on html-sites, but with the help of Flash technology, this information will look much brighter, which contributes to greater returns.

For Internet users, the level of a company's website is an indicator of the development of the company itself and its products.

Flash sites give the impression of interesting and complex products. Information about new and original Flash sites quickly spreads across the web, causing an influx of visitors to your site.

The development and implementation of a Flash site has a number of advantages compared to static sites:

Firstly, Flash site- implies interactivity (not only the user communicates with the site, but the site also responds to him, the site elements are rebuilt depending on the user's actions);

secondly, the Flash site is dynamic, which contributes to the assimilation of information; thirdly, it's just more interesting to be on a Flash site - to click here and there, observing the changes.

Flash site enhances the image status of the company. The creation of a Flash site speaks of the modern views of the company and serious attitude to your own image.

Flash galleries

Flash- just a great technology that allows you to make web sites not only look great, but also create a feeling of comfort and convenience for visitors.

Animated buttons or other elements of the site catch the eye of visitors and their attention more than the usual fixed elements of the site. But there must certainly be a reasonable measure in this.

It is not at all necessary to create bloated and "heavy" by the standards of the Internet flash objects, a light, small creative presentation is quite enough, and the visitor will always find out the “details” on your site, the main thing is to captivate the viewer without tiring him from the very beginning with unnecessary details.

Create slides

Creating slides when images (photos) simply replace each other after a certain period of time is the simplest thing that can be created in Adobe Flash.

Example 1 :

Let's create a new project.
Let's use the Frame-by-frame animation method.
Import the 1st photo (menu File - Import).
When a photo is placed on the stage, a key frame is automatically created in the 1st frame.
Let's take 30 frames (about 1 second) to demonstrate each photo.
We select the 30th frame, convert it to a keyframe - on the 30th frame we should have a new photo.
Import the 2nd photo, install it on the stage.
Similarly, after 30 frames we have the appearance of the 3rd and 4th photographs.

The timeline (Timeline) will look like this:

It can be seen that when creating simple slides, one layer is involved.

Example 2:

Let's create more complex slides using multiple layers.

1. Let's create a new project.

2. Import and paste the 1st photo into the scene.
In the 1st frame, a key frame is automatically created.
Let's convert the photo into a graphic symbol (see Symbols).
Select the photo on the stage, in the context menu select "Create Motion Tween" (Create Motion Tween).
Let's make the photo fade out (see Animating Color and Transparency). Set the duration of the animation to 50 frames.

Note: you can import several photos at the same time and distribute them into separate layers using the context menu command of any photo Distribute to Layers (Spread over layers).


3. Create a new layer.
Import and paste the second photo on this layer (outside the scene - on cardboard).
Let's convert the photo into a graphic symbol. Create a motion tween - a photo appears from behind the scenes on the stage (see Animation of motion in a straight line)

4. Create a new layer
Import and paste the third photo (to the left of the scene).
Let's transform a photo into a clip symbol, create a motion animation - a three-dimensional rotation (see Fig. Animation of 3D rotation and movement)
You can add some objects to the photo, such as text. To do this, create a new layer "Text" and paste your text. Text can also be animated (see text).

5. Create a new layer
Import and paste the fourth photo into the scene.
Let's add an animated object (symbol) to the photo. Previously, we created an animation of a butterfly flapping its wings (see fig. Resizing Animation).
Paste a similar butterfly on the fourth photo, creating a new layer "Butterfly".

Thus, 6 layers are created, each with 50 frames.

Now we need to put things in order in the order in which the photos appear, their duration, and also coordinate the appearance of the text and the butterfly in the corresponding photos.

All ordering operations are performed by dragging keyframes and frame ranges (see Fig. Personnel management).

Adding sound to slides

You can optionally include background sound (music) in your slideshow.

Import the sound file into the Library (see Import).

Note: Adobe Flash Professional comes with its own stock of sounds - from the Window menu, select Shared Libraries(Common Libraries) > Sounds (Sounds).


Create a new layer. In the 1st frame of this layer, create a keyframe. Select a keyframe.

Click on the Name menu, click on the selected sound file to place this sound on the selected keyframe.

Open the Sync option menu and make sure the Event option is selected (default option).

By default, each new sound added to the Timeline has the Repeat option set to 1.

Press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Command+Return (Mac OS) to announce the animation in Flash Player.

Introduction

The topic of creating training presentations using Flash technologies is very relevant.

