I have a developer who wants to put 2 flash animations on an page by
decompiling the published slide on which the animations need to go
using sothink decompiler software, and then recompling and publishing.
Do you think this is the best solution? It seems perhaps unnecessarily costly to me. He
says any changes in the future would require doing this to the entire
presentation again, making it a costly endeavor since it is a large
presentation.
Yeah, I would totally want a different solution. Is there a reason your developer doesn't just build the two animations into a single, custom Flash file that you insert into your PowerPoint slide? That seems a far more efficient process than reverse-engineering a published Presenter Flash file.
Another option would be to use Web Objects to insert the published Flash file. But, either way, I'd try and avoid doing something that causes that much effort each time you re-publish your course.
Thank you so much for your reply. I think the complicating factor may be that each animation needs to be hyperlinked to a different slide in the powerpoint.
Will your suggestions still work under those conditions?
Thank you Phil and David so much for the help. I am breathing a bit easier now.
Since I am no flash wizard, is it possible to use premade AS2 text effects such as the ones below to animate, and then insert 2 of them as swfs into quizmaker page and hyperlink them in this way?
Hi Dawn, it should work, but those are not hyperlinks to slides they are external weblinks, if you want to link to a specific slide there is action script to do this

I also forgot to add that the two flash animation are to be each hyperlinked to a different slide in the presentation.
Thanks again for your thoughts.

Dawn, it will still work in one swf, the hyperlinks will function
You can insert two swfs in quizmaker
