Importing a PowerPoint Presentation into Flash

Earlier we explained how to bring a Flash movie into PowerPoint, but how about bringing a PowerPoint presentation into Flash? You can't do it directly, but you can save the files in WMF format and import them into Flash. Here's how:


· In PowerPoint, choose File > Save As.


· In the Save as type drop-down list, choose WMF (a vector format) and click Save.


· When asked if you want to save all the slides, say you do (if that's what you want). PowerPoint saves all the slides in a separate folder.


· Open your Flash movie and click the first key frame where you want to start.


· Choose File > Import. Find the files in the folder and click the first one. They'll be named slide1.wmf, slide2.wmf, and so on. Click Open.


· When Flash asks you if you want to import the entire sequence, click Yes. Flash imports each slide onto consecutive frames.


Because you're importing a vector format, you can edit all the objects and the text in Flash!
