Flash Animations won't package.
I have a few flash animations in my PowerPoint presentation. However, when I
try to package the presentation for CD, not using PowerPoint Viewer, I get an error message saying "PowerPoint can't pack the ActiveX controls in this presentation. Please make sure the computer on which you will show this presentation has these controls installed." I know I've packaged flash animations in a PowerPoint presentation before and didn't have this issue. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I've tried packaging with the files embedded and not embedded in the presentation. Thanks in advance!!!

I believe it just means it cannot package the flash player for you, not
necessarily the swf files themselves. -- Thanks, Glenna Shaw Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team http://www.pptmagic.com "rasmich" wrote: I have a few flash animations in my PowerPoint presentation.

Thanks Glenna! However, it isn't packaging the Flash files either.

You should be able to add the extra files when you go through the package for
CD wizard. One of the things that I do is right click on the flash object, click on properties and delete the path information to the SWF file. This makes the link relative as long as the files are in the same folder as the presentation. -- Thanks, Glenna Shaw Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team http://www.pptmagic.com "rasmich" wrote: Thanks Glenna!

Well, that's as close to an answer as anything I've heard. LOL

The Viewer doesn't support Active X controls, which is what you need to play
SWFs. So if you packaged in the past, you didn't specify to include the Viewer. It has never supported this. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "rasmich" wrote in message ...
