Flash and animations May 12, 2014 By Bruno Dethune After introducing a flash file through Presenter in a ppoint file, I would like to use this flash as a trigger. Meaning, when clicking on it, a text box should appear. This works fine with all the other elements I insert in powerpoint. Can anyone help me?
Christine Hendrickson Staff almost 10 years ago05/12/14 at 10:34 am (UTC) Hi Bruno, As stated in this article, triggers are not supported in animations. I'm not sure if this is the option you're using for the Flash video and animations, but if so, it might be a good idea to try another option. You may also want to review the Flash Movie Best Practices article. What you may be able to do is insert the Flash object, and animate with "On click". This could reveal the text box in your slide. If that doesn't work for you, can you tell us what type of Flash object your're working with, or if you're able to share the Flash file here? Thanks!
