Flash for Impress

Post by Kani »

Is there a Flash that is compatible with Impress. I use Flash with Powerpoint. Would much rather use Impress.
Thanks

Did you try a search (upper right of forum pages)? I know this has come up before, and I believe there is a way to do it.

Yes, you can insert a flash object into Impress. The trick is to use the menu option Insert > Object > Plug-in, and put your .swf file name in the first text box ("File / URL").

I am not sure if you understand what I mean. In Powerpoint I use a flashplayer to make screensavers. I now make them in Impress then I have to transfer them to pp where flashplayer is in order to make the screensaver work. I would like to know if there is a flashplayer that is compitable with Impress like the flashplayerpro for pp. Or does anyone know if you can get flashplayer pro to work with Impress. I like Impress alot better than pp.
I searched and didn't find the answer I was looking for.
Thanks again for your answers.

Do you know that you can create a Flash movie directly from Impress? Use the menu File > Export. Is this what you want to achieve?
