Welcome to the home of Macromedia Flash Tutorials and Microsoft Powerpoint Tutorials

Welcome to .flashgeek. I'm working on some updates and revising some of the Flash tutorials and, of course, the Powerpoint tutorials. If there is anything in particular you're wanting me to pursue, please post it on the .flashgeek board.

ActiveX control problems with Microsoft Powerpoint and Macromedia Flash

Since the release of Macromedia Flash MX, a number of folks have reported strange occurrences. Among the most prevalent weirdness is the upside-down-and-backwards embedded object. Fear not, Flash faithful! It's only a minor glitch. Please, please, please, go download the latest version of the ActiveX control from Macromedia. This effect seems to be occurring in Flash control 6,0,2 (shipped with the product) and earlier.

Macromedia Flash tutorials meet Microsoft Powerpoint tutorials

Welcome to .flashgeek., home for Rick Turoczy's Flash and Powerpoint tutorials. I've put all of the Flash tutorials from my ancient personal site out here. They've even been revised, as promised. You can either jump right to a specific tutorial below, or head to the main page to get a brief description of what each tutorial covers. As always, I want your input on how effective these are and how they need to be fixed.

Flash and Powerpoint: Jazzing up Presos

  1. What do I need to make this Flash and Powerpoint magic work?
  2. I want to put a Flash movie inside of a Powerpoint presentation.
  3. I've got the movie in there but all I see is a big X.
  4. I've got the movie in there, but it only plays the first time through. I need it to keep playing.
  5. a. How do I rewind my movie in Powerpoint 97 to the beginning every time the slide is loaded?
    b. How do I rewind my movie in Powerpoint 2000 or Powerpoint XP to the beginning every time the slide is loaded?

Projector Launching: Calling Other Files

  1. I happen to have Visual Basic and I want to launch files from the projector environment.
  2. I don't happen to have Visual Basic, you nerd. How do I launch files from the projector environment, smarty pants?

The Infamous Flash 3 Preloading Technique

  1. Macromedia made preloading easier for Flash 4, but I still use Flash 3. How do I make an effective preloader?

Powerpoint and Flash: Getting Powerpoint into Flash

  1. I need to go the other way. How do I get my Powerpoint content into Flash?