The advantages of using Flash presentations from a pedagogical point of view - in the professional standards of the 3rd generation, the number of teaching hours allocated for teaching and industrial practice, has been significantly reduced, a lot of pressure is being placed on independent work. Therefore, for students to master the programs of professional modules, the use of Flash presentations will be most welcome, because any educational and methodological material on a particular topic of the program can be easily turned into a convenient, compact, portable and platform-independent format, which makes the self-study process more efficient. students. Educational and methodological material, presented in such an interactive Flash format, increases the visibility of its presentation, promotes the activation of educational and cognitive activity of students and a stronger assimilation of the material.

General information about educational presentations created using Flash technologies

Flash-presentation is a bright representative of products created on the basis of one of the most advanced software solutions from Adobe.

Flash-presentations implies the possibility of adding:

  • sections, subsections, pages
  • · Product Catalog
  • photographs, graphs, diagrams and other images
  • · video
  • Animation and special effects (including character animations)
  • animation of characters, logos and other elements
  • Various interactive elements
  • · sound effects, t to music and other support voice
  • various software solutions (modules)
  • · slide show
  • etc.

Just twenty years ago, the process of presenting educational materials by a teacher in a lesson was basically reduced to writing calculations and diagrams on a blackboard. Of course, educational films, TV lessons, slides, and graphic materials were already used then. However, all these visual and even animated diagrams were a finished product - the same for everyone, and the author's material, creatively processed by the teacher, was displayed mainly on the blackboard. This situation began to change with the introduction of computer and projection technology. Teachers began to actively use presentation development tools, and primarily PowerPoint, to create their own visual materials. At the same time, educational multimedia materials on CD-ROM began to be introduced, which were complex (including three-dimensional) animations, video, and sound. But still, ready-made multimedia CD-ROMs created by professionals were superior in quality to presentations created by teachers who did not own the tools for developing animated multimedia content.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that a fundamental change in the state of affairs occurred in connection with the growing popularity in the educational environment of such a tool as Macromedia Flash. As a result, the ability to create animated visual content by professionals and ordinary teachers of students and even schoolchildren is almost equal.

Flash provides visual teaching aids the following possibilities:

  • · a unique combination of a graphic editor and a simple tool for creating voiced animation;
  • Creation of automatic animation of movement and shape change without frame-by-frame drawing and programming;
  • · the presence of a visual editor to create a simple animation, combined with a powerful object-oriented programming language (ActionScript) to create complex projects;
  • · Creation of Web-content and multimedia presentations, educational CD-ROMs, etc.

All this encourages users to study this toolkit and use it in a variety of projects. The spread of Flash not only turned static Web pages into animated ones, not only spawned a wave of Flash advertising, created the new kind subcultures in the form of amateur Flash-animation, and in addition, it allowed the active use of Flash in the educational process precisely by teachers, professors, graduate students, etc. Many of them mastered Flash and began to create original presentations. The first advantage is that the FLASH presentation is based on the latest developments in the field of multimedia: Flash Shockwave technology and 3D graphics. She can use various methods work with graphics and sound. An even stronger argument for why a FLASH presentation is so much stronger than a video presentation is that the latter can easily include various video segments, but not vice versa. This combination of different ways of presenting information (video, graphics, sound) allows you to maximize the impact on the viewer - a potential client.

The second advantage is the possible interactivity of the FLASH presentation when displayed on the Internet. In other words, it contains interactive elements, by influencing which the viewer can change the scenario of the show. He can pause playback and view the object of interest from different angles, or even "climb" inside! And such a FLASH presentation video can be easily inserted into a business card website, corporate website or online store.

The third advantage is the faster loading of a Flash movie compared to a video.

In fact, a FLASH presentation is a colorful cartoon about a company or a product. It can be inserted into a website or used as a standalone product by burning it to a CD, DVD or flash drive. But it will be especially spectacular, however, and the most time-consuming, when using 3D technology. But the effect of such a presentation will more than pay for the money spent. In addition, FLASH presentations using 3D technology will remain relevant for a long time, since nothing radically new in this area is foreseen.

There are the following types of FLASH presentations:

Gift edition - a video created for partners, visitors, bosses, etc. and talking about the activities of the company. It is usually created for some kind of anniversary - as a clear, concentrated display of success and achievements.

Catalog of goods and services - multimedia, colorful display of goods and services of the company with the necessary comments, placement of accents, etc. It has a much stronger effect than showing a standard printed product catalog. Used by staff when working with clients.

Exhibition catalog - a multimedia display of exhibits and the benefits of their use, a story about manufacturing companies, etc.

Electronic report? Flash video about any event, report on the work of the company, etc. Can be used as an accompaniment to the report, and independently.

An electronic business card is in many ways similar to a gift edition about a company. Represents multimedia presentation firms.
