I've embedded a flash into an html (myswf.html), I've embedded a video into an html (mywmv.html), and I've saved my Powerpoint video as a web page (myppt.htm + myppt_files folder). My goal is to create a big html file with three frames, and each of the three frames occupied by one of the three things above.
Well, I got that to work fine. However, whenever the powerpoint web page changes slides, my swf file lags for a moment. It's really bothersome. The video, on the other hand, doesn't have any trouble at all. The machine I'm using has 2x512mb Dual Channel PC3200 RAM, so I really doubt it's a memory issue. Does anyone happen to have any suggestions? I'm considering a powerpoint->swf converter, and just embedding the new SWF in place of the powerpoint, but it's a hassle and never works as well as it ought to. If it's a simple browser problem (IE6), or a setting in Flash, or something silly, that'd be nice and easy to fix, I presume.
Just as an FYI, I'm not concerned with any sort of synchronization between the three pieces of media. I just don't want a SWF file that pauses in place for a moment while the PPT is 'thinking.'
In case you are willing to "see for yourself," I'll promote laziness and offer you an html which also demonstrates the problem.
