Macromedia flash toolbar - for flash movies in PowerPoint - importing movies into PowerPoint, working with flash and PowerPoint

The flash toolbar is designed to make it simple to insert movies, change movie settings and to avoid common problems that often occur when presenting flash movies. For example, movies not starting from the beginning. To correct this, the toolbar automatically checks and rewinds all flash movies during a presentation.

Importantly, the people viewing your presentations with embedded Flash files do NOT need to have Flash Toolbar in order to see the animation.

This software has been professionally developed by the same programmers who created the presentation and communication software used by some of the world's leading companies. Working with companies ranging in size from 1,000 to 150,000 employees spread across the globe, we have been able to develop rigorously tested, secure and user friendly software solutions. This makes this software the ideal choice for both individuals and corporations.

In addition, this software has been digitally signed (with a third party commercial signature) to ensure that it is Spyware and virus-free, and can also be used with the Microsoft Office security setting set at maximum.

This tool is compatible with Windows running PowerPoint: 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007.

Insert flash
When the tool icon is clicked, a standard Microsoft dialogue box appears, allowing you to select a movie.

Once a movie has been selected, the Insert Movie Tool's settings dialogue box appears. The default options have been pre-selected so that you can simply click 'OK'. However, if you wish, you can review or change any of the available settings. (All settings are shown below.)

This tool allows you to select a flash movie and change the play setting of the movie to stop playing once it has played, or to play continuously in a loop.

To aid usability, the user can use this tool by selecting an individual movie or by simply selecting complete slides. The latter is often required when a movie is hidden under other presentation objects or is part of a group.

Please note: the tool will always set the play options to loop or un-loop, but not all movies have been built in such a way as to allow them to loop, e.g., they may have a in-built command to hold on to the second to last frame, and as such, will never reach the end of the movie.

Click once on the icon and it will change the default play setting of the flash movie to play as soon as the slide is displayed during a presentation or to wait until it is clicked on.

Please note: the tool will always set the play options to automatic, but not all movies have been built in such a way as to allow them to play this way, e.g., they might have an in-built command to hold on to the first screen until the user clicks a button within the movie.

Allows you to convert the flash movie into a series of still images that can be printed or emailed. This tool allows the user to select a slide which contains a flash movie and to create a single slide or a range of slides, where the original slide has been duplicated and the flash movie has been replaced with a static image (jpeg). The user can then choose to make a single image, or specify a set frame number, or give a timed delay, or to ask that the movie is spread over a number of slides, or to manually play the movie and hit the 'Ctrl' to create a static duplicate at that position. (All settings shown below.)

A range of duplicated slides are created by the tool, showing frames from the flash movie which have been converted to jpeg images.

Click once on the icon and the tool will loop through the presentation slide-by-slide checking for flash movies, then rewind them all to the beginning.

This can be used to manually ensure that all flash movies have the correct starting point before giving a presentation.

Remove flash movie and macros
Click once on the icon and the tool will loop through the presentation slide by slide checking for flash movies and macros, it will then remove both.

This may be required if you plan to email a copy of a presentation to a client because:

To aid usability and prevent unintentional deletion, after the user has clicked the icon, they will be warned that the tool will delete all movies and macros and be asked to confirm whether they wish to continue.

Automatic Play-Back
Once the Flash Toolbar has been installed, it will automatically watch all presentations to see whether flash has been used.

The tool has been fully tested and is compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint: 2000, XP and 2003 running on standard versions of Windows.

We have provided a fully working demo version of the tool to allow you to download and test the product before buying. It is your responsibility to ensure that it meets your expectations and is suitable for use within your individual systems, settings, configurations, movies, etc.
