hi all,
so my boss's boss's boss's boss wants a ppt he can use to talk about our department to other teams and even clients (read: this will play on a variety of computers)
and for the section about our team (multimedia, graphics, video etc) he wants a really cool interactive flash animation to play in the powerpoint (I KNOW I KNOW... you just can't tell some people)... the idea is it will navigate a lot like power point - click through to trigger next animation... until he's done talking about how awesome we are and ready to move onto oh, i dunno, the c# programmers...
when he's presenting he uses a presentation remote to click through the slides...
here are my questions:
1. is there actionscript that will 'hear' the remote clicker trying to advance the flash
2. will power point see the advance click from the remote and just move to the next slide before the flash has played through
3. what's the most seamless way to integrate a swf in a powerpoint - we need to assure him that there's almost no chance of encountering an error or a need to set a setting to get the pps to work - he won't always have a chance to pretest before a presentation...
any input would kick ass
thanks
